Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn

They set rules for the summer - and broke every single one. Dive into this addictive Friends to Lovers romance featuring forced proximity and an enemies-to-lovers dynamic, perfect for readers who love high-stakes deals and unexpected chemistry.

Renley Gossage is focused on her struggling candy shop in Cape Meril, determined to succeed without shortcuts or interference from wealthy men. Her plans are interrupted when Theo Williams arrives with a shiny diamond and a marriage proposal—which is actually a business proposal. Theo needs a wife to secure his inheritance, and Renley needs a financial backer for her shop. The deal involves one fake engagement, one summer, and zero romance.

However, forced proximity, collapsing drywall, and gossiping neighbors quickly turn their arrangement into something dangerously close to real. As Renley struggles with accepting help and Theo faces complications from his past, they must decide if their summer fling can become a happily ever after worth breaking all their rules for.
