Love in the wild
Helen is a successful manager employed by a large Canadian oilfield company. She is a strong and confident woman who swore off men for good after a string of unsuccessful relationships with her deadbeat ex-boyfriends. Her hard work is rewarded with an all-inclusive sea kayaking trip to Vancouver Island. As Helen lets the open ocean and untamed rainforest ease her anxiety, she feels the walls of her vigilance coming down and opens herself up to a fun holiday fling. Lucas, a strong and handsome architect from her team, might just be what she is looking for in a perfect man. Kayaking through the wilderness proves to be an incredible experience until the group is caught in dangerous conditions following an earthquake. Helen gets lost in the ocean, where she finds Lucas and Ryan, an awkward plain-looking accountant she does not know too well. The trio makes their way to a wild beach, waiting for the rescue crew. Together they have to build a shelter, ward off dangerous animals, and forage for food while trying to keep their feelings under control. This adventure might give Helen a perfect chance to find love, but things are not always as straightforward as they may seem.Complete

Don't Forget Me
Lux thought she knew exactly how this cruise would go: two weeks of awkward family dinners, no cell service, and way too much time to overthink the silence from the boy who stopped choosing her. She planned to keep her head down, her heart guarded, and her nose buried in a book. Then Colt stole it-and tossed it into the ocean with a smirk that would ruin everything. He's infuriating. Impossible. Completely unexpected. And exactly what she needed. From midnight conversations and stolen tequila to the kind of kisses that leave her breathless, Colt slowly becomes the person Lux didn't know she was waiting for. And maybe it's only supposed to last two weeks-but it's starting to feel like more. Because some people don't just pass through your life. Some people sink in. Stay. Change everything. And maybe, if she's brave enough, this cruise won't be where it ends. Maybe... it's just where it begins. - still being edited - - started 7.10.23- -finished 5.30.25- -Tropes: Forced close proximity Summer fling/romance Love at first sightComplete![Wherever You Are [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/11780548-256-k926123.jpg)
Wherever You Are [COMPLETED]
“What is your problem?! LEAVE ME ALONE!” I screeched. I was tired of this and couldn't hold it in. He’s been doing this for a whole year. A WHOLE YEAR. It was the last day and I had nothing to lose from this sudden outburst anyway. I was ecstatic that it was almost summer vacation. I’m going to go to my aunt’s place in Philadelphia and live there for the rest of the summer – AWAY from Dylan and his friends here in Massachusetts. “Never, baby. Wherever you are, I’ll be there.” He sent me one last smirk and left the cafeteria, filing out along with the rest of the students. ♣ “I’ll miss you, sweetie.” “I’ll miss you too, mom. See you in September.” And with that, I closed my suitcase for the last time in Massachusetts and prepared for a peaceful, serene summer in Philadelphia. ♣ “Dylan?!” I shrieked as my glasses drooped down the bridge of my nose. “Abby…?” He sounded unsure as he studied my face and features a bit more. “What are you doing here?” “I should be asking you that,” I stated bluntly while readjusting my glasses. “Oh you silly kids. We already told you. We’re living together!” Elaine announced again. I almost barfed.Complete
Deserted Together✔️
He loosens his grip from my waist and I begin to slip under. My faces scrunches up in discomfort, and he grabs a hold of me. He pulls me closer to him, our faces inches apart. "So you can't swim." He says, grinning. "No. I can't." I say. My eyes wander down towards his chest. I just now notice that he isn't wearing a shirt. I refocus my eyes back to his face, my cheeks getting hot. "We live in California. How do you not know how to swim? There are beaches everywhere." ___________________________________________ It was the last summer before college. For Rae, this meant making memories with her best friends and vacationing till she forgot the last four miserable years of high school. After taking school too seriously and planning all the right steps for college, Rae takes advantage of the time off. For Grayson, this last summer meant deciding if he really wants to spend the next four years being a star-athlete swimmer in college to please his overbearing father, or pursue his true passion of wildlife and spend the next year traveling the world. He takes a vacation with his friends to get away from it all, hoping he will get lay back and relax. When a boat ride and a crazy storm leave the two stranded on a deserted island, everything takes a turn for the worst. Rae and Grayson must adapt to the island around them and depend on each other for survival. Rae and Grayson always knew of each other, being friends of each other's friends, but never about each other. With Rae's panic and paranoia and Grayson's laid back outlook they might seem like an unlikely pairing, but the blazing sun and time away from the outside world just may bring them closer together.
