Two Girls, One Summer, No Apologies

By Jackie Q

A Sapphic Summer Romance About Love, Letting Go, and Living Out Loud

One beach town. One unexpected summer. One girl who changes everything.

Clara Monroe didn't come to Seabright for love-she came to forget. Heartbroken and newly single, she plans to hide behind her sketchbook, survive the summer, and avoid anything that looks remotely like emotional risk.

Then she meets Skye-all sun-kissed skin, wild laughter, and a past as tangled as Clara's own. Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. What starts as a simple friendship quickly spirals into late-night confessions, almost-kisses, and moments too intimate to stay platonic.

But Skye has secrets-and Clara has scars.

As their summer heats up, so do the questions: What happens when feelings become undeniable? Can two girls still healing from their past take a chance on something real? Or will one summer love end before it truly begins?
