A summer romance on a beachside island faces the ticking clock of August's end.
Anna's summer on Dune Island takes an unexpected turn when she meets Will, a charming visitor from New York. As they share sunlit days and moonlit walks, Anna's heart soars with first love. But with August's end looming, she must confront the bittersweet reality: can a fleeting summer romance withstand the inevitable goodbye? Dive into a tale of love, longing, and the courage to embrace the moment, even when forever isn't promised.

That is, until she locks eyes with Will, the gorgeous and sweet guy visiting from New York. Soon, her summer is filled with flirtatious fun as Anna falls head over heels in love. But with every perfect afternoon, sweet kiss, and walk on the beach, Anna can’t ignore that the days are quickly growing shorter, and Will has to leave at the end of August. Anna’s never felt anything like this before, but when forever isn’t even a possibility, one summer doesn’t feel worth the promise of her heart breaking…
