Hadley and Miles are at odds from the start. Her job? Get the reckless point guard under control and take over as owner of the team. His mission? Ignore her rules and make things as difficult as possible.

😠 enemies→lovers
🏀 sports romance
💙 he falls first
💔 betrayal

Heartbroken camp staff Sage and Nico start a casual fling with 2 rules: Sage can't talk to her fling at school & they can't discuss the future until the last day of camp. When someone breaks their end of the deal, they risk ruining their summers & lifelong friendships. #questpit #q #r

Ten years ago, fallout from tragedy broke them apart. When reunited at the cottage for a wedding, she tries to resist the temptation of reigniting their flame, but he’s the one who can’t be trusted, and nostalgia might not be worth another heartbreak. #questpit #a #r #q

Heartbroken summer camp staff Sage and Nico start a casual relationship to get over their recent heartbreaks. Nico realizes he wants this to be more than a summer thing, but Sage has some unfinished business back at school that she won't let go of so easily.

You know how everyone says time away from your story helps to see what's working and what needs work?

I'm sorry to report it's true.
