But as Summer navigates office drama, cutthroat competition, and a growing attraction she can't ignore, the truth becomes harder to hide. Especially when one night in Paris changes everything.

The Internship
Elena Mitchell never expected her first psychology internship to change her life. A first-year student still figuring out the theories in her textbooks, she's suddenly thrown into the deep end when she's assigned to UCN Rehabilitation Center. Specifically, to one patient: Tommy Reeves. Tommy is around her age, but everything about him feels older: jaded eyes, sharp sarcasm, and walls built brick by brick from a past he refuses to talk about. He's recovering from alcohol dependence, though no one's sure he really wants to. Cold, closed-off, and clearly not thrilled to be assigned a student intern, Tommy makes it clear he doesn't believe in help, or people. But Elena isn't there to fix him. She's there to understand him. What begins as reluctant, tense sessions slowly unfolds into something messier, deeper, and far more dangerous: connection. As Elena navigates her professional boundaries and the unexpected pull of emotion, she finds herself caught between what she knows and what she feels. Helping Tommy means confronting her own buried fears, and loving him might mean risking everything. Set in the quiet corridors of a rehabilitation center and the loud chaos of two hearts trying to heal, The Internship is a raw, emotionally-charged debut about first love, trauma, recovery, and the fragile line between helping someone and saving them. [A story with a plot twist]
