The summer I didn't ask for

How far would you go to reclaim the love you let slip away? Elena Vance returned to her hometown with a clear goal: sell her grandmother’s house and bury the past. Ten years had passed since she fled without explanation, leaving Mateo Vega behind. Now, he is the only interested buyer. And it’s not for the real estate. The tension between them is a wire on the verge of snapping. Amid structural blueprints and glances heavy with ten years of silence, the negotiation becomes a clash of wills. Mateo doesn’t just want the property; he wants Elena, with her scars and her secrets. But when it’s revealed that he manipulated circumstances to force her return, the line between love and possession blurs. In a world where power corrupts and desire hurts, Elena must decide if security is worth more than the risk of burning again. Are you going to do it? Are you going to choose the chaos of the heart over the order of reason? A second-chance story where nostalgia is fierce and redemption comes at a high cost.
