Book #1 of Kalehua Bay
Sienna Hale has spent every summer traveling the world with her picture-perfect family. But when they arrive in the small Hawaiian town of Kalehua Bay, she's searching for something real, something that isn't staged for her mother's Instagram or planned down to the last detail. What she doesn't expect is Evander Sterling: a local who's spent his whole life in Kalehua Bay, a guy who knows every hidden spot and unspoken rule of the island. He's reckless, stubborn, and everything her parents would disapprove of.
Evander has always disliked tourists who treat his home like a backdrop for their vacations, but there's something different about Sienna. Beneath her polished life, she's lost, craving a connection she's never had. Against his better judgment, he agrees to show her the real Hawaii, the one beyond the resorts and tourist traps. What begins as a simple challenge soon turns into something deeper, something Evander knows will only lead to heartbreak.
Because summer always comes with an end.
And when Sienna's time in Kalehua Bay is up, they'll have to decide if what they've found is worth the risk or if their worlds were never meant to cross.
