Lucas Carter comes home from college expecting a quiet summer in Carter Hollow. What he doesn't expect is Mason Hart.
Mason is hardworking, dependable, and impossible to ignore. He's also Lucas's sister's ex-boyfriend—a complication Lucas knows he should avoid. But between lakeside bonfires, county fairs, fishing trips, late-night conversations, and endless summer adventures, staying away becomes harder than either of them expected.
As friendship deepens into something neither planned for, Lucas finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about love, family, and the future.
In a small town where everyone knows your name, some feelings are impossible to keep hidden.
