Every summer, the island of Ibiza fills with people looking to become someone else for a season. For Marco, a bartender at a cliff-top bar in Sant Josep, that is exactly the point. For four years the island has given him what he needed most: anonymity, routine, and the unspoken agreement that nobody asks questions. Then Isla Voss walks in. She is a wealthy Dutch regular who comes to Ibiza for the light, not the parties. Quietly watchful, self-contained, and carrying something she has been carrying for a long time. She orders without looking at the menu. She tips without looking at the amount. She comes back the next evening, and the one after that. What follows is a slow, charged summer of cliff-top evenings, hidden coves, and candlelit dinners in the ancient walled town. Two people who are drawn to each other in spite of themselves, circling something neither of them is quite ready to name. But Marco is keeping a secret. And the longer the summer runs, the more the secret costs him. My Summer in Ibiza is a slow-burn literary romance set against the heat and beauty of the Mediterranean. It is a novel about the person you were before, the person you became after, and whether love can survive the distance between the two.

Once a place of laughter, friendship, and endless sunlight, Hollow Lake now hums with secrets and shadows that move where they shouldn't. Reuniting with childhood friends Eli and Lucas, and alongside her twin sister Aria, bold, reckless, and impossible to ignore, Lila quickly discovers that the lake holds more than nostalgia.

As the Hollow tests them, Lila faces impossible choices. She must confront the limits of courage, the depths of her love for Lucas, and the unbreakable bond with her sister. To save those she cares about, she will have to sacrifice her strongest memory, leaving her with a haunting emptiness in its place.

TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.
