Longtime wallflower Summer York is suffering some major impostor syndrome. Not only is she leaving Ohio to start a flashy new job as an archivist at Grand Revel Library—a new feature in the famous Revel Pointe theme park—but she’s also suddenly in an unlikely love triangle. Her high school crush, Grainger McCloskey, and her new superior, James Reve are vying for her attention at every turn.

Summer must reconcile her guilt for leaving her provincial life and bereaved father while navigating Revel Pointe politics and the dynamics of her budding workplace romance. James Reve—the brilliant and moody architect behind the Grand Revel Library—makes Summer feel beautiful and capable. The more time she spends with James, the more possibilities she can see for herself. But, his life is complicated. With the library project in the balance and a looming Christmas deadline, will James become a beast under pressure? As Summer uncovers Reve family secrets James does not know, their future seems doomed.
