Opening my own design firm in Lilac Harbor was hard, but things are finally starting to break my way. Then, I meet my new neighbor and the bane of my existence. Wade Collins. He's a grumpy jerk. He's also my partner for a big remodel that I've been hired for.
Working with Wade will be difficult, but nothing that I can't handle. Except, the more time that I spend with him, the more that I start to like him. Who knows, maybe by the end of this project, we can even be friends.

I've been in love with Auden Laurie since high school. We got off on the wrong foot, though, and I never managed to fix it. Now we're working together, and I know that this is my chance to finally win my girl over.
She wants to be friends and bury any hatchets, which is a good start, but I want more. I want all of her. I just need to figure out how to make her mine.

'I think that there's been some kind of mix up.' That's my first clue that my stay in Lilac Harbor isn't going to go according to plan. There's been a mistake with my rental booking and now instead of having the charming little bungalow on the shore all to myself, I've got a not so charming roommate.
Yates Warner. He's a grump in every sense of the word, but there's something about the guarded translator that tugs at my heartstrings. I'm determined to make the best of this situation, and who knows? Maybe my grumpy giant and I can even be friends.
Yates
Yeah, we're definitely never going to be friends. Arlowe Mitchell is too sweet for a grouchy loner like me. Also, way too tempting. The more time I spend with her, the more I want her.
When she tells me about the newest book her book club is reading and says how she always wanted to have a summer fling like the characters, I finally get my opening. A four-week fling. The only rule we have is to not get attached. I thought it would be a piece of cake to follow but the more time I spend around my new roomie, the more I realize that I'm in real trouble of breaking our one and only rule.
