After The Summer Ended

---

**Conrad never thought he'd be a dad. Then Eden called him "Dad" and everything changed.**

Life after the wedding should be simple, right? Wrong. Between juggling fatherhood, Belly's wild heart, and the chaos of Cousins Beach, Conrad's trying to hold it together.

But Jeremiah? He's not the uncle everyone remembers. There's a new edge-bitterness simmering under his smile, secrets he's keeping from all of us, and a storm brewing that might just tear the family apart.

And Belly? She doesn't take the same amount of shit she used to take.
From anyone.
Especially Conrad.

Steven and Taylor are dealing with their own stuff now too.

The summer just got a *lot* more adult.

Because sometimes the hardest battles come from the ones you love the most.

This is a story about love, loyalty, and the messy, complicated ties that bind us-especially when the people who raised you become the ones you have to fight.
