An influencer on the run. A small-town bartender with no patience for pretenses. One unexpected love.

After a very public breakup shatters her perfectly curated image, influencer Izzie Montgomery escapes to her aunt’s seaside home to disappear from the spotlight. But hiding out in Gull Harbor comes with unexpected complications—starting with the grumpy, maddeningly handsome bar owner who mistakes her for his new bartender.

Sawyer Griffin wants nothing to do with influencers, glamour, or anything that smells like a staged photo op. He’s spent years keeping his world simple, honest, and firmly offline. But Izzie—messy, heartbroken, and shedding her old skin—upends every one of his rules.

What begins as a clash of worlds soon turns into something real. Something terrifying. Something neither of them expected.

But when old fears, online pressure, and a returning ex threaten the fragile connection they’re building, Izzie and Sawyer must decide:

Are their worlds too different to ever fit together?

Or is love the anchor strong enough to hold them both?
