She came for a quiet summer. He came with a megaphone.

Aspen Taylor just wants one peaceful vacation. No stress, no responsibilities—just sandy toes, salty air, and a good book in hand. But her plans for a low-key summer are completely derailed when she discovers her new beach neighbor: loud, infuriatingly charming, and way too easy on the eyes.

Enter Theo Carter—former high school troublemaker, now a viral prankster who’s turning their quiet beach town into his personal playground. Between his ridiculous beach games, spontaneous dance battles, and questionable fashion choices (seriously, who still wears neon board shorts?), Aspen is convinced he’s here to ruin her serenity.

But when a mix-up forces them to share the same rental for the summer, the line between annoyance and attraction starts to blur. And suddenly, lazy days turn into stolen glances, playful banter turns into something deeper, and Aspen finds herself wondering if maybe, just maybe, the best summer of her life is the one she didn’t plan.
