Saving Hadley

If suntans, saltwater, and a stubbornly cute guy can't save Hadley's summer, nothing will.

Hadley Parrish is having the worst luck ever. Her boyfriend dumped her for social media fame, her stepsister got into Harvard the day Hadley failed chemistry, and now she's been blamed for a crime she didn't do. As punishment, she's sent to Sterling Beach for the summer to learn some "work ethic" and "manners" from her grumpy grandfather who she barely knows.

The beautiful beach is no match for Hadley's epically bad mood, and she's determined to spend every second of the summer locked in her room brooding. Her grandfather's only rule is that she has to come out once a week, for Friday night poker. Hadley wants to protest, but then she meets her grandfather's favorite poker player, Jeremy, the unbelievably cute guy who lives next door. Jeremy sees things differently after being granted a miraculous second chance at life. He's not about to let Hadley's bad mood ruin the best years of her life. In fact, he's going to make it his mission to save her this summer. Even if it's the hardest thing he'll ever do.
