Cassy and Blake stand on the brink of a new beginning, hearts full of hope, ready to carve out a year at university filled with beauty and unforgettable moments. They dream of a year where every moment is steeped in beauty, every memory etched in time, as though the world itself would unfold gently at their feet. But life has other plans. The path they envisioned quickly unravels, giving way to unexpected challenges that disrupt their dreams. What was meant to be seamless becomes a struggle against the unknown, with buried secrets surfacing and the weight of life's trials threatening to overwhelm them. As past wounds resurface, each misstep feels like another blow to their fragile hopes. The road ahead, once promising, now seems uncertain and treacherous. In the face of struggle, the question remains: can they find the beauty they once dreamed of, or will their burdens break the vision they held for their first year? Only time will tell whether they can reclaim what was lost or if the future they hoped for will remain just out of reach. "Prepare yourself-putting this book down isn't an option."

She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself. So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing. But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.

She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

After he walks out of their lives, Gabrielle finds herself back in her home town with her daughter while she tries to start over. Enter Nathan, her best friends older brother. He offers Gabrielle and her daughter a place to live until they're back on their feet. And as simple as Gabrielle expects it to be, it's anything but. Especially when Gabrielle realises just how attractive Nathan is and Nathan might realise that Gabrielle is everything is he's ever wanted. "Stop," Nathan says suddenly, his voice hoarse and loud, startling me. His eyes are dark, dilated and fixed on my mouth. "Just . . . stop." This is what I'd wanted when I started reading to him, to wind him up and get the upper hand. Now that I have it, I'm not sure this was the best idea because the way he's looking at me, creates a dampness between my legs. "Why?" I ask, the word comes out a whisper. He stands up and I have to contain a gasp at the obvious bulge in his slacks. "Because I'm not hearing that character asking those questions," he stops in front of me, looking down. "I'm hearing you, asking to make me come, and I'm damn near close to letting you." This is a QB Bad Boy and Me story, but it can be read as a stand alone !
