When Farrah tells her three closest friends that they should all take off to a small town in Maine for a month, they have no idea how it’s going to work. But Farrah doesn’t like taking no for an answer, so soon all four of them are staying together in a cottage near the beach. It’s everything Farrah needs to get away from her life, which has been a little rocky as of late. At least she has her best friend, Spencer, to lean on. The two of them were high school sweethearts who went their separate ways for years before ending up in the same city again and reconnecting as friends. Only friends. Well, except for that one steamy night when they had a few too many drinks and one thing led to another… The one night that would change everything.

Colette had zero intention of ever going back to her tiny hometown in Maine, until her friend Farrah proposes a month-long vacation—and Farrah is a hard person to say no to. All Collette needs to do is keep her head down and avoid as many people as possible. It’s all going well until she runs into her high school ex’s little sister, Quinn, who isn’t so little anymore. Even though Colette has an instant attraction to her, where would it even go? Quinn is settled in Castleton and Colette is only there for a few weeks. Quinn can’t believe that Colette is back in town. She’d had the biggest crush on her older sister’s girlfriend back in the day and now they’re both grown, and Colette looks better than ever. She can’t believe it when Colette shows interest in her and they end up falling into bed together, but Colette insists it’s a one-time thing and will not be repeated. Except that it happens again. And again. And again…

Hope has been loving her summer vacation in Castleton, Maine with her friends. There’s just one little snag, and her name is Saylor Madigan, the former actress turned writer and podcaster that Hope had a massive crush on when she was younger. Hope’s only goal is to get Saylor to agree to let Hope ghostwrite her memoir. The first time she dares to approach Saylor, things go badly. Very badly. But Hope isn’t the kind of woman who gives up that easily. All Saylor wants to do is hang out in a small town where people don’t care so much who she is, and so far, Castleton has fit the bill. That is, until an adorable woman approaches her in the bar and wants to help Saylor write a memoir, something she absolutely does NOT want to do. Still, Hope is persistent and there’s something about her unfailing optimism that Saylor just can’t get enough of. That attraction lands Saylor in Hope’s bed one night, much to both of their shock. Sex is a complication that neither of them need, but they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other, so they agree not to let themselves get carried away again. That turns out to be a promise that neither of them can keep.
