"Sorry, I forgot to ask your name," a voice said.
I turned. It was Dave.
"My name's Soleil." "Soyeil?"
"No, So-leil," I said slowly.
"Soleil," he repeated, making intense eye contact.
She only wanted a fun but quiet summer with her friends.
He only wanted things done right.
But when Soleil, a chaotic camp counselor, meets Dave; the organized head counselor with the blue eyes, her summer takes a turn she never planned for.
☀️A slow-burn story about self-discovery, healing, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you.

Back To The Blue, Back To You
After four years of chasing an art career she can't quite catch, Isla Vance, 22, returns home to Willow Creek, defeated and jobless. Her last resort? A summer lifeguard position at the opulent Willow Creek Country Club, the very place she vowed never to return to. Not just because it represents the life she tried to escape, but because it means facing Jake Holloway. Jake, now 22 and the meticulous Assistant Pool Manager, never left Willow Creek or the club. He's built a quiet life for himself there, haunted by the memory of the fiercely independent girl who left him at 18 to chase her dreams. Her sudden return, bruised and uncertain, is a shock he's long braced for but never truly prepared for. As Isla dons her whistle and Jake barks orders, their forced proximity ignites old sparks and stirs long-buried resentments. She struggles with the feeling of having outgrown this life, only to find herself deeply entrenched in it once more, with Jake as her boss. He, meanwhile, grapples with his quiet longing for the girl who never looked back, even as he recognizes the talented artist he always encouraged. Through awkward staff meetings, late-night pool checks, and the nostalgic echo of their shared past, Isla and Jake must confront the college-sized chasm that drove them apart, and decide if the future they once dreamed of could still exist, even if it's right where they started.Concluida

But then, girls like Rachel, would have interaction with girls like Edith, who are strict and no nonsense. The type of girl who would suspend a kid from summer camp because he was breaking the rules. As you could probably tell, these girls hated each other's guts and vowed that they would stay enemies forever. Asides from this, the Death of Edith's brother Adam constantly continues to haunt her. Did Adam really drown, or is there more to this story? But with the growing attraction, mystery and curiosity its hard to say, do they stay enemies? Do they become lovers but most importantly what happened to Adam? Do they have their happy end?

But when Julian leaves for a football camp for a year, everything changes. Suddenly there is this gap, the years of familiarity as if blown away - they hardly hear from each other anymore, only small fragments of conversations of their parents keep the memory alive. Now, a year later, Julian is back. And with him all the feelings that Maddie couldn't let go of - the heart palpitations, the familiar looks, the unspoken words. As the summer at the lake slowly passes, they meet again, laugh, argue, rediscover themselves - and realize that the bond between them is stronger than they ever thought.

What the Fireflies Knew (Anna Shumate & Sabrina Quesada)
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?

Don't Forget Me
Lux thought she knew exactly how this cruise would go: two weeks of awkward family dinners, no cell service, and way too much time to overthink the silence from the boy who stopped choosing her. She planned to keep her head down, her heart guarded, and her nose buried in a book. Then Colt stole it-and tossed it into the ocean with a smirk that would ruin everything. He's infuriating. Impossible. Completely unexpected. And exactly what she needed. From midnight conversations and stolen tequila to the kind of kisses that leave her breathless, Colt slowly becomes the person Lux didn't know she was waiting for. And maybe it's only supposed to last two weeks-but it's starting to feel like more. Because some people don't just pass through your life. Some people sink in. Stay. Change everything. And maybe, if she's brave enough, this cruise won't be where it ends. Maybe... it's just where it begins. - still being edited - - started 7.10.23- -finished 5.30.25- -Tropes: Forced close proximity Summer fling/romance Love at first sightConcluida
