Betty Dalton and Elías Santamarina-James have been dating for seven months of pure bliss.
In Betty's eyes, their relationship is nearly flawless, if you don't count his insistence to sleep with her and his constant need for reassurance.
It's the first party of their last summer together and Elías sees her dancing with another boy-it seems innocent to her but he knows better. Plus, she knows he hates crowds and still forces him to go.
Now she is left stranded in their hometown while he goes with his family on vacation.
Enter Augustine Maddox.
Elías has always seen her as his younger brother's best friend but this summer everything's different. And when she pulls up to him, he can't say no.
Afternoons together become nights but he only dreams of Betty.
Augustine knows better than to get involved with a guy with a girlfriend but he assures her that their relationship is hanging by a thread, Betty drives him crazy and he needs an outlet. Maybe this is her chance to prove to him how good they can be together.
After all, he's just seventeen. He doesn't know anything. So who can blame him?

The Summer I fell too hard
It was supposed to be a clean slate. New town. New school. No attention.!! Then I got stuck sitting next to Caleb Maddox - East Haven High's golden boy with dimples, a devil-may-care smirk, and the kind of energy that makes you fall without even realizing it. He doesn't remember me. But I remember everything. The summer we met. The dare. The way he promised he'd never forget me. Spoiler alert: he did. Now, I'm just "the new girl" to him. But he's the boy who once wrecked my heart without even knowing it. And thanks to one annoying seat swap, I'm stuck right beside him again - in class, in drama, and in feelings I swore I buried years ago. But the thing about summer is... it doesn't care who you're trying not to fall for. If he doesn't break her again... She might just break all her rules for him.Complete

Bliss
Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?
