The Summer We Shouldn’t Every summer, Sasha Sokolov returns to her family’s private island—a place of sun-soaked afternoons, extravagant parties, and nights that seem to last forever. This year, however, her mother’s best friend, Malakai Volkov, is joining them for the entire season. Malakai has always been untouchable. Wealthy, confident, effortlessly charming, and practically part of the family, he’s the last man Sasha should ever fall for. But something changes between them this summer. A lingering look becomes a secret smile. A harmless conversation turns into late-night confessions. Every accidental touch feels intentional, and every attempt to keep their distance only pulls them closer. Malakai knows Sasha is off-limits. She’s his best friend’s daughter—the one person he promised himself he would never want. Sasha knows exactly how dangerous it is. Still, neither of them seems willing to stop. On an island where everyone thinks they know each other’s secrets, their growing attraction becomes the one thing they have to hide. Because some lines are meant to be respected. Others are meant to be crossed. And this summer, they’re going to cross every single one.
