Sebastian wanted an escape. For years, he had treated his mother's basement as a shelter, hiding from a small town that felt like a cheap video game with a predictable script. He was almost done trying to find a reason to stay-until Violet arrived. The Zuzu City girl with the mismatched eyes who didn't play by the rules of the valley. For a year, their friendship consisted of silent observation, shared secrets, and mutual fixation. Until the night Violet vanished without a trace. But three months later, Violet walks right back into Stardew, and claims to have no memory of where she's been. Now, caught between the life he tried to rebuild and the ghost of the only girl he ever wanted, Sebastian is about to realize that whatever climbed out of the Mines didn't return to save him-it came to drag him into the dark.

Camryn Quinn is finally getting what she wants...sort of. Moving into a dorm and away from her not so supportive father is a good first step, but like everything with him, it comes with strings. She must attend the college of his choosing for at least one year and prove to him that she's ready to be on her own. Then she can go wherever she wants. The only problem is that he is the head football coach and local celebrity at the school of his choice. Taylor Reed is an All-American tight end who is fresh off a record breaking season that ended with a torn ACL. A future in the NFL is almost as inevitable as a full recovery, but when tragedy strikes his family, he's forced to take the first offer that comes his way. Camryn and Taylor's worlds become intertwined when she's assigned to tutor him, but neither will admit the role they play in pushing the other to reach their goals. Together they help check things off the proverbial to-do list that ends with everyone getting what they want...but at what cost?
