About the Book: Five college friends return every summer to the same California beach house, bound by one rule: no dating within the group. But Sutton and Everett broke that rule years ago, turning a secret fling into an irresistible annual tradition—until it ended in heartbreak. Five years later, Sutton is forced to face Everett again when their friends reunite for a week of sun-soaked memories, shared traditions and unresolved feelings. As old chemistry resurfaces, they must decide whether breaking their promise could give them a second chance. A steamy second-chance romance featuring friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, forbidden love, forced proximity and found family.
