Sakshi Canada. Studies. Work shifts. Graduation-my goal for now. Amidst all of it, he stumbled into the diner. Straight into my thoughts. My mind kept returning to the moment we first met, until the words in my notes began to blur. His ocean-blue eyes flashed through every thought. I told myself it was a fleeting crush. I told my heart to settle down. And I did. Until the day I got married. I was destined for an arranged marriage. Never in my dreams would I imagine him as my husband. Alex Lockhart. The man I once waved away as a passing crush... became my husband. How am I going to navigate these unknown waters? Krishna... what did you do?! Alex I always watched others have the love I craved-quietly, from the sidelines. Then I saw her... and suddenly, the world shifted. My heart recognized her before my mind ever could.

Last summer, there were six of them. This summer, there's an empty chair at every bonfire. Ever since her cousin Ava died, nineteen-year-old Nora Hayes has been counting time in befores and afters. Before the accident. Before the silence settled over their once-unbreakable friend group. Before everyone started pretending they were okay. Now, the five of them are back for another summer in the lakeside town that holds every memory they wish they could forget. Mia is trying to keep everyone together. Eli is carrying more responsibility than anyone notices. Finn is holding everyone up while falling apart himself. And Luke Carter-the reckless flirt who never took anything seriously-is suddenly impossible to read. Nora has spent years dismissing Luke as the charming disaster who left broken hearts all over town. Falling for him was never part of the plan. But somewhere between dockside sunsets, midnight swims, old traditions, and the grief they can't outrun, she discovers the boy hiding behind the reputation-the one who loved Ava like a sister, who blames himself for the night everything changed, and who might be the only person who understands the pieces of Nora no one else can reach. As the anniversary of Ava's death draws closer, the truth about that night threatens to shatter the fragile peace they've spent a year rebuilding. Some summers change your life. This one will decide whether the five people left behind can finally learn how to live again-or lose each other for good.

I'm graduating soon, set to take Political Science, and there's Granty-my classmate, my constant companion, the boy who makes my heart race... but only ever gives mixed signals. Everyone swears we're together, yet we keep calling ourselves "just friends." But far away, Kian never really forgot. Even as he became a top student, a leader, and the team captain-with girls lining up for his attention-his thoughts always drifted back to the girl he could never have.

With a positive pregnancy test in her hand and a promise from the boy she loved, she waits at midnight for Jackson so they can run away together and start again. But the night he never shows up changes everything. Heartbroken and alone, Renee leaves her life behind and boards a bus to nowhere, carrying both her grief and the child she chooses to keep. In a home that would never accept her truth, she becomes a mother in silence, rebuilding her life one impossible day at a time. The only reminder of what she lost is the name she gives her son-Jackson. Two years later, Jackson returns without warning. Older, changed, and finally ready to face what he ran from, he finds Renee in a small town with a child who looks at him like he belongs in a life he never earned.

Love, for her, was never the problem-trust was what broke her. If Jackson wants a place in their lives, he will have to earn it in ways apologies alone cannot fix.
