From the New York Times bestselling author of A Million Kisses In Your Lifetime comes a grumpy x sunshine summer romance that sizzles.

After a very public breakup, a summer at her family's lake house is exactly what heiress Rachel Henderson needs.

But after setting her mother's expensive curtains on fire, Rachel is saved by a very handsome fireman. Too bad he's also the grumpiest guy she's ever met.

Rachel keeps running into the fireman around the lake, and when she breaks through his tetchy façade, she finds herself totally falling for him. And it seems he feels the same.

But as summer draws to a close, Rachel must decide: Will she head back to the city, or stay by the lake forever?
