Two counselors. One tiny room. Eighteen inches between their beds and zero distance between their hearts.
Emma Blake arrives at Camp Pine Ridge with color-coded bins, a laminated schedule, and the worst case of impostor syndrome in Adirondack history. She’s a first-time counselor, a lifelong perfectionist, and a woman who has spent twenty-three years identifying as straight without ever questioning why no man has made her feel anything below the neck.
Then she meets Rae Donovan.
Rae is the camp veteran โ four summers, beloved by every kid, respected by every counselor, and carrying a canoe on one shoulder like it weighs nothing. She’s butch, confident, mischievous, and absolutely off-limits. She’s also nursing a wound from the last time she fell for a straight woman at camp โ a wound that nearly broke her.
When they’re assigned as co-counselors to the same cabin โ sharing a room the size of a closet with two narrow beds eighteen inches apart โ the proximity becomes unbearable. Emma’s “admiration” for Rae turns into something she can’t explain away. Rae’s determination to keep it professional crumbles one whispered conversation at a time.
But camp has a strict no-staff-relationships policy. Twelve kids depend on them. And Rae has sworn she’ll never be someone’s summer experiment again. If Emma wants this โ wants her โ she’ll have to be sure. Not camp-sure. Life-sure. The kind of sure that survives September.
