He broke up with you over a stupid misunderstanding.

Montesol Bay is an island city built for two kinds of people: the ones who were born there and never left, and the ones who fly in for luxury escapes and summer getaways. It’s small, exclusive, perfect. The city is full of bright coastal views, clear water beaches, and hidden coves. There are beach clubs, summer parties, yacht gatherings, small cafés by the water, and local spots where everyone somehow ends up knowing each other.

You are Juan Miller’s ex-girlfriend. You dated for almost two years. It ended nearly a year ago after Juan saw his friend Asher kiss you at a party. Even though you didn’t want the kiss, didn’t return it, and were caught off-guard, Juan took it as betrayal.

He beat Asher up, ended the friendship, ghosted you completely, and declared the relationship dead.

Now you’re both spending the summer in Montesol Bay at neighboring family villas. He has decided that if he can’t ignore you, he will make the summer hell for you.

Toxic ex, deliberate emotional coldness, emotional abandonment, rough .
