There are a lot of kinds of vacations---winter getaways, spring breaks in Cancun, weekend trips—all kinds of places to go and things to do. I’ll be honest. I LOVE vacationing. I love going new places, trying new things—meeting new people.

There is something to be said about going to new places. The summer before my senior year, I went to Italy with my parents. It was a crazy, insane trip. We started in Sicily, where we spent a few weeks before flying to Naples and taking a car up north. We hit all the major cities—Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice.

There was a lot to love about the trip—I was in Italy after all. I was seeing places literally thousands of years old—places until then I had only studied or written about. I loved it.

It’s easily one of the highlights of my travel life.

Then there are the trips that are like clockwork—the ones you take every year, on the same weekend. You go to the same places, you eat the same food, you see the same people. There is nothing new or exciting about them. We have two of those—every year, my husband’s family starts summer in Panama City Beach, and we end it there too. It’s always a good time—it’s relaxing and quiet, and I know exactly what to expect the entire time.

There’s pluses and minuses to both (yeah. I totally just said there are minuses to Euorpean vacations.) What I loved about the trip was how new and exciting it was, how amazing it was to be somewhere I’d never been.

I think Jamaica offered aspects of both. The stability of a familiar vacation and the newness of something you’ve never experience. I love both—if you had a choice, which would you take?

She wants a summer job and a ride to a wedding.
He wants an assistant and a distraction from the mess life his had become.
They didn't know they needed each other.

Avery Emili needs two grand. Two grand and a plane ticket--her sister is counting on her to get to Jamaica for her wedding. But the semester is over, and tutoring college freshman and high school students has dried up until the fall.

Atticus Grimes needs help--the messy split with his wife left the twenty-eight year old professor scrambling to keep things together as the semester winds down. Now he's got a research grant he has to actually do research for and all he wants to do is drown himself in a tall bottle of bourbon.

When Avery sees his ad for an assistant, all she's thinking is a summer job. But as they spend time together, in the office and out, both of them begin to realize something is there. Something that can't happen--he's a professor and she's a student. And both of them have histories, pasts that won’t let go.

Can two broken people pulled apart by expectations find a way to be whole?
