Return to Avalon Bay with the third book in the addictive and romantic series by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. College student Cassie Soul hasn't spent an entire summer in Avalon Bay for years, ever since her parents divorced and her mother dragged her to Boston. Now, with her grandmother selling the family-owned beach hotel that's been in the family for fifty years, Cassie returns to the picturesque seaside town, excited to spend time with family and celebrate her twentieth birthday... and maybe find a summer adventure. She's ready for thrilling and passionate feelings. And on the first night in town, she finds the perfect candidate: Tate Bartlett, the fun-loving golden boy of Avalon Bay.

Tate, a sailing instructor and beloved player, is no stranger to adventures. However, maybe this time it's different? As soon as he meets Cassie, he realizes she's not a girl for games, and the last thing he wants is to break her heart. So, despite the attraction he feels, he turns her down. However, that awkward moment doesn't stop their friendship from blossoming. Tate helps Cassie find the adventure she's been craving. It isn't long before he wonders if he made a big mistake. Cassie is amazing, funny, and honestly, the most incredible girl he's ever met. He can't deny it anymore: now he truly wants that adventure. Maybe even something more.

As Cassie and Tate walk the line between friends and romantic partners, they'll discover this is the least complicated part of the equation. Because Avalon Bay is full of secrets—and their relationship might not survive when a particular secret comes to light.
