After the Solstice

Every summer solstice, on the same sun-drenched beach, he finds her. Since girlhood, he's been Kara's only secret - the magnetic, uncanny stranger who haunts her daydreams. For one day every year, her world brightens into a close encounter with this man she cannot explain. She doesn't know his name or where he's from, only that his touch sparks like lightning, and a strange cosmic gravity draws them together even as it forces them apart. But this summer, the world holds its breath. The world's once-tranquil news feed crackles with whispers of a shadowy global rebellion codenamed Project Beacon. With a budding career pulling her future overseas, Kara knows this summer is her final chance to turn fleeting magic into something real. But the man who has claimed her heart is bound to forces beyond her imagining. And this year, the secrets he carries about the solstice will change everything. This year, love and eternity will finally collide.
