Co-owner of a successful Chatham boutique, friendly and popular Bella Costa seems to have it all… Except a real relationship. She has a rule against dating local boys, keeping her love life limited to summer flings. The only guy she truly cared about left the Cape and never looked back. Until this summer. Now he’s re-igniting all kinds of unresolved feelings. Will the past stand in their way, or can they bend the rules to find a future together?

Seems like a no-brainer. His specialty. Except… the more time they spend together, the more complicated their relationship gets.
