Summer People - Sally Blakely

One week. No drama. And absolutely no dating each other. n nAfter graduating college, five friends make a pact. Every summer, they'll meet for one week at the same beach house on the California coast to relive the golden days of college. There's just one rule: no dating within the group. n nSimple enough, except Everett and Sutton already broke the rule before summer even began... and couldn't seem to stop. What started as a one-time fling turned into an annual habit neither of them could quit, until the night everything fell apart. n nFive years later, Sutton has no interest in seeing Everett ever again. Until one of their friends, newly divorced and looking for an escape, calls everyone back to the beach house. She expects awkward silences and forced smiles, but nothing could prepare her for Everett--still infuriating, still magnetic, and still capable of unraveling her with a single glance. n nAs the week stretches on and every re-lived tradition, shared meal and outing bring a flood of sun-soaked memories that feed the spark between her and Everett, Sutton begins to wonder if the promise that broke them apart was worth keeping in the first place... and if breaking it again will ruin the delicate balance their friend group has finally started to reclaim. n
