Rafe Cameron and Milana Thornton had always been at odds, their relationship defined by a shared resentment and a deep-seated dislike for one another.

In the wake of her heartbreak, Milana started attending parties where Rafe was also present. As they spent time together, they began to form an unexpected bond, slowly realizing that they were developing feelings for each other. This was particularly complicated for them, given their history of mutual hatred and the fact that Topper, Milana's protective older brother, had made it clear that his siblings were off-limits for Rafe. Navigating their growing attraction while dealing with their past animosities and Topper's disapproval proved to be a challenging journey. Ultimately, they discovered that love can flourish in the most unlikely circumstances, transforming their once tumultuous relationship into something genuine and profound.

Every summer, Catalina "Cat" Alvarez trades the sun-soaked streets of California for the salty air of the Outer Banks, where her family visits the Camerons - old friends from her mother's college days. The beach house on Figure Eight has always felt like a second home, a place of laughter, long tides, and barefoot memories shared with Rafe Cameron, the boy who knew her best. But this summer is different. Cat isn't just visiting - she's moving to the Outer Banks to attend the prestigious Coastal Arts Academy, where she's been accepted to pursue dance. Ballet, lyrical, hip-hop, modern jazz - movement is her language, her escape, the one place she can control the chaos inside her. Except now, even that feels uncertain. Rafe, once her anchor and partner in mischief, is colder than the Atlantic waves that crash against the shore. His laugh is sharper, his words sting harder, and his gaze - once warm - now hides something darker. He's changed, and Cat can't tell if he's pushing her away or daring her to stay. As summer heat builds, old feelings resurface - tangled between unspoken heartbreak, jealousy, and the fragile line between friendship and something more. But beneath the golden sunsets and perfect coastal days, secrets churn like undertow: Rafe's spiraling life, the Camerons' fractured family, and Cat's struggle to belong in a world split between two cultures, two homes, and two hearts. In a place where the tides pull hard and the past won't stay buried, Cat must decide whether to let go - or fight for the boy who's become a stranger under the Carolina sun. 2ND BOOK OF THIS SERIES IS OUT - The Summer He Changed: Three Years Later
