Jace Carson isn't sure what he wants-but it's definitely not to spend his summer lifeguarding with Eliot Hart, the quiet, awkward boy who's everything Jace's world tells him not to be. But the longer they work together, the harder it gets to ignore the way Eliot makes him feel.

Eliot's been hurt before and isn't quick to trust. Jace isn't out, isn't sure, and can't stop falling anyway.

Bittersweet, tender, and slow-burning, The Summer Between is a story of first love, self-discovery, and the quiet moments that change everything.All Rights Reserved

In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.

At Camp Rockwell, the lake isn't the only thing heating up this summer. Sabrina Quesada is a headstrong leader with a clipboard and a five-year plan- definitely not the type to fall for her reckless new co-counselor and bunkmate, Anna Shumate. But when the senior counselors kick off a secret summer bucket list full of dares, adventures, and late-night escapades, Sabrina finds herself reluctantly teamed up with Anna again and again. Between prank wars, midnight swims, and sparks that won't quit, their rivalry begins to blur into something messier- and far more dangerous. But when the campers discover that Camp Rockwell might not survive past this summer, everything changes. Faced with the possibility of losing the place they all call home, the counselors rally together to pull off a chaotic, heartfelt talent show fundraiser that could be their last shot at saving Rockwell. With the end of the season looming, Sabrina and Anna must decide: was it all just a game, or did they find something real at the bottom of the bucket list?

Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy.

One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.
