as bright as summer

Summer Solstice Bustamante always had her plate full with responsibilities as the only girl in her family, caring for her youngest brother while her older brother and mother work. In addition to household chores, she manages her studies as a second-year Computer Science student, maintaining excellent grades. Despite her packed schedule, she always spares a little time for her secret hobby: exposing cheaters at her university through an anonymous gossip page.

Summer balances her secret life well with her responsibilities at home and in school, ensuring her plate never overfills. Not until her gossip page causes a scandal involving the death of another student.

Summer's identity as the page's owner remains a secret. But just when she thinks she can keep it safe, her crush, Helios Skye Markel from the Electronics Engineering department, discovers her hidden identity.

Summer has always sworn off trusting men, but now she must decide if she can trust Skye with her deepest secret.
