Quick-tempered Beatrice Bright has carved out a niche for herself as a reporter for the Paradise Post. Unfortunately, the biggest news in her tiny beach town is that her high school rival, Ben Constant, is moving back--and bringing his successful video game company with him. After Ben's arrogant re-entry into Paradise, Bea is convinced he hasn't changed for the better. She and Ben reignite their rivalry in the midst of parades, interviews, holiday parties, and hurricanes. Fed up with the years of romantic tension between them, their friends at the Paradise Motel try to trick them into revealing their feelings for each other. But when one of their friends is slandered, Bea and Ben must face up to their feelings and work together to reveal the truth.
