Tired of trailing her mother's military career to base after base, nineteen-year-old Olivia instead heads to the idyllic Atlantic island of Martha's Vineyard for the summer. Life's taught her that nothing stays, so this postcard perfect vacation enclave that few actually call home will give her a chance to earn good money lifeguarding without the inconvenience of the attachments she shuns but secretly craves. That changes once Olivia moves into a ramshackle bungalow with four other seasonal employees that's about as far from the wealthy tourists as you can get. After her first attempt at summer romance with Tony crumbles as if it were made of sand, she unexpectedly discovers something worth holding onto with Wes, her lifeguarding partner and heir to a family fortune with his own reasons for needing an island escape. When the complications of 'real life' threaten their perfect golden summer, Olivia must decide whether or not she believes that Wes will really be hers to keep. The sexy seaside chemistry as Elle Kennedy's "Avalon Bay" Trilogy with all the vibes of "The Summer I Turned Pretty," but all grown up.
