The Summerhouse (18+)

She came to the sea to disappear.
He was the reason she couldn't.
Two broken souls collide on the wild Danish coast-drawn together by secrets, silence, and a pull neither of them can name.
In a town that remembers everything, love is just another way to drown.

"I don't need saving," I spit, though my pulse betrays me. "Not by you. Not by him."

He doesn't smile. He doesn't swear. He takes the last half step like a verdict.

"Good," he growls-brutal and soft at once. "I wouldn't know how."

*******************************************************
Alexis had everything-music filling stadiums, a love that promised forever, a dream so bright it felt untouchable. But dreams fracture. Promises bend. And sometimes the life you've built begins to slip through your fingers like water.

Escaping London's stages and spotlights, Alexis retreats to her grandparents' summerhouse on the wild Danish coast. Here, she can vanish. Here, she can pretend she isn't a rising star unraveling at the seams.

But Rørvig has a way of exposing what people hide. The Erikson brothers-magnetic, notorious, and tied to her past in ways she barely remembers-pull her into their orbit. Especially Tobias: sharp-tongued, infuriating, impossible to ignore. With him, her disguises falter; her lies unravel.

As the tides of this coastal town close around her, Alexis must confront what she's been running from: that healing isn't the same as hiding, and that sometimes the hardest person to face is yourself.

The Summerhouse is a story of longing and reinvention, of the fragile line between pretending and becoming-and of a girl learning whether she can surrender to the sea's pull without losing herself to the depths.
