Tropical Crush

An all-new sun-soaked YA summer romance set on the white-sand beaches of Grand Cayman, from USA Today bestselling author Jillian Dodd.

Piper Quinn doesn’t do drama. She’s easygoing, low-maintenance, and never the center of attention. But with college looming and a guidance counselor calling her “uninspired,” Piper agrees to work at a family friend’s holistic retreat in the Cayman Islands. It’ll look good on paper, right?

She’s expecting awkward team meetings and maybe a few mosquito bites. She’s not expecting Kai Blake—retreat royalty, sun-kissed beach boy, and barefoot chaos incarnate. He calls her ‘clipper’ because of the clipboard she’s never without. She calls him a ‘barefoot disaster’. Their chemistry? Not chill.

And then there’s Margot Blake—the magnetic single mom who built the retreat from nothing and somehow has it all together. Her mentorship makes Piper wonder what it would mean to actually go after something.

Sunburns, stingray sandbars, and a heart on the line—this is the summer Piper learns that coasting isn’t the same as living. And falling—especially in love—might be the best kind of risk.
