Two Strangers, One Last Summer
A New Adult Contemporary Romance
Layla Brooks has her whole life planned out - the degree, the job offer, the five-year spreadsheet with no room for surprises. Adrian Cole has spent years running from the future everyone else has already chosen for him. Neither one is looking for love. They're just looking to survive one summer job on the North Carolina coast before real life begins.
Then they meet on the dock, and everything they thought they'd figured out starts to unravel.
They strike a deal: ninety days together, no promises after Labor Day. It's supposed to be simple. Safe. A summer with an expiration date, and two hearts that stay protected right up until the end.
But somewhere between sunrise sails, midnight conversations, and the secrets they've both been too afraid to say out loud, the deadline stops feeling like a finish line - and starts feeling like a wall they're not ready to hit.
Now, as the last days of summer close in, Layla and Adrian have to face the question neither one wanted to ask: when the countdown ends, is love enough to change the lives they already planned?
A heartfelt, emotional slow-burn romance about first love, fear of the future, and choosing the harder, realer thing - even without a guarantee.
