Love is not something Abby Steele is interested in. The only love she wants is the kind she can write about in her romance novels. But Abby’s best friend doesn’t take no for an answer, so Abby goes on one last blind date. That blind date happens to be Ben Richards, the hot Hollywood it-guy who starred in the viral movie about a wave of deadly hurricanes.

Abby doesn’t think they’ll have anything in common, but she finds herself instantly intrigued by how down-to-earth Ben is. They spend their first date laughing, crushing it at corn hole, and trying to divert the advances of several frenzied women. Their connection deepens when Abby discovers that Ben is a massive fan of her latest novel. They spend the rest of the summer falling in love, spending every moment together, and not discussing the future. At the end of the summer, Ben jets off to do the press tour for another movie. Abby doesn’t expect him to leave her heart in pieces as he promptly ghosts her. Hard.

Two years later, Abby’s book is becoming a movie and Ben is the director. She has a plan to keep her heart from getting broken again:

1. Don’t look him in the eyes

2. Keep your emotions calm

3. Don’t let him anywhere near your heart

But it becomes clear that Abby needs to tighten up her rules because she can’t seem to ignore the pull Ben has on her. Can Abby find a way to protect her heart, or is it worth risking it all again for a once-in-a-lifetime love?
