Isla Bennett wasn't looking for anything when she arrived at the beach-just a break, a distraction, a chance to forget the three years she spent losing herself in a relationship that left her with more scars than memories.
Jace Walker wasn't looking for anything either.
But from the moment they meet on the shoreline-hands brushing, hearts guarded, and chemistry impossible to ignore-"just for the summer" quickly becomes more complicated than either of them planned.
No strings. No expectations. No falling.
It was supposed to be easy.
Until late nights turn into something softer, stolen moments feel a little too real, and saying goodbye becomes the one thing neither of them is ready for.
Because some people are meant to be temporary...
Right?
When Isla returns months later for her dream job, she expects a fresh start-not the one person she never truly left behind. Now working side by side, the lines they once drew begin to blur, and the feelings they tried to forget come rushing back stronger than ever.
But this time, it's not just the summer at stake.
It's everything.
