TRIGGER WARNING One of the most calming things in the world is listening to the sound of waves - not sound waves, but the beach waves. Just sit still, close your eyes, and listen. Don't pay attention to anything else, just the waves. Here I was, soaked head to toe, smelling like salt water, listening to the sound of the waves at three in the morning. How did I end up here you may ask? I tried committing suicide. And some idiot saved me. After a tragic accident that led to the death of her parents two years ago, Abigail Evans moved into her aunt's home in Belmar, NJ. During that summer, she just happens to bump in Roman Carter - mysterious, handsome, and the person that just happened to save her life. All Abigail wants is to leave. All Roman wants to do is to find out everything he can about Abigail. What happens when these two collide?

Let this book submerge you with heartaches, drown you with traces of the past, flood you with self-wonders, wash you with waves of healing, immerse you with romance, and fill you up with colors, but only if you dive into this ocean of poetry and let every word take you into the deep.

C O M P L E T E D ☙❦❧ "Who would ever love Medusa?" "The blind," he whispered. ☙❦❧ She was a daughter worth nothing in a family worth everything. They didn't want her and she was hurt. Neglected. On the other side of the same spectrum stood him. Being taken advantage of does a number on many. A childhood is something almost no one forgets and he'll never forget his. So he took his anger out on the punching bag in the abandoned building each night. He can't hold all those frustrations in. Two people broken beyond repair. One too scared and one too angered to just want to be any longer. But one day, they stumble upon each other. And Maddox Lohan knew he had to save Evelyn Moreau from the same fall he would not be able to escape. But was it fair? To show someone a life worth living when he himself did not want to live? ☙❦❧ 1/11/18 - 10/17/19 [ COMPLETED ] [ 4 pre-chapters + 35 chapters + epilogue ] #1 in young adult reads (8/12/19 - 9/20/19) #1 in boxer (8/23/19 - 9/19/29) #2 in teen romance (05/01/20-05/03/20) #29 in teen fiction (03/13/20-03/15/20) Cover by @xtruebeautyx Copyright ©
