This summer was supposed to be spent lounging on the beach, madly in love with my boyfriend. Until he decided to move to Singapore, and break up with me an hour before his plane left. Now I'm stuck in a Hamptons house share with six of his closest pals, including his best friend...who despises me. Since the moment Smith Redfield laid eyes on me, he's hated my guts. I'm serious, I think the raven-haired restaurateur gets physically sick just being in my presence. And he's never been shy about hiding that fact.

In a world of wealth and power, the rules of love and war are nothing as they seem. Nora Randolph never wanted a life of luxury. But when her mother falls in love with the heir to the British throne, their small-town lives are uprooted and every little girl's fantasy becomes her reality. All too quickly, she learns the dangers of running in circles with the world's elite, especially when she attracts the attention of Winston Academy's resident golden boy. Asher Frederick has known nothing but favor and fortune.

This summer was supposed to be an escape from the city and the demons lurking within it. Too bad the minute I arrive at the beach house I’m sharing with friends, the guy I swore I’d never talk to again in my life walks through the door. Now, I’m not only stuck hiding out from an ex who won’t leave me alone, but with someone who screwed me over before he could even be considered an ex.

You know what's guaranteed to send your heart into your throat? Opening the front door to find the boy you had a crush on all through high school telling you he's the new subletter. Of course, he barely knew I existed back then, and still doesn't. But in a house of six college kids, it should be easy to remain invisible while carrying a torch for him. Except Austin Van Hewitt, my hometown's golden boy, doesn't get the memo. After we throw our first party of the year, I'm on his radar and somehow my lips miraculously end up on his.

Quando Paxton Shaw lascia Demi Rosen senza nemmeno un saluto, le ruba la luce in tutti i sensi. Ora, otto anni dopo, sta cercando di riportarla nella sua orbita. Ma lei è una donna diversa dalla ragazza debole che correva ogni volta che lui la chiamava nel cuore della notte. Forte, di successo, la sua missione di vita è esaudire i desideri di bambini le cui fiamme si sono quasi spente. Ma quando un bambino speciale costringe le loro strade a scontrarsi, è impossibile tenere nascosti i sentimenti del passato.

When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her shine in both manners. Now, eight years later, he’s trying to pull her back into his orbit. The nation’s most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end, has finally realized Demi is the one who got away. But she’s a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running whenever he called in the middle of the night. She is strong and successful. Her life’s mission is to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been extinguished.

Ryan Shea has sworn off men. After her last relationship imploded in front of her eyes, she decided to take a break from swimming in the dating pool…possibly forever. The brilliant computer whiz loses her brain when it comes to love, and jumping feet first burns her every time. Without a home or much of a clue where life is headed, taking a trip back to the small town of Fawn Hill to stay with her best friend seems like the only option. Except it puts Ryan directly in the path of the one man she can’t fall for.

Forrest Nash is a smug know-it-all. With his brains, ridiculous good looks and penchant for disobeying the laws of both the police and the dark web, Fawn Hill’s resident genius is cockier than any man Penelope Briggs has ever encountered. It doesn’t help that their six-year age difference makes him completely ineligible in her eyes. Add in the fact that he doesn’t want marriage or babies, and that should eliminate him from the dating pool forever. But it doesn’t mean she can’t sleep with him. Once. Or twice. Or ten times.

Lily Grantham has always done what she’s been told. The daughter of a senator, she grew up as the good girl of Fawn Hill, and carried that torch right on through to adulthood. Her only wild streak? Bowen Nash. She loved that boy since the day they laid eyes on each other, and it nearly ended them both. A decade later, and Lily still can’t move on, even if Bowen has made it clear he doesn’t love her anymore.

Presley McDaniel lives her life from moment to moment. Making permanent decisions means obligation, and that would force her to stop being the family disappointment. Waitress, fitness instructor, dog walker…you name the hourly job and she’s probably held the position. But when her grandmother can no longer run her book shop in Fawn Hill, a town so small it barely has its own zip code, Presley steps up to help.

When my best friend died of cancer just before her eighteenth birthday, she left her coveted bucket list to me. So, it falls on me to finish it for her, to honor her memory. In the next year, it's my mission to: dye my hair, have sex, camp out in a tent, go bungee jumping, and get revenge on Lincoln Kolb. Most are doable, some terrify me, and then there is the last item on the list. 

Avrei dovuto trascorrere una rilassante estate al mare insieme all’uomo di cui sono innamorata. Peccato che Justin abbia deciso di andare a vivere a Singapore, e di lasciarmi un’ora prima di salire sull’aereo. Così, ora mi tocca condividere una casa vacanze negli Hamptons con sei delle persone a lui più care, incluso il suo migliore amico… che mi detesta. Smith Redfield mi odia con tutto il cuore sin dal primo istante in cui ha posato gli occhi su di me. Sul serio, credo che al ristoratore dai capelli corvini venga la nausea quando si trova in mia presenza. E non ne ha mai fatto segreto.
