Broken

Evelyn Miller

When Lily finds her boyfriend cheating on her the summer before senior year, it's just another broken piece in her already disappointing life. Then she meets Mason, who seems equally as broken for a different reason, but together they make summer their own and set off to complete a bucket list of promises they vow not to break...and maybe some feelings develop along the way. But their summer fling ends in disaster when Lily and Mason realize they're from rival schools, competing in rival teams. Even worse, when a tragic accident puts their priorities into perspective, can Lily and Mason find a way to be together, and will their friends—and the ultra-competitive sports teams—allow them to have the happy ending they dream of...?

Summer In Our Bones

Summer In Our Bones

Briana Bennett

Jordan Maxwell shows up in sun-kissed Valencia for a family wedding expecting football, food, and maybe a few too many cousins—not the Silva twins. Gorgeous, rich, and way too sure of themselves, they’re the kind of trouble he swears he’s immune to. Except one of them—Nico—smiles, and suddenly Jordan’s pulse is doing cartwheels.

Between orange blossoms, beach parties, and late-night secrets, Valencia turns into a slow-burn battlefield of flirtation and denial. Nico is equal parts danger and delight, and Jordan can’t decide if he wants to punch him, kiss him, or both. But when sparks catch fire under the Mediterranean sun, there’s no hiding what’s real.

Because some secrets can stay buried—until love blows the lid clean off.

And absolutely off-limits... or so she thought. She’s crushed on him for years, but now she’s not just looking—she’s taking. Sparks fly, rules break, and their secret? Too hot to hide. She’s got one goal this holiday season: turn a lifelong fantasy into a very real, very delicious reality. No more waiting. No more pretending. It’s time to go after what she wants—and she’s not taking no for an answer.
