One summer. One bad idea. One unforgettable love story.
After a brutal public breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family's lake house in Tahoe. Her plan is simple: no men, no drama, no distractions.
Then Wyatt Graham shows up.
Four years older and dangerously good at getting under her skin, Wyatt is the living embodiment of a bad idea — and the guy who crushed her pride when she confessed her feelings at sixteen. Now his music career is stalling and he's come to Tahoe looking for inspiration. He didn't expect to find it in Blake.
He's spent years convinced he's all wrong for her. But she's not the girl he once knew anymore. She's confident, captivating, and impossible to ignore. And the slow-burning tension between them? It's not going anywhere.
A swoon-worthy summer romance set in the Briar universe — perfect for fans of The Deal who want to see the next generation find love.
