She's trying to make ends meet and stay out of the spotlight, which is pretty much impossible when someone starts a relationship with one of the Addlers...

He signs up for the introductory cooking class, thinking it will be a huge waste of time. Then he meets Cassandra Caldwell, and everything changes. Cassie wants one thing: to keep her twin brothers safe. After her mother's death, she took them in and relocated to Forbidden Lake, where she's done whatever she could to keep them off the radar of their convict father. She doesn't want to risk her family and career, but the more time she spends with Jon, the more she wonders if he's worth the risk. They agree to keep their budding romance under wraps, especially once Cassie gets notified that she's up for a promotion at the college that would allow her to give up her second job. As she and Jon carry on their relationship behind closed doors, he falls harder and harder for her. But she can't really commit to a relationship when she has emergency escape bags packed and in the trunk of her car. Can Jon convince her Forbidden Lake is safe and to stay with him? Or will she run again, shattering her heart—and his—in the process?

When her ex-boyfriend chases her through his neck of the woods one night, she ends up at Phoenix's house, in desperate need of help. He takes her in, the flame between them as hot as ever. But it's different now. He's...nice. Kind. Hard-working. And did she mention gorgeous? The longer she stays in his remote cabin by the creek, the less she wants to leave.

But he's back in Forbidden Lake, and Mia has some very grown-up decisions to make... Mia Addler has always conformed to family expectations. So when her father declares rockstar Declan Phelps too old for her, she breaks up with him and tries to find a way to enjoy her summer.

Declan has traveled the world as a rockstar, earning more money than should be legal and doing everything he wants. When his sister dies, he cleans up his act and starts putting his money toward good causes. So when he meets Mia Addler, they couldn't be more opposite, but they have the same values and goals—to help others. Mia learns he has a crazy fan stalking him and devises a plan to sign him as a client. That way, if her father finds out she's been seeing Declan again, she'll have attorney-client privilege and not have to say what they talk about or what they do. Declan readily agrees, and then he and Mia fly off on their first date. While they're gone, her family has a tragedy. She regrets being gone for it, and she can't tell anyone she was with her secret boyfriend. As she struggles to balance her family crisis with Declan and their forbidden relationship, Declan feels her slipping further and further from him.
