Our Summer (The Season Of Us #1)

This was written just so I could get motivation to finish the novel I'm writing, but I kind of love this. (English is not my first language)

Giselle Holloway, the youngest of the Holloway family, has always played the role of a perfect noble lady. Outgoing and confident, she's been the center of attention ever since she entered society.
Yet, beneath the surface, Giselle longs for the kind of love she reads about in books and admires in paintings-a love that sees past her performance and falls for the real her.

Samuel Mortimer, the quiet and reserved son of a rival lord, has always been sure of what he wants. His future is clear, and he would rather be an outcast than sacrifice his dreams to satisfy society's expectations.

When the first ball of the summer brings them together, an undeniable
connection sparks during their very first dance. Samuel sees through Giselle's mask, recognizing someone far more complex than the confident lady of high society. And in Samuel, Giselle finds a rare understanding that draws her in like nothing else. They spend their days by the shimmering lake, picnicking in the forest, and talking until dusk-losing themselves in each other's company.

But as summer fades into autumn, Giselle is forced to face a heartbreaking truth: perhaps not all loves, no matter how powerful, are meant to last. Bound by the duties of their families' names, can their love survive when they were always destined to be enemies?
