About this book

When Bailey reconnects with Charlie at their new summer job at a waterpark, their instant chemistry surprises them both—especially since they couldn't stand each other when they first met a year ago. They make a bet about whether two coworkers will actually become a couple, but the real spark ignites between them when they agree to fake date to handle some awkward family situations. As real feelings develop and the line between pretend and genuine blurs, Charlie finds himself caught between his growing love for Bailey and a secret from their past that could change everything. With humor, heat, and genuine emotion, this enemies-to-lovers story explores whether some connections are worth the risk, even when the truth might hurt.
