In Summer by Summer, by YA author Heather Burch, Summer loves her nanny job but is not that fond of her employers’ oldest son, Bray, who represents everything she dislikes in a guy. And for Bray, the feeling is mutual. But when the two are forced together after a dive trip gone wrong, their hearts and minds meet in a way neither expected.
Summer had thought her summer job would be a breeze, until she’s stranded on a deserted island with the boy she despises. Now, they have to work together to survive not only the elements but their differences as their romantic feelings deepen.
When Summer took a job as a nanny for a couple vacationing in Belize, she imagined it would be a fresh start before leaving for college in the fall. And while she adores her charge, Josh, she can’t say the same for her employers’ oldest son, Bray. He’s cocky, inconsiderate, and makes her feel she’s a chore he has to put up with.
Bray had a plan for the summer: party, hang out with friends, and forget all the responsibilities waiting for him back home. But every time he’s forced to be around Summer, her dour, serious mood sets him off. Not to mention she has a habit of pointing out all of his flaws.
The two find themselves on a dive trip gone wrong, stranded on a remote island with no help in sight. As they focus on survival, their differences melt away, and they find being together may be what both needed all along.
