After I won a TV singing competition and my ex publicly humiliated me to get ahead, I needed to escape reality.
Sure, breaking into an old friend’s beachside cottage wasn’t my best idea, but what’s a girl to do?

Soon enough, we’re living in our own fairy tale bubble, talking and sharing everything—just not the truth.
As the lazy days of summer stretch on, I begin to believe we might be the only real thing in a world full of lies.
Until his past catches up to him.
