The story of one summer

THEY DECIDE TO GO ON FOUR DATES,

KISS… AND SAY GOODBYE.

Justin is cursed. Every woman he’s ever dated has found her soulmate right after breaking up with him. He shares this on social media, and one day Emma, who has the same problem, gets in touch. Together, they come up with an unconventional solution: they’ll date for a while and then break up. Their curses will cancel each other out, and they’ll both find the love of their lives shortly after. It sounds like a crazy idea… but it just might work.

Emma is a travelling nurse and never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that her next stop would be Minnesota. However, she and her best friend Maddy agree that the opportunity to date Justin is too tempting for Emma to pass up. Especially when they get the chance to rent a beautiful cottage on a romantic island on Lake Minnetonka.

It's supposed to be just a fleeting summer fling. But when Emma’s troubled mother shows up and Justin has to take care of his three younger siblings, they suddenly have a lot more to deal with than they first thought – including falling in love with each other. What if this time, fate has actually brought together the perfect couple?
