A spicy, emotional beach romance from the blockbuster Avalon Bay series.

College student Cassie Soul returns to Avalon Bay for one last summer before her grandmother sells the beloved family boardwalk hotel. Her plan: soak up the sun, celebrate her 21st birthday, and find the perfect summer fling.

Enter Tate Bartlett — sailing instructor, golden boy, and self-proclaimed lover of a good time. He knows Cassie is different the moment they meet. She's gorgeous, hilarious, and the coolest person he's ever known. So he does the responsible thing and friend-zones her... only to realize almost immediately that was a massive mistake.

As Cassie and Tate navigate the blurry line between friends and lovers, they discover that Avalon Bay is full of secrets — and some of them could change everything.
