Summer sun glares on the coastal highway toward Cancún. Caleb rides in the car with his family—his mother Elena, his sister Lena, his brother Leo. Joining them are the Vances, Claire’s family, old childhood friends of Elena’s, with their kids Finn and Sienna. Last summer ended in a series of clashes that left Caleb and Sienna distant and tense. Now family obligation has thrown them together, sharing a beach house for the entire season. Despite the lingering resentment, Caleb can’t shake his attraction to her, secretly hoping this summer could turn them into more than just reluctant housemates.
