Riley Delta can't seem to keep her head above water. As an art student lacking in inspiration and living off of sad minimun wage, she can barley keep up with her physical life, let alone her mental life. She's coping how she can, burying herself in shifts at The Rough Grind and surfing in between class, but some how her memories seem to always find a way to drown her in an ocean of anxiety, no matter how fast she swims away from them. Jeremiah Rolend can't seem to focus on himself. His family is never away from his thoughts, no matter how many times they tell him not to worry. He is weighted with a guilty conscience from his past, and moments from his present, only pushing through his college years at the request of his younger brother. He knows his problems are not his own, but he somehow he keeps taking them onto himself, no matter how much he knows he shouldn't.

Perrie Lancaster has zero plans after college. No dream job she's working toward, no one to impress, and no care for anything other than making her last two years of college one big party. Levi Saints wants nothing more than to follow his dream of the Olympics. He's the swim team captain, spends most of his time submerged in water, and doesn't venture out into the unknown. Perrie is the unknown. Coming from a mildly depressing childhood, Perrie isn't shy about her distaste toward athletes. After an unfortunate disaster of a 'meet-cute', Levi makes it his mission to show her that not all athletes are soulless jocks with nothing better to do than think they're better than everyone like she's been led to believe for so long. Perrie isn't giving in so easily, but one thing she didn't count on, is how competitive Levi Saints can be.

We've always been told to think before we speak, so as not to offend anyone. Maddie Hayes is over it. No matter what is said, someone is going to get offended. She just doesn't care anymore. For someone who grew up with five older siblings, Maddie has never felt more alone. Now that they're all out of the house and starting their own families, that loneliness has manifested into anger at the feeling of being abandoned. Madeline was never supposed to be the 'good girl'. From the years of sarcasm, she's learned from watching her older siblings, Maddie is 'that girl,' the girl that everyone envies, who can make you cry with just a look. But maybe her life isn't so great as she wants everyone to believe. Maybe she's tired of being forgotten by her older siblings; maybe she's angry because her parents work too much or that her friends would never actually be there for her if things got tough. Maybe she's just sick of all the bullshit.

It stared as one of their usual games.. She was everything anyone would want He was everything everyone wanted Parker Jacobs (PJ), and Ryan Alexanders were the most competitive people in school. And they hated each other; Being captains didn't help either. When forced to work together is there a chance it might all change? What happens when it's not a game anymore? Positions change, and so does the layout?

Reillyn Cole had experienced it all. Grief. Pain. Heartbreak. And yet, still, the cruel world continued to throw hurdles in her unendingly winding path. Elias Ryker had grown up under tyranny. Despite problems of his own, he becomes the most likely to be able to save her. And she was the last anyone expected to actually want to save him. But she did. She wanted him. He wanted her. But fate didn't want them together. Now, they must navigate an overprotective best friend, a homicidal father, a psychotic brother, and a hilariously crazy grandma. But, will Rei ever get her happy ending? - - - "Boxer Boy, you don't really have a choice in the matter, you either help me or I squeal about your very illegal activities," I obviously wasn't gonna tell but he didn't know that so I silently prayed he wouldn't call my bluff. He leaned down so he was eye level with me, he smelt like apples too. "Why do you wanna learn how to fight tigru?" I tried my hardest not to let my gaze flicker down to his bare chest, but it was right there and very distracting. He cleared his throat making me shoot my gaze back to him as I hoped my voice didn't come out shaky, "that's my business, just like the reason you fight is yours." His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it was full of emotion! I can't wait for the sequel to come out! This book had something for everyone and anyone; if you enjoy reading, you'll enjoy this book!" - Mackenzie "I read a lot and this is one of the best books I've read. If you are this young writing this good I cannot wait to follow your career." - danielchristinatin
