Summer Love

"You had me at hello."

"Okay, Jerry Maguire."

"No?"

"Nope."

"Fine.
You're the peanut to my butter.
The ocean to my wave.
The music to my ears.
The beat to my heart.
The cheese to my macaroni?"

"You had me at cheese."

Pierce Caddell is outgoing, vibrant, and ambitious - the kind of guy most girls fawn over without even trying. Football star, charm turned all the way up, and not a care in the world, at least on the surface.

Nova Ramirez? She's got her nose in a book and her head in the clouds. She's adventurous, sharp, and surprisingly social - but not with *his* type. Not with the loud, flashy, center-of-attention crowd. She keeps her distance, and people like Pierce assume it's because she's shy or stuck-up.

Truth is, Nova doesn't hang out with people like Pierce because people like Pierce have never made an effort to hang out with people like her. She talks to everyone - except the ones who pretend not to see her.

Well, almost everyone. Her twin brother Brian runs in Pierce's circle, so technically, there's a loose connection. But that's it.

Pierce and Nova have known *of* each other for two years. That's it - just knowing *of*. Until Maple Line Camp. That summer, fate throws them together. And for the first time, they really *see* each other.

Because, as people say:

"Every single person on the planet has a story. Don't judge someone before you truly know them. The truth might just surprise you."
