Every Summer After Book Novels & Stories

TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS CHAPTER Juniper Summer was always my favorite season. Some people complained summer is too hot, or too humid, but I loved the feel of the sun shining down on me, loved being able to spend my entire day hanging out in and around the stream, and loved having an ice-cold lemonade at the hottest part of the day. While it was technically not summer yet — the solstice was still several weeks away — the temperature was hot enough for me to claim it was summer.

We grab our sodas, and as we step back onto the boardwalk, the sun dipping lower behind the horizon, I can’t help but think that summer is just beginning—and I have no idea what it’s going to bring. But one thing is certain. Gavin hasn’t stopped affecting me, and Eben… Eben is just as dangerously magnetic as ever. Summer has a way of changing everything. The sun dips lower, casting the pier in molten gold, the waves lapping rhythmically below. Josh and Gemma are still splashing around, and I’m walking beside Gavin, surfboard tucked under his arm. The quiet between us feels loaded, and I’m just about to break it when Eben’s voice cuts through.

she said before walking out on me. I sighed as I watched her, as her footsteps faded into the distance. Dejected, I went back to my car and drove off. I just couldn't get why she was so difficult to understand. One minute I think I've figured her out and the next minute, bam! She's like a totally different book. Autumn's POV "Hey, Autumn," Summer called out to me, interrupting my reading. I'm guessing by this time she was now probably sick of playing alone with her harem of Barbie dolls.

Acknowledgement In March 2023, this year, I got diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I love to grin and tell people that I’m not only neurodivergent but I’m super neurodivergent! I knew in the back of my mind while writing Tempting Teacher and Bossy Bodyguard that Summer was a neurodivergent and has ADHD. I’ll take a minute because I wanted to share something.

But dont worry this summer, the next book will be uploaded. In the meantime, go read Retrograde or The venom in my system; both are amazing books too. Thank you for reading.

“I’m sure you and Jessie can get in plenty of beach time over the next few days. Just like old times.” Aiden laughed, for the first time that morning feeling carefree and in her element, elated at the sheer luck of the timing. All of them, Jessie, Mitch, herself, and some other long time friends had practically made a career out of life by the shore, taking full advantage of Adelaide’s cottage being right on the water with its own private little stretch of beach, and grateful for every moment. It could prove all too easy to fall back into that breezy rhythm. “Keep talking like that and I might have to extend this trip into the whole summer.”

Over summer break, right after graduation, my parents, Stuart and Rachel Powell, decided the whole family would take a road trip together. But the moment I hauled my suitcase up to the car door, Mom's hand shot out to stop me. "There's no room. Maybe you should just sit this one out." She glanced back at the seat behind her. "Aiden doesn't want you along, either. He's not feeling well right now, so give way to him." My knuckles went white on the suitcase handle, and my throat turning bitter. Aiden was the biological son they'd lost years ago and only just found again. Ever since he came back, everything that used to be mine had gone to him. Slowly, I'd been pushed to the margins of t

she said and walked away but not before grinning widely at me After this conversation, memories of the past, the ones I hoped to forget someday flooded my mind and tears poured down my eyes. I wish my mum never had a sister like this. ---------------------------------------- “LUNA MIDNIGHT BLACK!! ” Lily screeched stomping towards me as I was at my locker. Yeah, I still went to school after what Jenny and I had this morning, I couldn't stay in the same house with her, I choose life. “What the fudge? ” I asked her not really interested in what she had to say.

"Nothing much. Summer in the house can be boring. All my parent's talks are about real estate and stuff." I sighed in agreement. It is boring in the house, not just during summer. I wish I can be busy, and dedicate my life into doing something else. Something involving exciting. Or something involved with literature – like writing a book. Based on the books I've read, the world is very big. I wish I could get to travel one day. Experience what it's like out there. "By the way, I went to your house the other day. That Dom guy said you weren't accepting visitors," There was a hint of annoyance in his tone.

What do normal people do when they come to Crete for a summer vacation? They probably post photos on I*******m with captions like "Sun, sea, sand #blessed," sip ouzo in the evenings, smash plates, and just soak up that effortless island vibe. And what am I doing? I’m covering my ears with my hands, counting prime numbers backward in my head, and trying not to lose my absolute mind. I am in a literal marathon to stay sane.
