The hottest summer brings the first flames of love.

Love is dangerous. It collides with culture, and culture is defied with rebellion.

She promised herself to me.

Ryder is the small town’s local college boy.

It’s summertime, and he’s at the beach when he sees a young, college girl.

Their eyes lock together.

Intrigued by her, he wants to approach her but she quickly disappears.

Disappointed he returns home, but he sees her the next day in his summer class.

Good girls don’t fall in love. They only obey.

From a traditional Middle Eastern family, Cyrah is a young foreign-exchange student.

She’s studying abroad in a summer program of the small-town.

Intimidated by her beauty, Ryder begins writing love letters to her.

She is flattered but tries to steer clear from him.

But then an incident happens that draws these two star-crossed lovers together.

Slowly, she begins breaking all the rules and reciprocates the same feelings.

But summer doesn’t last forever though, and Cyrah has to leave.

EXCERPT:

She turned to look at him. His posture was relaxed. She inhaled his scent deeply. He smelled like woodsmoke and aftershave. It was overwhelming to be around him sometimes. “You know funny guys are dangerous,” she said.

He arched an eyebrow at her and asked, “Why?”

“It’s like you make me laugh and laugh and then…” her voice trailed off then, hesitating to say the next words.

“And then?”

“And then it’s like boom, you’re in the bedroom. It’s a magic trick,” she accused him, her eyes narrowing in slits at him.

Ryder burst out laughing at her words. Then, he puffed out of his chest. “We’re smooth.”

She giggled at him. “You wish, joonom.”

His eyes widened at the word. “What does that mean?”

She looked away, unable to meet his gaze. Then, she cleared her throat and said, “It means my life. It’s another way of saying… my love, to show your affection.”

She turned to look at him, and his brown eyes scorched into hers. He bit his pink lips in response, as if unsure what to say now. She wanted to run her hands through his dark stubble. There was a desire pooled in the pit of her stomach that wanted to come out to the surface. A magnetic pull drew her to him. He was smart, kind, and funny. She never liked anyone before. Her contact to men was always limited.

She wanted more of that.

More of him.
