Alice and Cat are twins, but where they once looked so alike, now they couldn't be more different. Alice, who had once thought she was so lucky to be loved by the "last good guy" at her school, becomes increasingly uncertain of her volatile relationship. As the strain of their relationship escalates, Alice begins to withdraw within herself, and the rigourous plan she had for her life derails with her. Cat has never been interested in dating. With her eyes focused straight ahead, and her persistent skirting of anyone who tries to get close, she is thrown into an internal struggle when she meets the passionate Addie, who brings out a side of Cat that she didn't realise existed. Love, abuse, bad decisions, and high school sometimes get in the way of being your true self. **Content warning: This story mentions violence, abuse and sexual assault which may be a trigger for some readers.

Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

"A leech like you would never understand the depths of my trust for this girl." The God of Water stands behind her, like a bodyguard. "Giving up has never been an option for you, perhaps taking the garbage out of your way can help you find your freedom." The mysterious man says. Just as he finishes his sentence, a bolt of lightning strikes loudly in the sky. He turns to face the monster as he freezes in shock, He knows, this time he won't be forgiven.
