The S'More the Merrier
(2026)(A book in the Year of Accidental Love Affairs series)
A novel by Cedar James
At Camp Peachwood, summer doesn’t just flirt. It misbehaves.
Stella Kincaid arrives at the adults-only lakeside retreat expecting a quiet week of rest, fresh air, and maybe a little emotional maintenance after burnout hits hard. What she does not expect is Fox Turner, the camp’s shamelessly charming guest-experience director, with a wicked grin and a talent for turning every interaction into a promise.
Or Ryker Vale, the broody, rough-handed head of operations, who's a man of few words, but holds deep truths and looks at her like he knows exactly how she’d sound falling apart.
Fox is firelight, mischief, and temptation dressed like a good idea.
Ryker is moonlight, restraint, and hunger that waits until it has her alone.
Stella came to Camp Peachwood to relax. But she finds herself caught between two stepbrothers with old wounds, jagged edges, and enough chemistry to set the whole lake on fire.
With only one week in Northern Michigan and reality waiting on the other side of checkout, Stella tells herself this can stay simple: one beautiful, reckless summer detour. No promises. Or consequences. And no one gets hurt.
But Camp Peachwood has a way of stripping people down to what they really want. And when the lines between desire, loyalty, and something far more dangerous start to blur, Stella has to decide whether this is just a little summer fling...
or a story that leaves a mark long after the season ends.
Genre: Romance
