Join us at the Logan family lake house in Tahoe…  After a brutal breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family’s lake house in Tahoe, determined to shut out the world.

With his music career stalled, Wyatt has come to Tahoe for inspiration. The last thing he expects is to find it with Blake. He’s spent years keeping his distance, convinced he’s all wrong for her, but she’s no longer the innocent girl he once knew. She’s confident, captivating, and impossible to ignore. And the slow-burning tension between them? It’s catching fire fast. They both know this can’t last, but one reckless kiss turns into another, and soon they’re tangled in something that feels dangerously like more. Just as they finally give in to the pull, tragedy tears them apart, leaving their hearts in pieces. But forgetting that one, nearly perfect summer? Not a chance.

When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist.
