Publisher Description

A great escape and guilty pleasure, I devoured this delicious book with a hunger for more along with hope for a happy ending.

The girl next door is more than she seems…. Gabriel Walker is bored out of his mind. Spending the summer with his screwed up family has left him in dire need of a distraction.. Or an adventure.

He finds both closer than he expected—in his gorgeous new neighbor.. The spark between them is instant. Electric. Soon they’re spending every stolen minute together. It’s the perfect summer fling..

Lucy is keeping a secret. She isn’t the girl next door—she’s the help who’s been hired to house sit for the summer.. She’s a nobody.. If Gabe wants to believe she’s a spoiled rich girl looking for some fun, she can play along with this game. What’s the harm in it?.

What they didn’t count on was running into each other at college.. Now Lucy must keep up the pretense of being a rich girl—and it’s exhausting. She knows she’s falling in love with Gabe and she’s terrified he feels the same. Will he stay with her when her secret comes into the light?
