Jasmine Hunt is vacationing with her parents in South Pointe, Miami, for one last weekend together before she goes away to college. Zain Perez is a college senior on a full-ride baseball scholarship to USC, home for the summer. What neither of them know is that their lives are about to change forever. Jasmine is from an affluent family in Maine who wants her to date young men from society. Zain is from a Cuban family who wants him to meet a nice Cuban girl and settle down. They both made promises to their families that they intend to keep but can’t deny their attraction. Jasmine promised her mother that she would wait to sleep with a man until she was married. But Zain comes up with a solution: Get married Friday and divorced Monday, while having the time of their lives for just one incredible weekend before going back to college. Sounds like a plan. But what was supposed to be a casual liaison ends up being their heart’s desire. Join Jasmine and Zain as they learn what it is to sacrifice for the good of family. But will their love be the ultimate sacrifice? Just One Weekend is a novel of a first love so epic that neither of them can forget… or deny.

Chapter 1: Not for You

JasmineJasmine Hunt rode in the back of her parent’s Mercedes, headed toward South Pointe, the southern point of Miami, Florida. She pulled her long brown hair back into a ponytail, fanned her neck, and let it fall over her shoulders and down her back again. They were almost there, and, already, the heat was sweltering. Jasmine couldn’t wait for the promise of a constant ocean breeze, ready for her summer vacation to begin.Since she had just graduated from high school, Jasmine had hoped to get away by herself this summer. But that wasn’t happening. Instead, her parents had persuaded her to go to South Pointe and spend time with them on the beach. After all, this would be their last summer together before she headed off to UT Knoxville in the fall. But at least they would be spending all summer on the beach, so it wouldn’t be a total waste. Although she was glad to have time with her parents, Jasmine had waited a long time to have her own life. Now, she wanted to start living it.“Ar

I really love this book. Just wish there was more to the ending as far as what happens after everything is done. I just don’t wanna spoil for nobody, but this was a great book and I loved it.

Chapter 2: Sacrifice

Zain Perez slipped his surfboard into the bed of his black pickup truck, heading to his mother’s house. He had just come home from the University of Southern California on a full-ride baseball scholarship. Although he had been offered the same at the University of Miami when he had graduated high school, Zain had to get away or bust, so he chose to go to USC. Now, Zain was about to start his senior year… and was the first in his family to graduate college.He remembered his father’s sacrifice, sneaking his family out of Cuba in the middle of the night and staying behind to ensure their escape. Zain had just been a boy at the time, but he still remembered it as if it were yesterday.“I don’t want to leave you!” Zain cried, only nine years old. “I love you!”His mother clutched his older sister, Carmen, and stood to the side, crying as she watched.His father, Javier, knelt before him. “It’s okay, son. I’ll be along soon. I’ll be right behind you. I promise.” Then he squeezed his should

Chapter 3: Time Would Tell

Zain“Wow!” Zain gave Juan a manly handshake. “You have a son!”“Yeah, but Sylvie is my little princess.” Juan smiled, raising an eyebrow.“Speaking of which, where is she?” Zain asked, looking around.Just then, a cute little girl with light brown curls wearing a frilly pink dress saw him. “Uncle Zain!” She ran toward him, and he scooped her into his arms and nuzzled her neck, playfully scratching her with his day-old beard. “Ew!” She laughed, pulling away.“Do you have a kiss for your uncle?” Zain asked, turning his cheek to her.She gave him a big kiss on the cheek and then squirmed to get down. “Love you, Uncle Zain!”“Love you, too.”When he stood her on her feet, Sylvie grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the backyard. “Come on! Everyone’s here! Abuela’s waiting!”Zain laughed. “I’m sure she is. Well, let’s get this over with. But will you promise me a dance?”Sylvie stopped in her tracks and twisted back and forth, watching her frilly dress flare out. “Sure! Let’s go!” Then

Chapter 4: See You Tomorrow

JasmineJasmine had barricaded herself into her bedroom for the rest of the night, not wanting to deal with her parents. But she woke early the following day, dressed quickly, and headed for the beach. Although she wanted to go surfing, Jasmine didn’t want to go alone, so she watched the sunrise instead.Streaks of pink and soft orange spread across the morning sky as she sat on the sand close to the shoreline, wrapping her arms around her legs. This truly was beautiful. If she could, she would move here and stay forever. Although she liked Maine, the winters were frigid, and Jasmine was more of a summer girl.Jasmine watched the sun rise behind the ocean. She liked this time of day, early morning before the beach became crowded. The seagulls were flying about, swooping down to catch a fish, and then flew back up again, cawing to their friends in an occasional disagreement, adding to the ambiance.As she watched the birds and the ebb and flow of the sea, she thought of her parents.

