ABOUT THE BOOK:

Opposites attract when a real estate developer's quest for a promotion returns her to the coastal hometown she loathes--where she's reunited with her teenage crush turned town golden boy. ​

There's no place like home...and that's exactly how real estate developer Samantha Leigh plans to keep it. When she ditched Rock Island, Florida for New York City, Sam left everything behind--her alcoholic mother, the high school bullies, her ex-best friend, and her first crush, Austin Marcs. She's never looked back--until her boss ambushes her with an extended assignment on Rock Island, where promotion will be on the line. Sam has no choice but to book a flight home . . .

. . . to where nothing has changed. Her mom still drinks, the mean girls became mean-girl mommies, and Austin? The town's golden boy is now its favorite ferryboat captain--still smoking hot, inexplicably devoted to the island, and Sam's total opposite in every way. He insists Rock Island is perfect as is, without her big corporate ideas, and he's determined to prove it. Before long, Austin's personal tours of sandy beaches and swoony sunsets almost make Sam forget her hometown hate. But is falling for the guy--and the town--she left behind worth the risk?


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
