Let’s talk about Lottie Duncan. 🏡✨ 

As an only child with absent parents, the Darlington family home has always been Lottie's true safe haven. They gave her a place to belong when she needed it most. 

But this summer, her quiet coastal town is beginning to shift. Tommy is back from university, and those late-night kitchen conversations are sparking something entirely new and nervous between them. He makes her feel incredibly special, but Lottie is carrying a burden no one else knows about—a devastating hidden truth about a loved one’s health. 🤫💔 

Now, she has to learn to navigate her budding closeness with Tommy while doing everything she can to look out for the people she treasures most. 

I can’t wait for you to meet Lottie, step inside the Darlington home, and experience her journey. 

📖 *The Night of the Bonfire* officially releases on **October 25th**!

Let’s talk about Tommy. ☕️🍂 

He’s always been the golden boy of the Darlington family. But this summer, his unexpected return home from university changes the entire rhythm of their quiet coastal town. 

Reconnecting over late-night kitchen conversations and old jokes, a subtle, nervous spark begins to grow between him and Lottie. He makes her feel incredibly special, treating her with a warmth that completely upends her world. 💫 

But behind his charming smiles and familiar laughter lies a massive question mark. Tommy has made a sudden, shocking decision to put his entire future on hold—and he isn't telling anyone why. 🤫🏡 

What is Tommy running from? And can his budding closeness with Lottie survive the secrets they are both desperately keeping? 

Get ready to uncover Tommy's truth when *The Night of the Bonfire* officially releases on **October 25th**! 

👇 Tell me in the comments: Are you a fan of the mysterious, charming childhood friend trope?

An unspoken agreement… and your heart beating entirely too fast 🤫🍽️ 

Tommy is back from university, and suddenly, the kitchen conversations aren't just casual anymore. There's a nervous new spark growing between them, an unspoken agreement Lottie can barely navigate, and a dinner made "for no occasion" that feels like a massive shift. 

But with a devastating secret hanging over her family and her best friend Nessa facing a major crisis, Lottie’s world is getting incredibly complicated. 🌊💔 

Can love survive the weight of the truths they're hiding from each other? 

If you love **high-stakes emotional drama, slow-burn tension, funny friendships, and the childhood-friends-to-lovers trope**, add this to your TBR list immediately! 

📖 *The Night of the Bonfire* drops on Amazon KDP on **October 25th**! 

👇 Comment below: Are you a sucker for the "secret glance" trope? 🥺✨

Having my first review is amazing! 🎉

The Night of the Bonfire isn't just faith-based fiction—it's a clean romance you can trust in the hands of your teen to inspire them and give them hope. ✨
It's a romantic, adrenaline-evoking story you can read on a cold day. ☕️

Be a part of the bonfire night. 🔥
