Each story brings a different holiday to life in a new way, full of euphoric first love, heartfelt emotion, and a lovely touch of fantasy magic. Engrossing, swoon-worthy, and impossible to put down-these books will keep you dreaming of holiday happily-ever-afters!" -Jennifer Brody, New York Times Bestselling Author of Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall Escape and The 13th Continuum
One summer. One secret. One love they never saw coming.
Aliya Jacobs has always counted down the days to summer at Lake Carrington-sunlit swims in turquoise water, lazy afternoons at her uncle's cabin, and every moment spent with her best friend, Nick. But this summer brings an unwelcome surprise... Nick's cousin Wyatt.
Sharp-tongued, guarded, and openly resentful of the out-of-towners he calls "hillies," Wyatt clashes with Aliya from the moment they meet. Yet when a late-night rescue leads them to a reclusive old man and a map tied to a long-lost treasure-their rivalry turns into something far more complicated.
Whispers of hidden clues begin to surface, suggesting the legend might be real. At the same time, the powerful Elias Corporation is closing in, determined to transform Lake Carrington into a luxury resort that could destroy Nick's family store and the town Aliya loves.
Reluctantly forced to work together, Aliya and Wyatt race to uncover the truth before time runs out. But as danger grows and secrets unravel, they must decide what matters more: finding a treasure that could save the lake... or risking their hearts on something even more uncertain.
