Ulla Sensson has just turned over a new leaf in her life. She's given up her punk rock aspirations, has gotten a job as a low level editor in a publishing house, and is secretly harbouring the hope to see her own novel in print someday. When her boss, the publishing mogul John Holyoake, asks her to help his younger brother with his book, Ulla is hardly thrilled, but agrees nonetheless. Instead of a spotty teenager and a 'George R.R. Martin wannabe,' Ulla is presented with the most good-looking, well-mannered, and considerate man she's ever encountered in her life. So, where's the catch? He can't possibly be that perfect - and what is this weird feeling she's getting? Good thing, Ulla is over dating, romance, and even simple one-offs, otherwise being stuck with this specimen in a tiny cottage might become awkward - considering she keeps making one wrong assumption about him after another!

Aditi and West hate each other. They bicker, they flirt, and are possibly a little in love. Blotching the hot new guy's shirt with chocolate-mixed spit is probably not the best idea of a revenge, but Aditi soon discovers that she doesn't regret it one bit. Because despite being a jerk, West too knows what it's like to be brown, Muslim and falling apart in an all-white high school, and when he gets entangled in Aditi's struggle to tackle a debilitating trauma and a really, really loud Bangladeshi wedding, the fledgeling love-hate relationship will leave her either healed or heartbroken. Or pretty dead, because an outbreak of crimes is gripping her quaint little town in fear, and the gorgeous flirt she's falling for has his fair share of ugly secrets. - FEATURED BY @Wattpad: Summer days, summer love; Community Curator: @grendelthegood; Summer loving days THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND DOESN'T INTEND TO OFFEND.
