When a woman who'd rather do anything than read meets a swoon-worthy
bookworm, sparks fly, making for one hot-summer fling in New York
Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay's new rom-com.
For Samantha Gale, a summer on Martha's Vineyard at her family's tiny
cottage was supposed to be about resurrecting her career as a chef,
until she's tasked with chaperoning her half-brother, Tyler. The teenage
brainiac is spending his summer at the local library in a robotics
competition, and there's no place Sam, who has dyslexia, likes less than
the library. And because the universe hates her, the library's interim
director turns out to be the hot-reader guy whose book she accidentally
destroyed on the ferry ride to the island.
Bennett Reynolds is on a quest to find his father, whose identity he's
never known. He's taken the temporary job on the island to research the
summer his mother spent there when she got pregnant with him. Ben tells
himself he isn't interested in a relationship right now. Yet as soon as
Sam knocks his book into the ocean, he can't stop thinking about her.
An irresistible attraction blossoms when Ben inspires Sam to create the
cookbook she's always dreamed about and she jumps all in on helping him
find his father, and soon they realize their summer fling may heat up
into a happily ever after.
