Beach Read by Emily Henry

A blocked romance author and her brooding literary rival spend a summer in neighboring beach houses and make a pact to swap genres—she’ll write something tragic, he’ll write something happy. But as research outings turn into sparks and creative boundaries blur, their deal to avoid falling in love becomes the one plot twist neither of them can control.

A reluctant black-sheep daughter returns to her family’s private island for her father’s funeral, only to discover he’s left behind a twisted inheritance game that forces his heirs to stay together for a week and complete humiliating tasks.
