Alley Creek

Seventeen days into her summer job at Alley Creek Camp, Alicia Landon has already fallen in love-with the glittering water, the smell of pine, and the boy she definitely shouldn't want.

Blake Martin is confident, charming, and assigned as her partner for the season. What starts as innocent banter turns into late-night swims, shared secrets, and a growing connection neither of them can ignore. But camp has one strict rule: counsellors can't date.

Then Alicia and Blake discover a forgotten box of love letters from 2010-an aching, intimate correspondence between two former campers whose romance didn't survive the distance. Inspired, they decide to spend the summer writing their own story, a novel woven with stolen moments and the words they're too afraid to say out loud.

But as their feelings deepen, the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. And when camp politics, old grief, and the fear of real consequences threaten to separate them, Alicia must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk-and whether some loves are worth breaking the rules for.

A sun-soaked, slow-burn romance about the stories we write, the people who change us, and the summer that changes everything.
