for fans of THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY and WE WERE LIARS When Hanna Haddad embarks on what's supposed to be another uneventful summer as a lifeguard on Cape Cod, a trip to the past comes as an unnerving surprise. The discovery of her estranged mother's journal opens up the world of tragedy and deception underlying her parents' failed marriage, entangling her in a not-so-accidental romance along the way. Between uncovering ghosts from the past and realizing the control she holds over her future, Hanna finds herself questioning who she loves - and maybe more importantly - who she no longer does.

Nina Morrone has always dreamed of becoming an author of romantic comedies. After yet another query rejection hits her inbox, she finds herself wandering the aisles of a local bookstore, all but giving up on her childhood dream. On the edge of breaking, she gives into an intrusive thought of signing a book by her favorite author and runs into trouble when Bennett Jacobs, an old acquaintance of the novelist, spots her. Instead of ratting Nina out to the bookseller, he offers her a fresh, untrained pair of eyes on her manuscript, concluding it's missing all the humor and heart of a good romcom. To rectify this shortcoming, Nina engages in a series of lighthearted adventures with Bennett over the course of a month-not expecting to live out her own happily ever after in the end.

When Nan finds a boy washed up on the rocks, she discovers there are monsters not only in the deep but among us. This is my entry for the National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic contest.

One summer in Drift Cove. One chaotic share house. One guy she absolutely should not want. Lena came for cheap rent and a fresh start, not late-night swims, bar shifts, beer pong, stolen hoodies, and Jesse Hayes. He's easy-going, impossible to ignore, and very much claimed by Zara. Or at least, that's what she keeps saying. But in a house where everyone knows everything, stolen moments don't stay secret for long. Crossing Lines is a hot, messy summer romance about found family, bad decisions, and falling for the one person who was supposed to be off-limits.

What if one mistake, turns out to be the greatest thing that ever happens to you? Cassie Walker is a directioner with a secret, that secret being that she is a directioner.

Enemies to colleagues to neighbors to lov - absolutely not. Absolutely. Not. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Athena Rivera is a bedside nurse. Prejudiced against rich, privileged, and devilishly attractive guys, especially the one she's known half her life and sworn to hate ever since. Ivo Valerio is a surgical resident. Too prideful to ever admit nursing a crush, especially on someone he spent half his life pretending not to notice. The problem? Neither pride nor prejudice is enough to keep them apart. Not when they're assigned to work on the same floor of the same hospital. Not when he moves into the apartment right next door. And certainly not when every chaotic night shift, every accidental morning walk, and every paper-thin wall conspire against them. The truth they've been refusing to name is running out of places to hide. And the closer it gets . . . the more they have to lose.

[2025 Wattys Shortlist] After getting cut off by her wealthy, business-obsessed parents, Emily Grayson finds herself broke, stranded in a small town, and working at a boba café, something she never imagined in her wildest dreams. Her first days on the job are a disaster, her patience (and Jake Sherlind's) running thinner than the tapioca pearls she keeps burning. Jake, the charming yet hardworking guy with big dreams, has no patience for entitled rich girls who don't know how to hold a job. But when Emily starts proving him wrong, their tension brews into something neither of them expected. Between spilled drinks, late-night confessions, and an orange stray cat that won't leave the back door, Emily begins to wonder... maybe losing everything was exactly what she needed to find herself. A small-town rom-com about growth, second chances, and love that's better steeped with time.
