Lavender Bay

Every summer, Y/N world shrinks to one perfect place — Lavender Bay. The sun-drenched coastal town, the sprawling beach house her family shares with their oldest friends, and the same familiar faces she’s grown up with. It’s always been the same routine: long days by the water, late-night card games, and watching from the sidelines while her brother Ethan and Joey — her forever crush — disappear into their circle of older friends.

More than enemies

At Tommen College, Y/n never planned on getting tangled up with Joey Lynch—the cocky, sharp-tongued boy everyone either loves or hates. Somehow, though, late nights and stolen moments have turned into a secret arrangement: when no one’s looking, they’re all over each other. When the crowd’s around? They can barely be in the same room without biting heads off.

Scenes from a study session

Grace Walker has the friends, the parties, and the perfect smile—but not the grades. When she’s forced to get tutoring from Joey Lynch, the quiet kid with a guitar and a knack for making her feel seen, she’s anything but thrilled. What starts as reluctant study sessions turns into late-night talks, shared secrets, and a connection neither of them expected.
