charleston forbidden summer summerromance teendrama teenromance wealth youngadult

In the wake of her father's sudden death, Parker Izumi's life is uprooted when her mom makes the executive decision to move their family down to Charleston. With promises of a much-needed fresh start, Parker is thrown into the highbrow society of the Southern elite before she even has time to unpack. Now, she has to spend the summer before her junior year attending country clubs and extravagant parties, neither of which she's accustomed to or cares for.

Having grown up just barely scraping by, 17-year-old Chase Brooks lives his life with reckless abandonment alongside his close-knit group of friends. Unlike those on the other side of the river yucking it up with their yachts and their McMansions, Chase has nothing to lose and spends his days wild and carefree without fear of what could happen. That is, until he meets Parker and discovers the one thing he's terrified to live without: love.

Together, Parker and Chase dive headfirst into their whirlwind romance. But seeing as they come from different worlds, the odds are stacked against them in more ways than one. Through the ups and downs of their journey, they learn to navigate the delicate pitfalls of falling in love in the face of a society hellbent on keeping them apart.All Rights Reserved

Just One Kiss by lost-blueberries

Enjoy this story free for a limited time. When Farrah Blake let's slip that she wants to lose her virginity this summer, she doesn't expect her childhood best friend, trust-fund baby Ethan Sinclair, to offer her a deal: if he doesn't find a nice guy for her by the end of their joint family vacation, he'll take her virginity himself. Standalone in the Just One Kiss series *** Farrah Blake is dead-set on losing her virginity as soon as she can, so when the guy she's had a crush on for as long as she remembers offers his help, she can do nothing but accept. Ethan Sinclair has been in her life forever - he's her best friend, just like his mother is her own mother's best friend, and their families go on a joint vacation to the lake house every year. Ethan Sinclair is out of time. His parents have arranged his marriage, just as they arranged his brothers. At the end of their summer vacation, he'll be expected to propose to a woman he barely knows. One last summer of freedom, one last chance to do whatever he wants - and he wants nothing more than to make sure his best friend loses her virginity in the most positive way possible, even if that means hiding his upcoming engagement from her. But as time goes on, and feelings grow, will Ethan follow his family, or his heart?

Country Girl at Heart by Taylor_anonymous

After being caught, tried and arrested for a crime she didn't do; Lexi Hunter has a choice. It's either Juvie or spend the summer on her dad's ranch working off her probation. Should be an easy pick, right? Only problem is, she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad in ten years. The last time she saw him was through a car window as her mom drove them and all their possessions away to go live a normal, busy, eccentric lifestyle in New York. So basically, being back at a place she used to call home with a man she can't muster the respect for to actually call 'dad', is a prison sentence in itself. Lexi is determined to hate and ridicule everything about her situation. Wanting nothing more than to get the summer over with so she can go back to real life. That all changes when she meets Dawson Priest; the ranch hand who she is forced to work side by side with. His optimistic, simple, almost eloquent outlook on life, the world, and the small town ranch life in general sparks her to see things from his perspective and may even challenge her enough to mend the strained relationship with her dad. This is a story of self discovery, personal growth, a steamy cowboy fling, and learning the importance of forgiveness. This simple, small town life may not seem as much of a jail sentence by the end of the summer. Who knows, maybe Lexi turns out to be a country girl at heart after all.

Chasing Sunshine | JJ Maybank by books-and-notable

Meg was glad to be back in the Outer Banks. Chicago was full of too much painful disruption and too many bad memories. And for someone who hates change of any kind, she was relieved to come back to her hometown in the OBX. Back to the Cut, back to the Pogues, and back to living the simple life. But this summer would not turn out to be as simple as she expected. All because of one doomed-to-fail treasure hunt, one figure from a past she'd rather leave behind, and one certain blond-haired surfer that she can't seem to unravel her feelings for.

Before You Replied by darasstories

Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

𝐏𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐱 𝐊𝐨𝐨𝐤 | 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 | 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧 | 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 Juliet Thornton was raised in white houses with wraparound porches, Sunday brunches, and silver-spoon expectations. She's Topper's little sister - the quiet one, the good one, the girl who never steps out of line. But behind the calm exterior is a girl who's tired of being perfect. Of being polite. Of belonging to a world she never chose. JJ Maybank lives on the other side of the island, where bills pile up, tempers run hot, and the only thing you can count on is yourself. He's reckless, sharp-tongued, and loyal to a fault. The kind of boy who's been taught that people like Juliet are untouchable. They don't make sense. They're not supposed to. But somehow, when their worlds crash together, it's not chaos that follows - it's clarity. Quiet conversations in moonlight. Glances that say more than words. A slow burn that neither of them expected but both of them feel deep in their bones. 𝑨𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒀𝒐𝒖 is an Outer Banks fanfic reimagined through character-driven storytelling, emotional tension, and a love that defies every line drawn in the sand. forbidden love | rich girl x bad boy | found family | emotional slow burn | "you were never supposed to mean this much" #1 In Coastal Romance #1 In JJ Maybank #1 In Waves #1 In Sneaking Out
