He's only here for the summer...

Halle Clements, a carefree and confident teen, lives on Minute Island, a very popular tourist destination. Her life takes a turn for craziness once she meets Evan Heath, a tourist with a cute smirk, and falls for him. However, there's serious tension between locals and tourists on Minute Island and when Halle and Evan cross paths with a mean group of locals that live to terrorize tourists, Halle needs to act fast.

She invents a lie that Evan is, in fact, a local- just was homeschooled. 

At first, the story brings Halle and Evan together for a summer of adventure, fun, and romance, but the time eventually comes for Halle to figure out if she made up the story to protect Evan or to protect her own heart. 

After all, it's hard when you're falling for a boy who's only around for the summer.

What Riley doesn't expect is to meet someone who manages to break down every wall she's carefully built. Ross Montgomery has lived on Long Beach Island, New Jersey his entire life. Ross's family has faced many hardships in the past few years, so he stayed at home to take care of them. Even though he knows he's doing the right thing, sometimes he still longs to travel, explore, and experience the world. That's why he applied for a year-long global service trip. Now he has to decide whether he'll leave his family behind to see the world or stay in the same small town he's lived in all his life. When he sees Riley Olson on the beach on the first day of summer, he doesn't know that she'll change his entire worldview and challenge him to live the life he's only imagined. But there are only 93 days in summer, 93 days until they both have to decide what their futures hold, together or apart.

When Madison's soon-to-be husband called off their wedding a day before, she immediately went to Windle Mart because nothing soothes her anxiety more than grocery shopping. While roaming around the place, she saw a Holiday Raffle draw that includes a 7-day all-expense-paid trip to Paradise Island. Madison didn't hesitate to sign up when asked by a Staff to try it, but the universe has its twisted way of making surprises. During her flight to her free vacation, she didn't expect to see a familiar face, someone she only sees on the big screen, someone who has a jaw-dropping visual that makes every woman swoon, including her. Kai Carter, an international actor is flying in an economy-class plane, alone, and undisguised, a very unusual thing for someone who's known for having private jets that takes him around the world whenever he wants and flaunting his luxury lifestyle through mega-expensive supercars that he casually drives downtown. Madison couldn't help but think, "Is he going MIA to take a break after his long-time girlfriend dumped him?" Will Kai and Madison's encounter mend their broken hearts as they explore the beauty of living and loving freely? ~ 2nd Place Winner - Gemers Awards 2020 (Romance Category) The Ambys Awards 2023 - Round 3 Qualifier The Creative Awards 2023 - Quarterfinals Entry Started: April 2020 Finished: March 2022
