countryclub lifeguarding summer

Bella Jameson works as a lifeguard at a fancy country club her father's college friend owns. Ever since she was little, the Kingsley's have treated her like family, and they know she's content to work alone all summer while she's away from college.

But when Walt, the owner of Kingsley's Ranch--and her boss--introduces her to cocky, rude, and completely arrogant James, she hates him from the moment they meet.

And she doesn't try to hide her unhappiness when Walt Kingsley introduces him as her co-worker.

Bella doesn't think she can survive without drowning beneath the mockery, insults and hate the two share. But worse yet, she doesn't know if she can get through the summer without going under.All Rights Reserved

Mind Games | JJ Maybank by outtsiders

JJ Maybank x Kook!Reader (This story is written in second person with occasional third person references). Summary: If you knew moving to the Outer Banks would flip your life upside down you would've done everything in your power to avoid moving to the island. Your family had bought a new fancy house in Figure Eight, converting you to the Kook life. Whereas everyone on the Cut saw you as the new "princess," especially a certain blonde haired Pogue; but like they always say don't judge a book by its cover, there's always a hidden mystery to be uncovered. Warnings: Throughout this story parts may include: swearing, angst, slow burn, mentions of alcohol, a mention of drowning, mentions of drugs, mentions of slight abuse, fighting, mentions of blood, toxic behaviors, poor coping mechanisms, panic attack/emotional breakdowns, mental manipulation, substance abuse (cocaine), mentions of rehab and the process of it. Additional Information: Sierra is a character I added to the story! © sweetlysilent

ONLY ANGEL | JJ MAYBANK by grounderprincess

ONLY ANGEL ... Most people like the type of girl who exudes confidence everywhere she goes, the type of girl who knows a thing or two about how to raise her voice when it comes to privileged jerks that think they can do whatever they want. They want a girl who has fun at parties and dresses to be seen. If that's the kind of girl you're looking for, then you'll be sadly disappointed. Because Collins Jacobson does neither of those things and she never really has; she's never been that girl, except maybe in her imagination. She's watched those kind of people every day with a suppressed sense of envy, but has never really done anything about it. She's silently brilliant, excitingly boring, and she's always felt sort of invisible to everyone but her brother. But all that might be about to change one summer night in the Outer Banks when a boy she's known since they were preschoolers finally notices her in a drunken haze. And somehow, she gets caught in the treasure hunt of a lifetime with him and his mad group of friends, who always manage to find themselves at the center of all the trouble that goes on in the island. Soon enough, Collins finds herself becoming the kind of girl that she never thought she'd ever be. And maybe she sort of likes it? [SEASON 1-2 OBX JJ MAYBANK x FEMALE OC]

Float by ToastedBagels

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

UNEDITED Gemma Alder is used to being the unlucky one in the Alder family: from a nasty rumour about her back in high school to inexplicable mishaps, she seems to be the comical target for unfortunate situations. But if there's one thing she's good at, it's acting. After she graduated from high school, Gemma remodelled herself and decided to pursue a career in acting-but not in the way you think. Gemma Alder has managed to keep a steady business going across Vancouver Island by playing the fake girlfriend for various customers. Her job is difficult and sometimes it blurs the lines between acting and reality, but it's the only job where she can handle taking orders from the boss: herself. And when a ghost from her past appears, the very ghost that destroyed her reputation back in high school, comes to her, begging her to play the part to get an investor for his company off his back, Gemma take the job without a second thought. Because she sees this as a prime opportunity for revenge. Jake Swift is surprised with Gemma's decision but he's desperate to stop Olive Garcia, a well-known investor, from throwing herself at him. All Jake wants to do is make money and provide for his little sister, Hanna. After their parents died in a car accident, Jake has been the sole guardian of Hanna since he was seventeen and he has no interest whatsoever in a romantic relationship until his little sister has graduated from high school. Long story short, Gemma's agreement is a blessing in disguise. Until, that is, things start to go terribly wrong during his company's two-week getaway to a campground in the middle of nowhere. From unexplainable food poisoning to waxing cream in a sunscreen bottle, Jake can't seem to catch a break, which Gemma is pleased with. However, as time begins to tick away, both Jake and Gemma notice a similarity between themselves which, inevitably, leads to something more. Can the two of them forget the past? Or will their relationship go up in smoke?
