Madeline "Murphy" Swan is back in Forks for one last wild summer before senior year of college-and she's not planning to spend it quietly. She's always been the loud one, the mess-maker, the party girl with paint on her jeans and trouble in her smile. But the boy she can't stop thinking about isn't just anyone: it's Sam Uley, La Push's golden boy, the one she's been trading late-night texts and secrets with since winter. This was supposed to be simple-one hot summer, no strings. Until Sam shows up on her doorstep, and something electric snaps the air between them. Now Sam is acting different, impossibly protective, and Murphy's not sure what's more dangerous: the way his eyes find her in a crowd, or the secrets he's hiding about the world they grew up in. With her twenty-first birthday on the horizon and the clock ticking down to August, Murphy's torn between the life she's built in Seattle and the wildfire thing sparking to life every time Sam looks at her. Add in a bickering little sister, a small town that never forgets, and a world where monsters and legends might be real, and Murphy's in over her head. This isn't Bella's story. Murphy's not waiting to be chosen-she's running straight at the storm, dragging Sam with her. And if fate wants a fight, she's not backing down.

some flames never meant to be lit still burn the longest. Rowan Carter isn't looking for forever. A nursing student from Seattle, she's just trying to survive her last semester of clinicals, pay rent on time, and avoid the kind of heartache she's seen hollow out the women in her family. Volunteering at the La Push community clinic was supposed to be simple-until a bonfire on the beach, two beers too many, and a beautiful boy named Sam Uley shifted something she didn't mean to feel. It was supposed to be casual. Uncomplicated. Quiet. Except Sam is already in a long-term relationship. One he never mentions. And two months later, Sam disappears-only to return changed, colder, sharper, eyes burning like something wild. When he sees her again, something in him snaps. Imprint. That's what they call it. Destiny, bonded souls, all that mythic, suffocating magic. But Rowan doesn't want fate. She wants the truth. Now caught between a love she didn't ask for, a betrayal she didn't cause, and a secret world she was never meant to see, Rowan has to decide: walk away, or burn in it. Tension-heavy. Elemental. Dangerous. A story about guilt, grief, and the slow, painful way we choose one another. This is not the imprint story you've read before. #1 vampiresandwerewolves 7/31/25 #4 jacobblack 7/30/25 #1 samuley 7/1/25
