A television star in hiding rediscovers his heart when he meets a neurodivergent woman in this heartfelt romance.
 
Reluctantly escaping LA after a scandal--hey, never sleep with the married ones--Ryan Lane needs something to keep his mind occupied. He shouldn't spend his time thinking about Jasmine, the (very married) woman of his dreams who has remained in Hollywood, trying to save her relationship with her hubby.
 
Enter the mysterious woman in the cafe up north in Seaside where Ryan's been staying. She's a little on the awkward side the first time they meet. Hell, she's a little on the awkward side the third time they meet. Yet there's something about her that keeps drawing him closer, even though she won't seem to let him in.
 
Nora's an emotional mess, a bundle of nerves--at any hour of any day. But especially when she meets the mysterious guy in the mask and bucket hat. She thinks he might be Ryan Lane, the celeb who got booed for wearing the other team's jersey at a game she once attended. Except, she can't bring herself to find out. Instead, they share a series of deep conversations, and then a slew of kisses in dark rooms, all without ever exchanging names.
 
It's the cruelest vow of all--that there will be nothing at the end of the summer, and they will each go their separate way. Except the summer nights grow shorter, and the kisses grow deeper. Eventually, neither one of them wants to let go.
 
When the masks are ripped off completely, Ryan and Nora will need to learn to let their guards down. Or everything that could have been will wind up on the cutting room floor.

Author Bio:
Rachel Radner is a former Pennsylvanian who will always miss Wawa.
She's been writing since the first grade when her teacher handed her a journal and instructed her to write about her day. From then on, she was always writing down the stories in her head.
After she graduated from Penn State in 2010, she spent time in NYC doing improv, acting for film, and performing in musical theatre. She participated in NaNoWriMo for the first time in 2012 and started what would become her first romance novel.
When she isn't writing and drinking coffee, she can be found geeking out about Star Wars or SNL, watching something from the Marvel universe, reading, or studying Latin and German.
She currently lives in Los Angeles, CA where she's also pursuing her dream of acting and filmmaking.
