Rebel Summer

by Cindy Steel

Book 7 of the Falling for Summer series

Ivy expects to spend only a weekend in Sunset Harbor until one spectacular mistake leaves her sentenced to a summer of community service. Worse, the person she must repay is Dax Miller, the troublemaking man she once dismissed as someone who would never amount to anything. Working beside Dax to repair the damage forces Ivy to confront both their old chemistry and the carefully respectable identity she has built as a politician’s daughter. This closed-door summer romance pairs court-ordered proximity with banter, second impressions, and a heroine discovering that a little rebellion may be exactly what she needs.
