She came to the lake to breathe.
She never expected to fall in love.

Monroe Montgomery was only supposed to spend the summer clearing her head not falling for a man who would turn her entire world upside down. Engaged to a powerful CEO, tied to a father with dangerous secrets, and expected to play the role of obedient daughter and perfect bride, Monroe had accepted her fate... until she met Jude.

Jude Callahan is everything she shouldn't want bold, unbothered, and undeniably irresistible. What started as a stolen summer moment quickly became something deeper. He sees through her walls. He challenges her. And he makes her feel alive in a way she's never known.

But when Monroe's secret life collides with her forbidden summer romance, everything spirals. Now, with a wedding she doesn't want looming and a man she can't stay away from fighting for her, Monroe is forced to make an impossible choice:

Will she follow the life she's been forced into or risk everything for a summer love that just might be the real thing?

Set against the heat of a Southern summer and the tension of high-society scandal, this steamy, emotional love story will grip your heart and refuse to let go
