WE FEEL THE SAME
During a sun-soaked summer at the Olson-Miller family's beach house, 18-year-old Amelia finds herself looking forward to peaceful days with her sister Elise before college resumes. But everything shifts when Elise's boyfriend, James, announces he's bringing along his best friend-Tristan Jackson, the famously charming quarterback. Tristan expects another typical hangout, but the moment he steps into the beach house and locks eyes with Amelia, something changes. Captivated by her quiet confidence and natural beauty, he feels something unfamiliar-an emotion deeper than attraction, something he's never truly experienced: love at first sight. But Tristan doesn't recognize it yet, confused by the feelings Amelia stirs in him. Amelia, on the other hand, remains unimpressed by his reputation or good looks. She's heard the stories. But as days pass and they spend more time together-bonfires, beach walks, late-night talks-she begins to see a different side of him: thoughtful, vulnerable, and surprisingly sincere. With Elise watching protectively, summer becomes a season of unexpected emotions, inner conflict, and the first stirrings of something real. As Tristan tries to understand the pull he feels toward Amelia, she must decide if she's willing to risk her heart on someone who's still discovering his own. This summer may have started as a break, but for Amelia and Tristan, it could be the beginning of everything.

He was standing in front of the bleachers with Hendricks and a few other guys, talking to Genny. Jack was staring at me, as soon as I turned he flipped his head the other way. But it was too late. "Jack, right?" I said, smiling and getting his attention. "Yeah. You're Katiya, Kate." He gave me a dazzling smile. It made me smile back at him. "I mean, most people just pick one of the options, not both." He chuckled a little and took a step towards me. "Both is good. Who are you here to see?" He asked, looking around, and past me. "Nobody in particular." I seemed to say easily, even though I was in fact, here to watch Jason and my dad. "I mean, everyone. I know a lot of people. Small town." I tried to correct myself immediately, and I noticed Hannah holding back laughter as I stumbled on my words. "Gotcha." He said, still smiling wide and taking a glance back at the field. "Good to see you again, Katiya Kate." This time he said it as if it were one word. It made me smile on the inside. He turned and jogged back towards his team. I was such an idiot.Complete

Will that be enough to keep her from falling in love? "Someone knocked into Abby from behind. She lurched forward against the guy's chest, crushing her cup against his abs and splashing the remains of her soda all over both of them. "Gah!" he shouted in surprise. He had instinctively grabbed her upper arms to steady her when she ran into him, but pushed her away slightly when he felt the soda soaking his shirt. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry," she gasped. He stood there with his arms out looking down at the mess on his shirt. Then he looked at the matching stain on her shirt and his lips twitched like he was suppressing a smile. He cleared his throat. "It's okay," he said. There was laughter in his voice. She noticed that his eyes seemed to be glued to her shirt, and she looked down. Abby gasped again. Her light pink tank was nearly see through now that it was wet." Check out Pinterest for my inspiration board for Summer Fling: www.pinterest.com/jericamacmillan/summer-flingComplete
