When a summer fling with the new guy turns into the romance of a lifetime, only one thing stands in their way: He's the Crown Prince of a small country.

Home for the summer, Jo Finley struggles to save her family's marina, comfort her ailing father, and find a way to break up with a controlling boyfriend. She quickly becomes distracted by a newcomer to their small town. Immediate attraction has her reeling and second-guessing her choices.

Nick Waters, otherwise known as Nico Valdez, Crown Prince of Torren, an island country off of Greece, is hiding out in Shady Lake, South Carolina for the summer. His one task: no entanglements with other women. Lay low until the press in his country move on to other scandals. But when he meets Jo, he soon realizes she is an entanglement in the making. He gives up trying to resist her and determines to enjoy an enticing summer fling with a beautiful woman who keeps him grounded in ways no one else can.

When Nico gets called home for a family emergency, and Jo must stay to take care of her father and business, they realize how desolate their lives could be alone.

Editorial Reviews

"I decided to read a couple of chapters prior to going to sleep. Little did I know that I would be dragged into the story until the end at 2 a.m. I even had to read the teaser at the end for the next story before I could put the book down and go to sleep. What a nice surprise." SRichards

"This is the first book I've read from this author and didn't want it to end. Loved the characters, conflicts and chemistry. Jo and Nico's story was great to read. Will recommend to friends." GoodBrother79

"A dream world. But so very enjoyable to read. All of these books are great. Well written. Great personalities! Keep writing!!!😇💖" Karen Sue Goins

Kevin or Nick?

Devotion to family and friends defined Jo Finley's life. Nick was just a friend for the summer until he wasn't. Jo comes face-to-face with the fact of her father's dementia and it saddens her. Is Kevin really the man she thinks he is? Is there a future for Jo and Nick? Good read.

Great beginning of a sweet series 😇

Fantasy over stark reality !!!!!! Sometimes that is all we need to be happily distracted when there is sadness overwhelming us...... 9/11/01 ........ A very heartbreaking day remembered🗽 ........The passing of the much loved QUEEN👑...... This book just helped 💘💘💘💘💘 Thank you, Sophie Summers!!!!! Looking forward to the rest of the Series 😉

They started out as friends

This was a charming, quick read with interesting main characters; although I didn't get pulled that deep into it. More like a summer read. There are some challenges in it of course but they do get worked out for now. The follow up book about Jo and Nick and their adventures is in the next book, " The Crown".Jo is a steady, loving woman who is also hardworking. So hardworking that she has almost lost the fun loving side of her personality. Her boyfriend Kevin isn't much help in that area either. He is so hardworking that he is kind of driven and he pretty much stomps out that part of Jo's personality. Whether consciously or not, that is his affect; he's a snooze. Being responsible is one thing but Jo quickly begins to wonder whether she really love him or not. I say, dump the bum, there's no sizzle there.Nick has a bit of the opposite problem of being way too much into fun that it gets him into trouble. He doesn't chuck all of his responsibilities but he's been followed around by the paparazzi and they have snapped some uncomfortable pictures that have him now trying to lay low. His friend and assistant Julian has his back and adds to the story. Julian also has a romance brewing with Jo's best friend Sierra which is something we just get a peek into. I wonder if they will get their own story?My final words on this book is that it was sweet, clean and probably would be well suited to a younger audience.

A great series start

This seems like it will be a great series. There are many fun characters. This is a sweet, clean romance.

Relaxing, enjoyable read

I decided to read a couple of chapters prior to going to sleep. Little did I know that I would be dragged into the story until the end at 2 a.m. I even had to read the teaser at the end for the next story before I could put the book down and go to sleep. What a nice surprise.
