A friends-to-lovers romance filled with family shenanigans, new friendships, and island breezes to keep things cool when the chemistry heats up! Emily Evans knows better than to date a guy like Lucas Edwards. He's cocky, arrogant, and way too good-looking for words. He's completely indecisive, a player, and can't even keep his houseplants alive. So, she very clearly puts him in the friend zone where he belongs. And their friendship comes on strong. She loves nothing more than hanging out with Lucas, bickering over what show to watch or where to eat, and daydreaming where their next un-date will be. She's never had such an amazing friendship before and can't imagine not having him in her life. Except for that tiny problem of putting him in the friend zone, things are going great. Lucas Edwards fell hard for Emily the moment she opened her mouth and chewed out his cousin. No one ever did that, and he loved every second of it. Since that moment, he's been following her around like a lost puppy dog even though she very clearly put him in the platonic wasteland. He starts to wonder if those sparks that he's feeling are real or just wishful thinking. But when she insists that he goes out on a date with a girl that asks him out, he realizes this might change everything, and it might not be the way either expected.
