THE FULL NOVEL PUBLISHED WORLD-WIDE FRIDAY, SEP 30 2022. A summer romance where enemies turn to lovers, and lies threaten to ruin everything. The last time Caroline saw Adam she threw her fist into his face, avenging her best friend's broken heart. The next time she meets him she has just boarded a last minute flight out of the country, and he's in the seat next to hers. A month spent together underneath the scorching sun leaves Caroline questioning if she had been wrong about the man she used to despise. Especially, when the line between love and hate begins to blur. But in her life nothing has ever lasted for too long; why should August be any exception? When Adam booked the trip it was with one goal in mind: To start over. Never in his wildest dreams did he consider his past would haunt him across oceans. Much less in the shape of the one woman who literally can not stand him, and makes it her mission to let him know. He has so many reasons why to stay away, yet finds himself falling anyway. Back home, Caroline's world collapses and she does everything in her power to forget about Adam and Greece entirely. Albeit, chasing away memories proves to be near impossible when the boy in them isn't settling for fading pictures - but wants August to last forever. . . . . . . . Praise for CHASING AUGUST: "This book is my new comfort book." - Wattpad reader "I couldn't stop reading! Very captivating, I definitely enjoyed this book and I LOVED the ending." - Wattpad reader "You made me feel everything." - Wattpad reader . . . . . . .

Dawson is- most people who don't know him would say- as straight as they come. And senior year away from home promises to be a big year for him: no parents in sight, a whole new set of friends, he just seems to have it all. Not to mention that all the pretty girls of the very private Wharton High are dying to get a taste of the new talk of the school. If only he could get Adam Hamilton's eyes out of his head. * "He dislikes him so much he is annoyed by the mere sound of his breathing. He dislikes him so much that he can't bring himself to ignore him; that even the way his stupid glasses perfectly sit on his symmetrical nose exasperates him; and his ridiculously blue eyes that take different shades of blue based on his mood and now Dawson knows that apathy is the ocean whereas rage is a starless night sky. And his jawline looks like it was sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, but he dislikes him so much he can't look at his face without feeling his cheeks flush in anger. Truth is, Dawson dislikes him because Hamilton did something that no other person- despite their best efforts- ever managed to do. He made him feel weak."

"How did we go from pretending we're in love, to you actually falling head over heels for me?" Cara cocked her head as she studied him. This boy will be the death of her. "W-whoa whoa whoa, head over heels?" Darius raised his hands in mock defeat. He was perfectly aware of how serious she was, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease her. "What do you see in me? Why are you so nice to me? Hell, I kicked you in the nuts." Cara pressed further. "Nobody should be this perfect," her voice lowered to a soft whisper. Darius took a step towards her, closing the distance between them. He tipped her chin up to meet her gaze. "Then I guess you haven't met the right person." "Until now." He pressed his lips to hers. It was an age old marriage of convenience between them - Darius Alexander Clemonte, the sexy, playful millionaire who has to shed his playboy image to protect his legacy; Cara Jefferson, the daughter of a struggling businessman who happened to be a convenient family friend of the Clemonte's. They should be opposed to the idea of each other... except Cara, the girl who doesn't believe in love, drives Darius wild. In a good way. WARNING: This story contains mature scenes.
