July’s stacked! The city’s doing a 'Retro Gaming Expo' at the convention center—arcade cabinets, VR demos, even a panel on the making of 'Final Fantasy VII.'
Over at the botanical garden, they’re hosting twilight flashlight tours to spot nocturnal butterflies. Sounds weirdly magical, right? And if you’re craving drama, the community theater’s putting on 'Much Ado About Nothing' outdoors. Saw their 'Midsummer Night’s Dream' last summer—hilarious when a raccoon stole Puck’s prop bread.
You know, I just stumbled upon a bunch of flyers for July events downtown, and there's this indie film festival happening at the old theater on 5th Street. They're screening cult classics like 'The Big Lebowski' alongside local shorts—perfect for a cozy midweek escape.
Also, the Riverside Arts Fair kicks off mid-month with live pottery demos, mural painters, and a vinyl pop-up market. I went last year and scored a rare David Bowie LP! If you're into street food, the Night Market every Friday is a must—try the kimchi-loaded fries from the blue truck; they haunt my dreams.
My neighbor’s kid is volunteering at the Summer Reading Challenge at the library, and it sounds adorable—kids dress as book characters for bonus points. They’ve got themed weeks too, like 'Ocean Adventures' with '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' readings.
For grown-ups, the Jazz in the Park series is back with free shows every Sunday. Bring a blanket and those fancy cheese cubes you pretend not to love. Oh, and the comic shop on Elm does a 'Game Night Extravaganza' on the 20th—think Dungeons & Dragons meets Mario Kart tournaments. Last time, someone showed up in a full Link costume.

“You.” I snapped my head up. A naked man marched into the kitchen. Heat rushed to my face. The man draped in tattoos and bronze skin glared at me. “What are you doing here?” I squeaked. “I should be the one asking you that.” He closed the gap between us, and his body slammed against mine, pinning me against the door. His hand wrapped around my neck. I dug my nails into his flesh but he didn’t flinch. “You’re with the Red Claw pack aren’t you?” He sneered and tightened his hold. “Screw…you,” I rasped. “Ezra,” Dad barked. “What?” “Put her down. She’s my daughter.” His hold loosened and I dropped to the floor. I held my neck and glared at him. “You have an eighteen-year-old daughter?” Alpha Ezra asked. Dad shrugged, “Twenty, but yes.” Summer is on the run from her former Alpha, and seeks refuge with her estranged Father. She hides a secret that could get her killed so the one person she must stay away from is the one she's drawn to the most. Alpha Ezra is sort of her Dad's best friend and logically off-limits but soon the lines between them blur and before they know it the desire is too hot to put out. Summer's past catches up with her and the only option is to cheat fate or repeat history. Ezra and Summer must work together or risk being ripped apart.

A cabin by a lake for the summer with barely a soul in sight sounds like the perfect place to disappear to for eight weeks. Just me and my laptop, writing my next bestseller. Away from the city and the drama.
My plans soon change on my first day here, all because of a handsome stranger who turns out not to be as much as a stranger as I thought. Sound's complicated, right? I didn't come here to get involved with anyone, the opposite really, but Kyson has a way to get to me easily, one which isn't so easy to fight especially when he is next door for the entire summer.
I could resist, I should resist, but it is hard to fight chemistry, lust and connection, all things we seemed to share.
