Zusammenfassung A glorious and tantalizing new summer hit from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune. They can't be together, but they can't stay apart. The first time Lucy and Felix meet, she is a tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. He is the local who shows her a very good night. She has no clue that he is her best friend's younger brother. Their chemistry is off the charts, but the list of reasons they can't be together is much longer. Every summer, Lucy visits the island with Bridget for a big breath of fresh air, to gorge on oysters and vinho verde, and to soak up sunny days on red sand beaches. And each year, she promises herself she won't end up in Felix's arms. It's easier said than done. With every furtive glance and electrifying touch, she becomes more entranced by this man who wears his heart on his sleeve even as he remains completely off-limits to her. What started as a one-time thing becomes six years of keeping secrets and telling lies-to her best friend, to Felix, to herself. That's why, last summer, she broke things off for good. When Bridget faces the biggest crisis of her life, Lucy knows she needs to take her back home. One last trip to the island. One last chance with Felix. But has she ruined everything before it can really begin?

Klappentext

From the million-copy #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After and Meet Me at the Lake, Carley Fortune returns with a glorious and tantalising new escape

Every summer forces Felix and Lucy to be together but they shouldn't be. Can they resist temptation?

'Crackling sexual tension' The Times

'Radiant' Emily Henry

This summer they'll keep their promise. This summer they won't give into temptation. This summer will be different.

The first time Lucy and Felix met she was on vacation on Prince Edward Island. And a tour of the beaches wasn't the only thing he showed her. But when she discovered his true identity as her best friend, Bridget's brother, their electric night should have become a distant memory...

Each year with Lucy and Bridget's return for a summer escape, she promises herself she won't end up in Felix's arms, but it's easier said than done.

Not this year though. This year it will be different. With Bridget facing the biggest crisis of her life, Lucy must join her for one last trip to the island.

But Felix's sparkling eyes and flirty quips have been replaced with something new, something more and Lucy's beginning to wonder just how safe her heart truly is.
