The most recent installment in the Maple Hills series delves into the reconnection of two summer camp counselors following an intense, fleeting encounter.
Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts, students of Maple Hills, chance upon one another at a lively celebration marking the close of the academic year, where a drinking game ignites a fervent one-night stand. Aurora, valuing her independence and not having high expectations, discreetly departs before Russ even has the chance to inquire about her complete identity.
Their astonishment is palpable when they unexpectedly encounter each other on the inaugural day of their roles as summer camp counselors. They both seek solace from their complex personal lives by dedicating the summer to work. Russ desires distance from Maple Hills, aiming to evade the consequences of his father’s gambling addiction. On the other hand, Aurora is weary of constantly seeking attention and yearns to return to the last place where she felt a true sense of belonging.
Russ is aware that violating the camp’s stringent policy against staff relationships could result in an early return to Maple Hills. However, Aurora, unbound by a strong adherence to rules, holds her own perspective. Will they manage to coexist peacefully, or did their passionate night together ignite a flame that cannot be extinguished?
