Faye Maddison has every minute of her future mapped out. Harvard in the fall. The safe, practical future her mother sacrificed everything to give her. Getting accepted was supposed to prove it had all been worth it. But before she lets go of her dream of becoming an artist, Faye gives herself one last summer. One quiet summer in a weathered beach house on the Rhode Island coast, where she can paint again, breathe again, and maybe figure out who she is before she becomes the person everyone expects her to be. Then a single autocorrect mistake changes everything. Expecting to spend the summer renting from a woman named Alexa, Faye instead finds herself living with Alex Andrews - the mayor's reckless, rule-breaking son and exactly the kind of distraction she's spent her whole life avoiding. Alex is arrogant, infuriating, impossible to ignore, and far too good at getting under her skin. But somewhere between late-night conversations, spontaneous road trips, and the art she thought she'd left behind, Faye starts wanting things she never allowed herself to want before. And for the first time in her life, the future so carefully planned for her is no longer the life she actually wants. *** ~ Currently preparing for 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 (50,000+ words) Top Rankings: 3/13/26 #1 artschool #1 naromance #2 thebet #3 summerromance #3 masquerade #4 beach-house
