Cruel Summer

She has it all ... except for him. As the youngest member of a wealthy family, Wren Kensington has had plenty of practice playing the part of the superficial socialite. A trip to the Hamptons was supposed to be the start of a typical summer, but nothing is ordinary about the seismic moment she meets Sawyer Bennett. Not the cliffside setting, not his aggravating attitude, and especially not her sudden inability to focus on anything but him. Sawyer avoids the Hamptons's elite as much as his job at the local marina allows. Then suddenly, he can't go a single day without some reminder of Wren. She's everywhere: his work, his town, his thoughts. A blonde distraction he doesn't want or need, especially as he copes with the aftermath of twin tragedies that tore his family apart and scrambled his future. They agree: it's a summer fling. Brief... until it stretches seasons. Contained... until it cross continents. Superficial... until they're guarding each other's secrets. Neither believe it will work between them. But there's only so long they can fight the pull of the tide, and love might be the one thing that can save them from drowning.
