Asher Family

One accident later, and I can't remember the last three years or the exact reason why my childhood nemesis and I still refuse to hold a civil conversation. Heck, I didn't even know he had moved back to our small town of Lovers until I woke up in the hospital and he was the only one sitting next to my bed. Suddenly, I'm living a life that doesn't sound like me. My brother is an overprotective babysitter, and I only want to be treated normally. There's only one person who doesn't treat me like broken glass: Hudson.

I honestly thought there was no harm last summer in naming Miles Asher as my boyfriend. I was convinced my friends from that part of my life would never meet him. I mean, come on, I'm a travel influencer constantly moving from one beach to the next, and Miles is a small-town mechanic. He loves his family and friends, and he's a nice guy. Or so they say. Miles has never cared for me. But now I'm staying in his town of Lovers for the summer, and—surprise!—my vacation friends are too.

Luca Asher is my brother's ex-best friend, the best contractor in our small town of Lovers, a walking dream when he doesn't have a shirt on—heck, with it on, too, and he was the first boy I ever loved. He just doesn't know that last part. On the rare occasions I converse with him, I get a comeback for everything. Our banter is my favorite thing. He's so clever and quick and, again, sexier than any man I've ever met. But none of that changes the fact that he betrayed my brother. My family. Me. And none of those facts would matter except for my one little problem.

Declan Young—single dad, friend to all three of my brothers, and the man who can't walk into a room without getting under my skin. He's too confident, too charming, and from the day he moved back to our small town, the golden boy everyone adores. Growing up, he was older, and I thought of him only as my rival. I still do . . . except now he's hotter, infuriatingly helpful, and living next door. Oh, and his daughter? Best friends with my son. Which means Declan is suddenly everywhere—in my kitchen, in my backyard, in my head when I'm trying to sleep.
