One Summer in Miami

Picture this: You’re mid-flight to Miami, dreaming of mojitos and ocean breezes, when your boss calls to fire you. What do you do? If you’re Kya, a brilliant MIT-trained engineer who just lost her dream Silicon Valley job, you head straight to the hottest bar in town for tequila and Destiny’s Child. What she finds instead? Jade Quinn—DJ extraordinaire, impossibly cool, and about to turn Kya’s carefully planned life completely upside down.

This sun-soaked queer romance from Amber Rose Gill delivers pure escapist joy with a side of spice. Kya’s world is all spreadsheets and coding marathons. Quinn lives for late nights, pulsing music, and the freedom of Miami’s electric nightlife scene. They shouldn’t work together. But sometimes the best discoveries happen when you let go of the plan and follow the music.

Perfect for a lazy afternoon on the beach or curled up after a long day, this story serves up all your favorite romance tropes: enemies-to-lovers tension, one bed (you know where this is going), and that delicious opposites-attract chemistry that keeps you turning pages well past bedtime. Gill captures the sultry magic of Miami while celebrating queer joy and the messy, beautiful process of figuring out who you really are when everything falls apart.

Readers are calling it “a sparkling five-star read” and “a perfect beach read… funny and sweet.” Whether you’re looking for destination romance, representation that feels authentic, or simply a feel-good escape, this one’s got everything. Come for the Miami heat, stay for the heart.
