Dive into summer with Just One . . . A Summer Romance Anthology

In this short story collection, characters are denied the comfort of hiding the secrets or emotions they hold close when they are forced together in varied circumstances. Whether they involve the sharing of a bed or a car, or a tent on the trip of a lifetime, or something much smaller but necessary, these twelve stories are alive with tension as they highlight the challenge that is forced proximity.

This collection includes:

  • “Power of the Pen” by Amy Hepp

  • “Unexpected Destinations” by Cora Laine*

  • “A Summer Tradition” by Jessica Daniliuk

  • “Vintage Love” by Caz Luan

  • “Millennial Magic” by Mitchell S. Elrick

  • “Sent by Aphrodite” by Rowen Burrows

  • “When Lightning Strikes” by Melissa Cate

  • “Chapped Lips” by Katherine Rea

  • “Starting Again Under the Summer Sun” by Elizabeth Baizel

  • “The Turn at Crooked Creek” by Dan Houston

  • “When You Know, You Know” by Caroline Baccene

  • “Do the Stars Exist?” by Desi Stowe

No matter where these characters find themselves, or what they have on hand, they must navigate more than just these shared spaces, including their feelings for each other, exposed secrets, inner struggles, and the decision of how to—and if they even should—carry their newfound romances beyond summer vacation.

Praise for Just One . . .

“A delightful collection of stories breezing into summer with wit, charm, and heartfelt emotions. JUST ONE is a seasonal gem of entertaining short fiction featuring engaging characters and the familiar tropes we romance readers crave in exotic foreign locales. I loved the stranded on a tropical island enemy to lovers’ fireworks of stories like ‘Unexpected Destinations’ by [Cora Laine] and the fish out of river finds romance vibes found in ‘Chapped Lips’ by Katherine Rea. My new summer guilty leisure read.”

“This is a great summer read! A collection of short stories with relatable characters and scenarios. You’ll get to know the characters as they navigate life’s ups and downs. You’ll feel all the emotions and be reminded that love is out there and there is someone for everyone.”

“This collection is full of love, laughter, second chances and dreams. Each of these love stories brings something different to the table. I knew some of these author's work already but not all. I enjoyed the unique voice each author has and the differences in the stories while all following the same theme. I'll be checking out more from these authors in the future.”
