Seventeen-year-old Mia Brennan thought she had her life sorted—until her boyfriend of two years cheated on her with her best mate. Gutted and struggling to trust anyone, she escapes to her grandmother's cottage in a small Cornish seaside town for the summer, hoping the distance will help her heal.
What she doesn't expect is Finn Calloway—the brooding local surfer who works at the harbour café and seems determined to get under her skin. He's got his own scars, having lost his mum two years ago and barely keeping his family's struggling boat repair business afloat whilst caring for his younger sister.
As Mia and Finn are thrown together through a community project to save the town's historic lighthouse, they begin to realise that sometimes the person who challenges you the most is exactly who you need. But when Mia's ex shows up begging for another chance, she'll have to decide whether she's brave enough to risk her heart again—and whether healing means going back to what's familiar or stepping into something entirely new.
