To be loved is to be seen. Gemma Graham is high fashion, pastel pink, and perfectly curated-a striking contrast to the sea of sweatpants at Briar University. But beneath her flawless eyeliner lies deep-seated anxiety and a severe panic response left behind by her volatile, emotionally abusive father, sports mogul Phil Graham. To keep her cracks from showing, Gemma keeps everyone at arm's length. Especially her hyper-protective older brother, hockey captain Garret. Beau Maxwell Briar's star defensive lineman and a projected top-five NFL draft pick, he's a 260-pound mountain of pure muscle, effortless charm, and locker-room banter. He's also Garrett's friend, making Gemma strictly off-limits. But when Beau witnesses Gemma freeze during a severe panic attack, his protective instincts completely take over.

Every summer, Ella Conklin spent time at the Fisher family beach house in Cousins Beach with her cousin Belly. Along with Belly's brother Steven and the Fisher brothers Conrad and Jeremiah, they were inseparable - five kids, a tight-knit group, one endless summer after another. Until two years ago, when a tragic event changed Ella's life forever. Since then, she hasn't set foot in Cousins. No salty air. No campfires. No laughter by the dock. Now, two years later, her mother Claire decides it's time to send Ella back - back to the place where everything was once easy. Hoping she might find a piece of herself again. But when Ella returns to Cousins, she quickly realizes: She's not the only one who has changed. Conrad, Jeremiah, Steven - even Belly - are no longer the kids she remembered. Feelings that have long been dormant begin to stir. Old wounds reopen. And new questions arise: How much of the past can you keep when you've already become someone else? And what happens when memories are no longer enough to hold the present together?

Vanessa Rubio has more interest in a career-ending injury than she does in falling in love. At least your body gives you an explainable reason for slipping away, because she has learned the hard way that love does not. Unfortunately for her, Dean Di Laurentis was inevitable. With her father being the assistant coach of his hockey team, she sees enough of him as is. Of course it was going to be her turn to be on the receiving end of his oh-so charming smile one day. With an Olympic dream, she already had a lot stacked against her. The last thing she needed to add was 250 lbs of muscle in the form of a blonde hockey player- 350 lbs if you count the girl that was probably on top of him as we speak. But their frequent encounters and his persistence has her a little more invested than she originally intended... and now she's keeping secrets from her friends. Vanessa finds herself in an awkward position (literally and figuratively). Dean Di Laurentis finds himself with a crush (at least he thinks, he's new to this). But are they willing to abandon their old ways for a shot at love? The better question is, are they able to? s1-tbd
