About Rules for the Summer
Renley Gossage moves to Cape Meril determined to restore a struggling candy shop without shortcuts, outside help or a rich man swooping in to save her. Then Theo Williams, who is trying to escape his own wealthy family's influence, rents next door. As the practical shop owner and her persistent neighbour work side by side, forced proximity starts challenging both of their plans.
