Not when it’s Justin Banks, Amelia’s former best friend andthe only man she’s ever lovedwho now hates her.

When Amelia’s grandmother died and left her half of herbeach house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go tothe boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heartAmelia broke years ago. The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body anda hard-ass personality to match.

Amelia hasn’t seen Justin in years, but neither one iswilling to give up the housewhich means they’re living together, at least forthe summer.
