Book #1 of Kalehua Bay Sienna Hale has spent every summer traveling the world with her picture-perfect family. But when they arrive in the small Hawaiian town of Kalehua Bay, she's searching for something real, something that isn't staged for her mother's Instagram or planned down to the last detail. What she doesn't expect is Evander Sterling: a local who's spent his whole life in Kalehua Bay, a guy who knows every hidden spot and unspoken rule of the island. He's reckless, stubborn, and everything her parents would disapprove of. Evander has always disliked tourists who treat his home like a backdrop for their vacations, but there's something different about Sienna. Beneath her polished life, she's lost, craving a connection she's never had. Against his better judgment, he agrees to show her the real Hawaii, the one beyond the resorts and tourist traps. What begins as a simple challenge soon turns into something deeper, something Evander knows will only lead to heartbreak. Because summer always comes with an end. And when Sienna's time in Kalehua Bay is up, they'll have to decide if what they've found is worth the risk or if their worlds were never meant to cross.

"We never asked for this. Our lives were written by others, our hearts shackled to a contract neither of us wanted. But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember. The only reason I even tolerated her was because of her brother-my best friend. The one person I thought I could trust... until I learned I was never supposed to be his ally at all. Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.

↝ Eden Peirce No one tells you what it feels like to be trapped in your own thoughts constantly; it's just an endless spiral, falling and falling. Then when you feel like you're loosing your grip, someone is always there to catch you. He is there to catch me. ↝ Barney Sinclair I have been labelled as salt-lakes bad boy for as long as I can remember. Although my reputation follows me, it's never changed the way I've seen her. I've always seen her. Since the first day I lay eyes on her. She needed a saviour; I will be just that for her.

Julianna Sinclair has one goal: escape her family's suffocating grasp and the pain they've left her with. Ever since she was assaulted at sixteen, her life hasn't felt like her own. The invasion of her privacy didn't stop with the act-it lives on in the recording her attackers profit from. Even worse, her parents blame her. Labeled a disgrace, Julianna leans into the rumors, numbing herself with meaningless hookups, endless drinks, and late-night smokes. By eighteen, she's done playing nice and chooses the one job her family would never approve of-stripping. Between the club and her OnlyFans account, she's finally starting to reclaim her independence, even if her peace is fragile and hard-won. But Gabriella changes everything. When the bright-eyed college senior stumbles into the club for her 21st birthday, she's instantly drawn to Julianna-and refuses to let her walls stand in the way. Julianna doesn't do romance. Love feels like a risk she can't afford. Yet Gabby's warmth and persistence might be the very thing that forces Julianna to confront her pain, heal her scars, and realize that maybe, just maybe, she's still capable of love after all.
