Cruel Summer

Money could buy a lot of things, but happiness wasn't something that came with a price tag.Garrett Baxter grew up having everything handed to him. Literally. Coming from a family with money, and lots of it, there wasn't much he'd ever had to go without. If he wanted it, he got it, with little to no effort at all.Now that he's older, on the outside, he's as happy as can be, but on the inside, he's spiraling out of control. Fast. Because the one thing he's yearned for all his life, can't be bought.Happiness.In the blink of an eye, Bax's luck goes from good to bad, and he does the only thing he knows to do. He runs. Right into the arms of a beautiful young woman. There's more to Julie than just a pretty face, though. She sees Bax for the person he is, not for what he's worth.Sometimes, when it feels too good to be true, it usually is. Or is it?Can the spark that ignites between them withstand the storm? The storm that suddenly comes out of nowhere. Or will the storm push them away from something that feels so right?
