Marin's Summer

Marin didn't come to Sydney to be seen.
She came to disappear.

For one reckless, sun-soaked season, no one knows who she is. Not the guests who pass her by. Not the city glittering beneath her balcony. And certainly not Callum, the dangerously perceptive bartender who sees straight through the version of herself she's trying to maintain.

She isn't running.
She's reclaiming.

Her body.
Her appetite.
Her right to want without explanation.

But freedom has consequences.

Over three scorching months of desire, moral missteps, and escalating tension, Marin pushes the limits of her autonomy and confronts the quiet truth: empowerment without reflection can look a lot like damage.

Bold. Mature. Unapologetic.
A character-driven novella about agency, hunger, and the cost of becoming someone new when no one is watching.

A standalone story set in the world of Exposure.
