New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ginny Baird brings her signature charm to this captivating multicultural story about two feuding families sharing a beach house and the chaos that ensues when they fall in love with someone their families are determined to hate.

Busy flower shop manager Evita Machado can't wait to escape to the picturesque island of Nantucket. After a painful breakup, she hopes a relaxing vacation at the shore with her family, including her brothers and their families, will heal her broken heart. The vacation destination seems like a dream come true, with its charming rose-covered cottage and breathtaking ocean views. However, their peaceful retreat is soon disrupted when another group arrives at the cottage: the Hatfields.

Ryan Hatfield, Evita's former crush from high school, has returned to Nantucket with his parents. Their business rival moms had forbidden them from dating, and now, history professor Ryan is here for a week-long stay, courtesy of a society silent auction that his parents won. Unfortunately, a double-booking mistake has led to both families sharing the luxurious accommodations. Evita's mom is determined to stay, while Ryan's mom is equally adamant about leaving. Tensions rise as both sides struggle to assert their dominance, but they eventually reach a tepid agreement to divide the cozy space.

With the boisterous Machados bringing a lively spirit to the beach house and the strait-laced Hatfields attempting to maintain order, Evita and Ryan must navigate the delicate balance between keeping the peace and fostering a growing chemistry between them. As they spend more time together, they discover shared interests and a deep connection that challenges their families' beliefs and prejudices. Despite the obstacles, Evita and Ryan are determined to pursue their relationship and find happiness together, even if it means defying the expectations of those around them.
