Faye Maddison gives herself one summer to discover who she is beyond the life her mother has spent years carefully planning. It was supposed to be one last chance to get art out of her system before Harvard, before medical school, and before the future her mother has already chosen for her. She never expected that search would lead her to a beach house in Rhode Island, or to Alex Andrews. The mayor's rebellious son is reckless, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. From the moment they meet, every conversation becomes a battle of sharp tongues and stubborn pride. Sharing a house with him should be unbearable. Instead, the line between hate and hunger begins to blur. As the weeks slip by, their rivalry gives way to late-night conversations, stolen moments, and a connection neither of them can deny. But Alex is hiding a secret beneath his charm, one powerful enough to destroy everything they've built. With Harvard waiting in the fall and her mother's future already mapped out, Faye is forced to choose between the life she's always been expected to live... Or risk everything for the life she's always wanted. *** ~ Submitted into the 2026 Wattys ~ You can expect: ✧ enemies to lovers ✧ forced proximity ✧ slow burn ✧ beach house romance ✧ tattooed bad boy ✧ mayor's son ✧ good girl x bad boy ✧ witty banter ✧ secret bet ✧ masquerade party ✧ art school vibes ✧ self-discovery ✧ betrayal & angst ✧ addictive summer romance (40,000+ words) Top Rankings: 3/13/26 #1 artschool #1 naromance #2 thebet #3 summerromance #3 masquerade #6 Art

♱ WHEN LOVE REFUSES TO STAY DEAD ♱ Felix Harper, an indie filmmaker with his career on the rise, has always processed grief through horror. His new project is no different: an intimate retelling of Dracula meant to exorcise feelings he'd prefer to see dead and buried. But in his search for the perfect lead actor, the person he's least expected to see again walks into the audition room. Raphael Montrose is Felix's ex-best friend, the person who once knew him better than anyone. The person he hasn't spoken to in years, not since Felix sacrificed their friendship in a desperate attempt to protect what he loved. The person who still makes Felix's heart beat in his throat. Casting him would go against any sort of common sense. But when it comes to Raphael, Felix has never had any. As the two navigate filming a potential cult classic and rebuilding the fragile trust between them, old feelings resurface and the lines between past and present, performance and reality begin to blur.

For readers who enjoyed If We Were Villains and The Picture of Dorian Gray, a gothic second chance/friends-to-lovers romance spanning years of yearning, tenderness, betrayal and artistic obsession. ♱ cover by the amazing @raizelrose3
