Rules For The Summer by Meghan Quinn

He clicked “yes” on a dare. She bought a failing candy shop. Now they’re neighbors for the summer—and neither is ready for what comes next. Renley Gossage has one shot to prove she’s more than Cape Meril’s favorite cautionary tale: restoring her beloved candy shop before the town writes her off the way it did her father. No help, no shortcuts, and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and complicating things. Theo Williams never planned on ending up in Cape Meril. A drunken game of truth or dare turned into a botched online engagement, and now he’s crossed an ocean to escape his father’s control—with nothing but designer shoes, misplaced confidence, and a rental next door to Renley. She’s practical, stubborn, and covered in paint. He’s posh, persistent, and even willing to pick up a sander if it means earning her trust. Between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbors, and the chaotic schemes of Renley’s aunt, their forced proximity begins to feel dangerously close to something real. Except Renley’s future depends on standing on her own two feet, and Theo’s past isn’t finished with him yet. By the time the candy shop doors reopen, they’ll have to decide if this is just a summer fling—or the happily ever after neither of them saw coming.
