Sarah Campbell has everything she's ever wanted. She worked day and in and day out for her acceptance to her dream school, Vanderbilt University. And now that she's got it she can't wait to finally let loose. She never was the goodie-two-shoes her parents thought she was, but with a new start here at Vandy, she's really ready to make a name for herself. Except she already has one. Sarah Campbell, Peer Mentor. Sarah's been volunteering as a peer mentor at Vanderbilt since she was in high school, so it's no shock to her when her boss asks her to take on the hardest case of the semester. Cue Adam Watson. Adam Watson is ready to move out and move on. With a past riddled with mistakes, he's ready to create a new future for himself. The only problem? Vanderbilt isn't so forgiving. He's handed his acceptance and football scholarship with one condition, that he meets with a peer mentor once a week. After a serious warning from the head coach, and threats of being kicked off the team, Adam realizes that the only way he's going to keep his starting position is by actually attending these meetings once a week. Even if it's not by choice. Sarah Campbell and Adam Watson's worlds collide in a unique set of circumstances, and neither one of them are necessarily thrilled about it. But as Sarah begins to spend more time with Adam, she realizes that there's more to him than what meets the eye. And maybe, just maybe, there's a piece of him worth saving. *Trigger Warning: This book deals with issues such as Alcoholism & Bulimia. -Updates: once a week -Cover created by: TinHoverCarlnIce

Jas gives me a sympathetic look. She sighs heavily, long nails tapping against the wooden table, dodging the 'Missing' posters scattered all over the surface. "Maybe," she finally says, "Just maybe, he doesn't want to be found, Ava." I clench my jaw. "No. I refuse to believe that. He's not like that." "What do you know?" Jas snorts, finally withdrawing her hand from the table and turning back to look at me. "You don't even know him." xx Ford Wilson was in three out of four of Ava Jackson's classes. They had one mutual friend, did a project together once in sophomore year, and had the same lunch. When Ava's car had broke down, she had even ended up parked outside of Ford's house, asking for gas. In Ava's life, he was everywhere. And yet, she didn't notice him until he was nowhere to be found.
