Love is everything but expected.
Eden Munro came to California for a summer of sun, sand and celebrities - what better way to be a regular girl and forget about the drama back home? Until she meets her new family of strangers: a dad she hasn't seen in three years, a stepmonster and three stepbrothers.
Eden gets her own room in her dad's fancy house in Santa Monica. A room right next door to her oldest stepbrother, Tyler Bruce. Whom she cannot stand. He's got angry green eyes and ego bigger than a Beverly Hills mansion. She's never felt such intense dislike for someone. But the two are constantly thrown together as his group of friends pull her into their world of rule-breaking, partying and pier-hanging.
And the more she tries to understand what makes Tyler burn hotter than the California sun, the more Eden finds herself falling for the one person she shouldn't...
Books in the Did I Mention I Love You series:
- Did I Mention I Love You?
- Did I Mention I Need You?
- Did I Mention I Miss You?
- Just Don't Mention It--The companion novel that tells Tyler's story
