Not Another Summer Love Story by autheras
34 parts Complete
Valerie O'Conner has a pretty good idea of how her summer will go, and it revolves around three very simple activities: sunbathing, working at the local ice-cream parlour, and daydreaming about a world where Logan Mathews doesn't get his way. What she isn't exactly prepared for is a British tourist with a habit of pushing her out of her comfort zone. It doesn't take long for Alastair Sullivan to decide that his entertainment in sleepy Sandy Cove will be helping the town cynic find love. When Valerie's life is turned upside down by a series of promises, she's forced to battle with what she really believes in. A Young Adult story of personal growth, conflicting feelings and a whole lot of romance. Highest Rank: #37 in teen fiction.
