The Camping Series Book 1: Camp Starry Nights

Sophie Jones

Lake St. James returns to Camp Starry Nights hoping for a clean break from heartbreak, drama, and everything that has left him questioning who he is. The camp once felt like home, a place filled with laughter, late-night talks, and the kind of memories that glow long after summer ends. But this return is anything but simple. Familiar paths lead to familiar faces, including one person Lake never expected to see again. Old feelings stir beneath quiet glances and shared spaces, turning nostalgia into something deeper and harder to ignore. As the summer unfolds, Lake finds himself navigating past wounds, present tension, and the fragile hope that maybe some stories deserve another chance.

Angela Carson is to be married off to the wealthy heir Riley Harrison to save her father's failing business and the family name.

They loathe each other, but he needs someone who can tone down his notorious image, someone who will make the executives of Knight Industries choose him as the next CEO. What he finds, though, isn’t the innocent little princess. For Angela has a secret, one that will make Xavier confront his presumptions about her and the truth of his feelings.
