The book is always better than the movie. But occasionally, life is better than the book.

Ten years ago I made a mortifying, life-altering mistake. Now, this once seemingly insignificant choice is threatening to wreck my entire existence. And possibly throw Tristan Palmer-my next-door-neighbor and the guy I've had a secret crush on for the entirety of my life-into the fray unaware.
*
The mistake?
*
I am Sunny Palmer. As in the anonymous, best-selling author of over a dozen beloved romances and renowned thief of Tristan's last name. Okay, not renowned yet, thank the high heavens! But that news will spread like wildfire if people discover that this introverted book nerd is the woman behind the pen name. And the fact that my first book, Secret Crush, is Tristan's and my fictionalized love story leaves zero room for calling it anything but what it is-a travesty of greatest proportions.
*
That's why NO ONE can know! Ever!
*
So it's wretched luck that when I finally visit Sunset Harbor, the small-town island where I grew up, I run into the still heart-stopping, book-boyfriend-worthy man himself. And shockingly, Tristan seems intent on reminding me what the island has to offer. Because that's what friends do.
*
Logic demands I resist his charm and guard my secret at all costs, which is why it's vastly unfortunate that Tristan Palmer was and always will be ... my greatest weakness.
