"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.

More than I should
Maddie and Julian have known each other all their lives. Best friends since childhood, inseparable, confident in every small and big decision. 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.

The crash took her father and nearly took her along with it, and the woman who walked out of that hospital was someone who had to learn, slowly and painfully, how to start over. But she did it. She built something steady, something real, something that finally felt like it belonged to her. That was before Marcus Creed walked into her life. Charming. Successful. The kind of man everyone falls for without quite knowing why. He made Zara feel safe in a way she hadn't since before the accident, and she let herself believe that was enough to trust. It wasn't. The man she thought she knew isn't the man she married. He's patient. He's calculating. And he's been planning his next move long before Zara ever saw the first one coming. After all, things are not always what they seem.

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 sightComplete
