Rules for the Summer by Megan Quinn

A reckless dare sends Theo Williams to Cape Meril with an accidental engagement and nowhere else to go. Next door, Renley Gossage is fighting to restore a failing candy shop and prove she’s nothing like the town’s expectations for her.

Thrown together as neighbors for the summer, the practical shop owner and the wealthy, out-of-place stranger clash over paint, repairs, and pride. But as the shop slowly comes back to life, so does the connection between them.

With pasts they can’t outrun and futures pulling them in different directions, they’ll have to decide if what’s growing between them is just temporary—or something worth staying for.
