In book 2, Ruby's finished her first year at law school and is once again heading back up to Bluff's Cove on Cape Cod to work at the infamous beach bar The Hut. But everything she thinks she knows for sure has changed. She hasn't heard from her boyfriend Cooper for months, not since she was unable to join him as he went overseas to master his beer making methods with a professional brewer. Even worse -- Ruby's seen pictures of him on social media with his arms around another woman. Apprehensive about seeing him again, Ruby braces herself for their inevitable reunion, yet nothing could possibly prepare her for what would happen next. Cooper still wants her, but that other woman? The professional beer brewer he'd studied with abroad? She's coming stateside to live in Cooper's house for the summer as well. It's most certainly a recipe for disaster, one that Ruby finds herself ill-prepared to handle. Then just when she thinks she's got it covered, another bombshell hits. Terry, Ruby's boss at the Hut is about to lose the bar for good. All of Ruby's friends work there; they rely on the income from the short season to keep them afloat during the long winter. Can Ruby use her limited knowledge of the law to save the beloved beach bar? As she races the clock to save the Hut, Ruby puts it all on the line. Her heart. Her home. Her future. Will she make it there with Cooper's love intact? Or will she lose everything she cherishes before summer's end?
