She's sarcastic, blunt, and set in her ways, with a rule that her relationships are to be strictly no-strings-attached. But now, rather inconveniently, her best friend, Josie, is about to leave for several months, and she's pushing Ava to get out of her comfort zone and meet new people--though Ava's really not keen to shake up her life.\u003cbr\u003eThen the interminably cheerful and undeniably gorgeous Finn O'Callaghan rolls into her coffee shop with an unusual proposal: a strictly friends-only summer fling. Finn needs a local to help him complete his London bucket list before he moves away, and Ava needs to reassure Josie--and maybe herself--that she won't be lonely. Besides, it's only for a few months: What's the worst that could happen?\u003cbr\u003eBefore long, their mismatched friendship of convenience becomes more tolerable than Ava expected. As they work their way through Finn's list around the sun-drenched city, from rooftops and floating bars to nights at the museum, their adventures--and Finn's company--start to feel . . . \u003ci\u003enice\u003c\/i\u003e.