Chapter 5: The Death of Him

Zain Zain hadn’t slept well all night, thinking of her. When he finally got to sleep, it had been fitful. As soon as the faint rays of sunshine peeked in through the window, he showered and hurried out, in a hurry to get to the beach to see Jasmine. Jasmine. What a beautiful name. It suited her well. Zain quickly grabbed his board, wanting to get to the beach early to meet her. Even though they had just met, he couldn’t deny his attraction to her. But even if they ended up just becoming friends and nothing more, that would be fine with him. It would be nice to have another surfing buddy for the summer. Zain slipped out the front door and locked it behind him, feeling like a kid sneaking out. He started the engine and soon was on his way to South Pointe. He didn’t want to seem like a stalker, but he couldn’t help himself. Turning the truck down another corner, he wondered what he was doing. Jasmine was clearly only eighteen, and he was twenty-one and would be twenty-two by the tim

Chapter 6: Sun and Surf

At the end of the run, Jasmine jumped off the board, feeling more exhilarated than she ever had before.“Great run!” Zain shouted. Then a wave came up, and he laid on the board and started paddling. She waited on the shore, watching as he stood and dropped into the wave at just the right time, catching it just before it crest, jumping off when he got close to shore. When he stood, his hair was slicked back as water glistened on his skin. He was completely and utterly gorgeous.“Great job!” Jasmine stood on the shore, clapping. “But you could have made a little twist at the end. You know, added some flair,” she teased. She couldn’t just say he was magnificent. After all, the Greek god was probably used to people telling him how great he was.But to her surprise, he picked up his board and ran toward shore. “Oh, I could, could I?” Then he dropped his board on the shoreline and ran toward her.“Uh, oh!” Her eyes grew wide, laughing as she ran away.Then, suddenly, he grabbed her from beh

Chapter 7: Uncle Miguel

ZainZain waited outside for Jasmine while she took her surfboard into her apartment. He guessed he should have introduced himself to her parents. But they had just met, and they were only going to his Uncle Miguel’s food truck. His uncle made the best Tostones, Cuban bowls, and Cuban Sandwiches in Miami. He just hoped Jasmine liked Cuban food.A moment later, she came out the door, still wearing her bikini and sarong, but she had also put on dainty leather sandals and had pulled her hair back into a ponytail. She looked gorgeous. “Ready?”Zain nodded, smiling. “You know, if you don’t like Cuban food, I can always take you somewhere else.”Jasmine smiled, shaking her head. “No, I love it.”“Great!” He started walking in the direction where his uncle always parked. “It’s right around the corner.”“How far?” she asked, trying to keep up with his long strides.At that moment, Zain realized how much smaller she was than him. He had to have been at least a foot taller than her. Perfect.He

Chapter 8: Epic Fail

JJasmineJasmine was taken aback by Zain’s forwardness at kissing the top of her head. But she didn’t mind. She liked that people in his culture were so friendly and affectionate. But it would take her a bit to get used to. Although her parents were affectionate, it wasn’t like this. But she wasn’t complaining.“Sorry about that,” he replied, seeing her reaction.“I’m not.” She shrugged. “With you, it feels natural.” If any other guy had done that, she would have probably decked him without thinking. But not Zain. He was different. With him, everything was different in ways she couldn’t explain.“Here you go!” Miguel announced, setting two rectangle paper containers lined with thin paper on the counter. “Let me know if you’d like anything else.” Then he smiled at Jasmine. “It’s nice to meet you, miss. Make sure to keep this one out of trouble.” He laughed, pointing his thumb toward Zain.“Okay, okay! Don’t scare her off,” Zain said, taking both containers.Miguel shrugged. “She doesn

Chapter 9: First Kiss

ZainAlthough he hated to say goodbye, Zain walked Jasmine back to her parents’ apartment, knowing she couldn’t spend much more time in the sun. As fair as she was, she would fry.“I had a nice time with you today,” he said as they walked toward her door.Jasmine nodded, obviously having had enough outdoor fun. “So did I.” But as they walked toward her door—literally right on the beach—she paused. “Would you like to come in for a while? We can pop some popcorn and watch a movie.”Zain shook his head. “Maybe some other day. But I would like to meet your parents, if that’s okay.” He laughed. “I don’t know what’s customary in your culture, but in my culture, the boy has to meet the girl’s parents before they go on their first date. Then, usually they have to bring along a little sister as a chaperone.”Jasmine’s eyebrows rose in disbelief. “Seriously? In today’s day and age?”He nodded. “‘Fraid so.”“Well, lucky for you, I don’t have a little sister. I’m an only child. But don’t give my

Chapter 10: Tell Me

JasmineOver the next few days, Jasmine and Zain went surfing every day. It was an unspoken, simple vow between them. And Jasmine found that she looked forward to each day, knowing she would spend it with Zain. Then, when it was time to go, she hated to leave his side in the afternoon.“Where are you going?” her mother asked one morning just before she was going out to meet him.“Surfing.” Jasmine was already getting a nice tan from being out in the sun every day. On this day, she wore a floral summer shorts set over her bikini, thankful that her mother had insisted on getting them.Her mother’s lips were set in a straight line. “I don’t want you seeing that boy anymore.”“Mom, he’s a great person.” Jasmine hurried to gather her things, not in the mood to hear her mother’s complaints again. If Zain had been a boy of society from what her parents deemed as a “good family,” her mother wouldn’t be complaining at all. But that was one of the things that Jasmine liked about Zain. He was hi
