For Samantha Gale, a summer on Martha\u2019s Vineyard at her family\u2019s tiny cottage was supposed to be about resurrecting her career as a chef, until she\u2019s tasked with chaperoning her half-brother, Tyler. The teenage brainiac is spending his summer at the local library in a robotics competition, and there\u2019s no place Sam, who has dyslexia, likes less than the library. And because the universe hates her, the library\u2019s interim director turns out to be the hot-reader guy whose book she accidentally destroyed on the ferry ride to the island.<\/p>\n
Bennett Reynolds is on a quest to find his father, whose identity he\u2019s never known.

Yet as soon as Sam knocks his book into the ocean, he can\u2019t stop thinking about her.<\/p>\n
An irresistible attraction blossoms when Ben inspires Sam to create the cookbook she\u2019s always dreamed about and she jumps all in on helping him find his father, and soon they realize their summer fling may heat up into a happily ever after.<\/p>\n
