    Summary

    Some stories don’t begin with fireworks. They begin with friendship and shared summers.

    Every summer, two families visit a sun-bleached beach house to make a handful of memories. Angela Giarratana and Damien Haas grew up side by side, their families bound by sun-soaked vacations and the kind of affection that felt inevitable.

    One quiet confession by the ocean. One last summer. They had no idea it would be the last.

    Ten years later, fate finally throws them together again and it isn’t the same easy summer sky that greets them.

    But some summers never really end.

    Summary

    Twenty years ago the Ranch Creek carnival swallowed a child whole and trapped a town within its grief behind chained gates and whispered rumors. The case went cold, the rides rusted into silence, and the town learned how to live with the unimaginable.

    Those who couldn’t live with it ran from it. Angela was the first to run as soon she graduated high school. She headed to LA to escape her nightmares and find her dreams but as those nightmares continue to chase her down she finds herself back in her hometown that she tried so desperately to leave behind.

    As the twentieth anniversary draws near, reporters stir the town, old friends return, and new sparks form.

    Damien Haas who was just a boy at the time of the first disappearance now has the weight of the world on his shoulders as he continues the investigation started twenty years ago in hopes of finding his friend and the other children who were left behind.

    Pulled back into the mystery she never truly escaped, Angela finds herself side by side with Damien. For the first time she is his equal and not just Shayne’s little sister. They navigate grief together as they try to prevent another child from being taken.

    Summary

    Art looks down at him over his nose, frowning. “I’m not a prude," he defends, an offended lilt in his words. "I’m just normal, and not, like an exhibitionist, like you apparently are.” Patrick raises a brow like he doesn’t believe a word he’s saying. Just to make him mad. It works. “I’m serious, Patrick,” he repeats, sitting up a bit straighter. “I could have sex in front of you, or if you were listening like you apparently love to do now. It would be the exact same as normal. I probably wouldn’t even remember that you were there”

    Patrick studies him, leaned back against the couch lazily. “Yeah?"

    "Yeah." The word is spat out.

    “Okay.” He tilts his head, challenging. “Okay. Prove it.”

    or: the longest, stupidest game of gay chicken to ever be played

    Summary

    “What the hell are you doing, Walter?” Rhonda yells at him once she shakes off her shock, stomping across the hashmarks of the field until she reaches the big idiot.

    Charlie, always a little softer in his delivery, elects to address the obvious. “Your door, Wally. You can move on.”

    -

    Wally Clark has two options in front of him, walk back off the field or walk through his door. Frankly he's pissed about both.

    What if there's a third?
