Synopsis
When her best friend and roommate Desiree moves away, falls in love, and opens an inn all in one whirlwind summer, yoga teacher Emery Andrews feels the absence like a missing limb. A holiday visit to Cape Cod shifts things: there she meets Dean Masters, as easy on the eyes as he is to talk to, and an unexpected friendship grows over months of video chats and late-night calls. When Desiree offers her a yoga-teaching job at the inn in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, Emery leaps at the fresh start, unaware that Dean has quietly been hoping for far more than friendship. Newly resolved not to date anyone in her circle, Emery is oblivious to the sparks he feels. Then she arrives at her new home, finds a naked man in her kitchen, and Dean offers her his guest room, certain that living under one roof will finally help her see what has been right in front of her. But a date already on Emery's calendar threatens to complicate everything. Over a Cape Cod summer, two best friends navigate the delicate, funny, high-stakes leap from friendship into something more.
