Leave it to Nana to think of everything.After a grueling semester, I'm ready for a peaceful summer in Seaside with my sisters.Imagine my surprise, when I'm woken by the screeching sound of a saw coming through my wall, the first official morning of break.Not only did I come flying out of bed swinging, but I gave Ryan, the unsuspecting carpenter the surprise of his life, when I came wielding my killer coat hanger and all.Too bad, I was only in a tank and undies and it wasn't nearly as effective as I'd hoped.Of course, he insists he's only doing his job. Since it's Nana's last request to care for us, I can't refuse.However, I won't let a tall, pesky, sexy as sin, know-it-all get in my way of my summer plans. I pretend I ignore him - that is until my youngest sister pokes her nose in my business and throws down a dare I can't back down from.Kiss the next single guy who walks up to the bonfire - or explain to my sisters why I get riled up over the contractor.When Ryan suddenly appears, I know I'm screwed in more ways than one.Not only will my sisters learn my secret, but from the determined look on Ryan's face, I'm afraid he's eager to reveal it to the world as well.What have I gotten myself into?As I walk toward him, one thing is certain - this summer dare will either make or break me.
