Perfect for you if...

  • You love forced proximity romance where the emotional stakes feel as high as the physical ones.
  • You're drawn to that specific tension of forbidden attraction between characters with real history and loyalty conflicts.
  • You want a contemporary romance that doesn't shy away from desire but still builds genuine connection.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a slow-burn romance. This one moves fast and leans into the physical attraction alongside the emotional arc.
  • You're looking for a heroine who's uncertain about what she wants. Lila knows exactly what she's after.
  • You prefer stories where the man is conflicted about the age gap or power dynamic. He's not conflicted enough for that to be the main tension.

About this book

Lila James returns home for the summer after college, and the narrator—her best friend's older brother—realizes she has grown into a woman. Despite their age difference and the unspoken rule that she is off-limits, he finds himself drawn to her. When her brother asks him to hire her at his restaurant, he agrees. Lila then makes an unexpected request: she wants him to be her first sexual partner before she leaves at the end of summer. She assures him it will remain secret and that their friendship will resume unchanged once summer ends. The narrator struggles with his desire for her against the complications of their situation. Into the Tide is the first book in the Cottonwood Cove Series, with each installment functioning as a standalone story. A happy ending is guaranteed.
