**I am going to leave the full story up until end of November, then I will remove most parts so that this story can be edited. There will be changes to the storyline in the edit.** When Everleigh agrees to spend the summer with her friend Amelia at her family's lake house, she expects lazy days, deep talks, and maybe a chance to escape her hectic city life now that school was out for the summer. What she doesn't expect is Asher - Amelia's older brother. Brooding, clever, and surprisingly charming, Asher is nothing like Everleigh is used to. And neither of them can ignore the undeniable spark that ignites when they meet. As Everleigh and Asher begin to explore their connection, drawn together by quiet conversations and electric glances, their growing bond is tested by more than just their own doubts. Lurking in the background is Casey, a long-time family friend with a crush on Asher and one of Ashers best friends. With a knack for manipulation. Casey isn't ready to let Asher go without a fight-and she'll do anything to drive a wedge between him and Everleigh, even if it means turning Amelia against her. Love, loyalty, and secrets collide in this emotionally charged summer romance. Can Everleigh and Asher hold on to what they're building-or will someone else's obsession shatter their chance at happiness?
