Now Kane is torn between becoming the man she needs or the man his father respects—and the outcome might be a love that blossoms for more than just ONE SWEET SUMMER. less

When Liam signed with hot band, Wylde Ryder, he rocketed to fame and never looked back. He's returned to Seattle for a bandmate’s doomed wedding, but seeing Beth rekindles feelings he thought he’d buried for good. Plagued by turbulent memories, their passionate reconnection sparks brighter than his concert spotlights.
