Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn

Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn is a charming, feel good romantic comedy that blends humor, emotional growth, and undeniable chemistry. Renley Gossage is determined to rebuild her life and her reputation by restoring a struggling candy shop in her hometown. She’s done relying on anyone else, especially men who complicate things.

Then Theo Williams shows up next door. What started as a reckless dare has landed him in a completely different country, trying to escape expectations tied to wealth, status, and a future he never chose. He’s polished on the outside, a little lost underneath and surprisingly willing to roll up his sleeves if it means proving himself.

Thrown together by circumstance, the two clash, challenge, and slowly begin to understand each other. Between renovation disasters, small-town gossip, and moments that feel a little too real, their connection grows into something neither planned.

It’s a story about second chances, self-worth, and discovering that sometimes the messiest summers turn into the most meaningful ones.
