Summer Showdown

A Chicago attorney on sabbatical. A small-town lifeguard with everything to prove. Their fake summer romance was supposed to save Wintervale’s festival, not ignite something real. In a town this small, the only thing hotter than gossip is the truth—and their showdown might just burn everything down.
LARK:
One minute I was hiding from my Chicago scandal at a quiet Montana lake, the next I was half of Wintervale’s hottest fake couple—all thanks to a shirtless lifeguard and one overzealous gossip blogger. I don’t do small-town charades, and I definitely don’t risk my hard-earned reputation for PR stunts. But Wade Foster? He’s making it real hard to remember why I built those walls in the first place.

WADE:
I figured Lark Hayes was just another big-city lawyer passing through—until I found myself fake-dating her to save both the Summer Splash Festival and my struggling water safety program. The plan was simple. Mutually beneficial. Temporary. But the more I chip away at her polished exterior, the more I want to dive deeper. Now the only thing hotter than this summer sun is the secret I’m not ready to admit: I think I’m falling for the one woman who’s bound to leave.
