Tropes: Contemporary Romance, Friends to Lovers, 

When a rekindled bond, treasured memories, and undeniable chemistry unite, can they heal the missed chances of yesterday?As the sun awakens their sleepy beachside town, Jack Grant, a talented and charming Australian footballer, returns home with hopes of escaping the weight of remorse after a turbulent season. Hoping to heal, rest, and rediscover himself in the place that has always brought him peace, the last thing he expects is to ignite the embers of a long-buried connection with his childhood best friend – the one he's never been able to forget, no matter how far out of reach she’s always seemed.

Winter Lennox has never ventured far from the picturesque town of Willow Bay, dedicating her days to writing and merely dreaming of a bigger life while secretly harbouring feelings for the one person who has never let her down. Not wanting to hold him back, she has watched from afar as he chased his dreams of glory, but now, as they share a hot, sultry summer together, the silent bond between them emerges, and she recognises this might be her final opportunity to discover what could be.

As spicy sparks fly, will The King of Jokers trust himself enough to realise that the best game plan is to take a chance and embrace what has always been within his reach?
