18 parte Ongoing Kaiya Brooks lives for the waves and the rush of the tide. In her small coastal town, every summer blurs into saltwater, sunlight, and freedom. After too many heartbreaks - and one unforgettable betrayal - she's made herself a promise: no more love. No strings. No one who can leave.
Julian West never planned on being here. Fresh off a brutal divorce and a career meltdown, he escapes the city for one reason - to forget. But the moment he sees Kaiya at a blazing beach bonfire, barefoot and laughing under the firelight, forgetting becomes impossible. She's everything he's not: wild, untamed, and terrifyingly alive.
What starts as a reckless flirtation becomes a pact: one summer, no attachments, no regrets. Just heat, salt, and pleasure. But as nights turn into mornings and touches become something deeper, their easy promises start to break.
Julian's rediscovering who he is through her - and Kaiya's realizing she's never really stopped wanting more. But the end of summer is coming, and with it, the moment when they'll have to decide whether what's between them was just a season... or something that could burn long after the tide pulls them apart.
