Description
Kayla Harris doesn’t have the time. A past heartbreak has pushed her to keep busy during college and as she enters her final year, one last job-filled summer stands between her and the internship of her dreams. When a cute tourist crashes into her life, Kayla has to reconcile her fear of another broken heart, and her determination to keep him at arm’s length with her growing attraction. Chase Wilmington is ready to relax. Finished with college, he’s excited to take it easy before jumping into the family business. Summer vacation is exactly what he needs and he’s ready to unwind… until he meets Kayla. All he wants is a moment of her time, but she won’t give him the time of day. Chase is captivated, and Kayla is trying to stay focused. When her world comes crashing down around her, Kayla has to rely on the very guy she’s tried to keep at a distance. Can Chase reach the girl who seems immune to his charm, or will Kayla’s fears keep her from letting someone new into her life? Summer vacation only lasts so long and life, like love, can be complicated.
