You know what they say- when everything's falling apart, move to the beach and marry the grumpy boat captain you haven't seen in over a decade.

After losing both my teaching job in the city and my grandmother, I feel like I have no idea what to do with my life. If that isn't bad enough, I just found out my grandmother left me with one more challenge- the only way I can take over the hotel where I spent every summer growing up is by finding a husband for the next year.

I'm devastated, but when Wyatt Robinson finds me crying in my car, he proposes a solution I don't know how to say no to. It's been less than twenty-four hours since I arrived back in Crestbrook Cove, and suddenly I'm married to a man who definitely has gotten a lot hotter since the last time I saw him, and I'm now responsible for not one but two failing local businesses.

Between organizing epic bachelorette weekends, renovating the High Tide Hideaway Hotel, and giving Wyatt's charter boat business a much-needed makeover, I've got more than enough to keep me busy until next summer. The only problem? The more time I spend with Wyatt, the more I'm convinced that a year with him won't ever be enough, and I don't think either of us is ready to admit that this marriage might not be as fake as we planned.
