Willow Bend by Kirakira101

In the sleepy river town of Willow Bend, the summer before everything changes is about to get dangerously hot. Nineteen-year-old Ethan Brooks has always played it safe. After his father’s sudden , he stayed behind to help his mom run the family construction business, trading his own dreams for duty. But when a vivid, heart-pounding dream of his childhood best friend Mia Torres leaves him waking up hard and aching, Ethan can no longer pretend the line between friendship and desire hasn’t been blurring for years. Mia is everything the town expects her to be—beautiful, outgoing, and dating the mayor’s golden-boy son. She’s also the only person who’s ever truly seen Ethan. As they work side by side preparing for the annual River Fest, old memories resurface, accidental touches linger, and the air between them grows thick with everything they’ve never said. The festival is supposed to celebrate the town they both love… but a looming developer threatens to destroy the riverfront and everything that makes Willow Bend home. Caught between grief and legacy, loyalty and longing, Ethan and Mia must navigate small-town gossip, family pressure, and the explosive chemistry that’s been simmering between them since they were kids. One dream was just the beginning. This summer, the river isn’t the only thing running deep. In Willow Bend, some secrets are meant to be kept… and some fires are meant to burn.
