Set in the seaside town of Seaborne, this story follows Lydia, a girl who has lived in the same town her entire life and is desperate for something more than the endless cycle of familiar faces and quiet streets. Then Adrian arrives from Scotland with his mum, and suddenly everything starts to change.
What begins as an unexpected friendship filled with bonfires, late-night walks, aquarium visits, and stolen laughter slowly becomes something neither of them saw coming. For the first time, Seaborne doesn't feel quite so small, and Lydia finds herself falling for him.
But summer doesn't last forever.
When Adrian leaves unexpectedly and silently, Lydia is left trying to rebuild her life and move forward, while Adrian struggles to forget the girl who made a strange town feel like home. Distance, time, and new beginnings are supposed to make things easier, but some people are impossible to leave behind.
Months later, Adrian returns to Seaborne, and the feelings they thought they'd buried come rushing back. As old memories resurface and Lydia is in a new relationship, Lydia and Adrian are forced to confront the connection that never truly disappeared.
A heartfelt story about first love, growing up, heartbreak, and finding your way back to the person who changed everything.
