Ava Ingerson knows what she wants: the beautiful California beach house she just inherited, a career in teaching supplemented with income from her vacation guests, and a life full of friends, fun and familyright here in Seahaven, California. She's never moving again, no matter what, so when handsome entrepreneur Samuel Cross arrives to stay at her beach house for two weeks, Ava knows the last thing she should do is act on her attraction to him.
Ava isn't sure why she keeps coming to Sam's rescue, but she's having more fun than she's had in years as they explore all the area has to offerwith and without his friends. If she doesn't get her heart under control, she'll end up hurt all over again. After all, Sam has made it clear his home is in Chicago.
Sam knows his life is waiting for him in Illinois, including the big contract he's been working so hard to land, so why is he daydreaming about a life under the California sun? He needs to persuade Ava to come home with him. It's the only sensible thing to do.
But neither Ava nor Sam feel like being sensible anymore
