Caring for someone is reckless. Love isn't patient, it doesn't listen for explanations. Anyone can twist it to suit themselves. Anyone can be selfish. Anyone can lie. Anyone can pretend.
Valerie O'Conner is expecting nothing new this Summer break. In fact, it's likely to go exactly accordingly to her plans: sunbathing, working at the local ice cream parlor and daydreaming about a world where golden boy Logan Mathews doesn't get his way. But the last thing on her mind is another summer love story.
Alastair Sullivan has different plans. When his family decides to visit the sleepy tourist town of Sandy Cove, he intends on getting up to as much mischief as possible. Including helping the town cynic find love.
When Valerie's life is turned upside down by a series of promises, she's forced to battle with what she really believes in. A story of personal growth, conflicting feelings and a whole lot of romance.

Hi there!
Thank you for giving this work a shot. This story means so much to me, I grew up with it as I re-wrote different versions of it throughout my teenage years. I hope you enjoy, and I encourage you to give me any feedback or thoughts you have along the way.
This was my first story on wattpad. My writing has improved so much from here, and while the writing isn't terrible (spelling and grammar should be up to scratch), it took me a long time to get into the habit of sticking to past tense. So there's a lot of tense slips. It's a little cringe. I'll edit it all one day, but for now just bear with me!
