Years later, Ramona and Oona are back on Sterling Point, older but still carrying the same complicated closeness they’ve always shared. When a third person becomes part of their lives, their friendship slowly develops into an unexpected relationship between all three. Against the secluded backdrop of the island—late-night bonfires, hidden beaches, summer storms, and quiet mornings by the water—they navigate attraction, jealousy, vulnerability, and what it means to build a relationship that belongs equally to all of them. Meanwhile, Annie, Maple, Sully, and Ellis remain close by, making life on the small island anything but private.
Ramona Campbell and Y/N have rules. No dates. No jealousy. No expectations. No talking about feelings. And absolutely no pretending that what happens behind closed doors means anything once morning comes. It should be simple. It was simple—until Annie Jacobson arrives at Sterling Point and Ramona’s already complicated life begins unraveling. As family secrets surface and everything Ramona thought she knew about herself starts changing, Y/N becomes the one constant she keeps reaching for. Except Y/N is starting to realize their arrangement hasn’t felt casual in a long time. Between stolen nights, lingering touches, jealous arguments and all the things neither of them is brave enough to say out loud, their carefully constructed rules begin falling apart one by one. Because maybe the biggest lie Ramona and Y/N ever told each other was that they were only friends with benefits.
Before the world starts unraveling, Y/N and Robin Buckley are just coworkers at an ice cream shop—bonded by late shifts, sarcasm, and an agreement to keep things casual. What begins as friends with benefits and relentless banter slowly melts into something softer, deeper, and much harder to ignore. A funny, tender gay love story about pretending not to feel things… right up until you do.
Oona has one rule when it comes to romance: two weeks, no strings attached, and no staying once the time is up. You agree, convinced fourteen days of flirting, stolen kisses, and reckless fun is exactly what you need. But somewhere between late-night conversations, unexpected jealousy, and Oona finding excuses to keep you close, the line between temporary and real starts to disappear. As day fourteen approaches, you’re prepared to walk away like you promised—but Oona is beginning to realize that, for the first time, two weeks isn’t nearly enough.
