Sumner Comes First

Sumner Comes First

by Vivienne Wren

Sumner arrives at the lake house determined to keep her heart locked tight. This summer is about fixing her life, not reopening old wounds. Then Corbin walks in with that familiar grin and zero respect for emotional safety plans. He is her brother’s best friend, her first crush, and the mistake she never quite forgot. Confined spaces, shared memories, and long summer nights stir feelings she swears are buried. Corbin challenges every rule she makes, while Sumner fights the pull between comfort and chaos. Old sparks crackle with new heat, and resisting him starts to feel like the hardest rule she has ever made. Falling again feels reckless… but what if it is exactly what she needs?
