Bree Robinson is perfectly content with her safe, quiet life--she'd much rather leave rocking the boat to her bold best friend, Jill Kelly. But after a cancer scare, Bree decides to give swimming outside of her comfort zone a try. Together with Jill, she forms an anti-bucket list--starting with a steamy fling. Only her one-night stand happens to be Chance Elliston, the architect she's just hired to renovate her house.

In the spirit of her new start on life, Bree agrees to a friends-with-benefits relationship with the charming, handsome Chance. And soon she's diving headfirst into more adventures: adopting a dog, dreaming about buying the local inn . . . and even falling in love. But Chance's stay in Cranberry Cove is temporary--his job designing skyscrapers back in the city awaits. Can Bree and Chance build a new life together--or will she just be left with memories of the summer of a lifetime?
