Irresistible — Christina Cole

Forced to give up her dream of attending art school, Rise Childers lost the ability to see beauty and joy in the world. In hopes of re-igniting Rise's passion for art, her good friend, Lorraine Conway, invites her to spend a summer at a resort in the Hudson Valley. Lorraine is accompanying her cousin, Amelia, who plans to marry Samuel Mills, the resort's handsome young owner. Samuel has no such plans. He knows he should set the annoying Amelia straight, but he's not good at confrontation. Not wanting to hurt her, he resolves to avoid her. But he can't stay away from the dark-haired beauty who's come to Lindenhurst with Amelia and Lorraine. While Amelia chases Samuel, he's chasing Rise, and it's not long before they're all caught up in a summer of mayhem and madness. Samuel dares Rise to dream again, but can she believe his words of love?
