Things were going fine until Blake “the Flake” Moffitt decided to show his much-too-handsome face again in Hallmark Beach.

I may have been in love with my best friend’s brother once upon a time, but that fairytale is long over. Now, he’s just another person who’s left and disappointed me. Who’s hurt my best friend, Marilee.

This time, I’m determined to protect both of us from expecting too much.

Thankfully, he’s only here for the summer.
So even though he’s our temporary housemate—did I forget to mention that?—maybe I could tolerate his presence in town. Except for one little thing…

He’s parked his food truck right next to the only full-service restaurant in town…
…and it’s the one I’m currently managing. The one that was already struggling on my watch, and now is plunging into the red.

Guess what, buddy? This means war.
Blake must be stopped, but he thwarts me at every turn. It’s bad enough we have to work together on the town’s Fourth of July festival planning committee, but then he has to go and be sweet when I least expect it—more like the guy I used to know.

So is he my enemy…or the love of my life?
Only time will tell. But time has a funny way of ticking away. And with a restaurant opening calling him back to the big city at the end of the summer, time is the one thing we don’t have on our side.

Perfect for fans of:
✔️enemies to lovers
✔️best friend’s brother
✔️temporary roommates
✔️forced proximity
✔️first love/crush
✔️small-town romance
