It is the summer of The Great Shift.  A media witch hunt has begun, tracing everyone responsible for misleading the public about human induced climate change.

Nate Richards left in a hurry, with only the clothes on his back; barely escaping the throngs of paparazzi and vigilantes at his gate.  Finding a backwater island in the South Pacific for his hideaway, he tries to unravel the confusion.

Bella is escaping her own personal terror in London.  Hidden in her luggage is an urn.  Desperate to find a safe place for her baby's remains she is drawn to the perfect island.  Protected from new comers by the Foveaux Strait (which has become enraged by rising sea temperatures) she hopes to find tranquility at last.

But will they both find the peace they are searching for?  And will it survive when their secrets are uncovered?

*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...

Two boys. One secret. And a summer that changes everything. Morgan always knew her mother's love came with conditions-and an expiration date. As CEO of the Jones Hotel empire, Alice Jones has never let motherhood get in the way of her ambition. So when she announces a move from their New York City penthouse to Beacon Beach-her sleepy hometown on the coast-Morgan dares to believe it might be their chance to start over. But just days before Morgan's eighteenth birthday, her mother is gone again-off to Europe to open her first international hotel-leaving Morgan behind to face the summer before senior year completely alone. Or so she thinks. Everything changes when Morgan meets Jake: the charming boy-next-door who runs the local bookshop and makes her feel like maybe this place could be home. He's steady, kind, and safe in a way Morgan has never known. But just as she begins to fall for him, she meets Cam-Jake's opposite in every way. Brooding, reckless, magnetic. The boy with a reputation, a past, and a way of looking at her that makes it hard to breathe. What Morgan doesn't realize is that Jake and Cam share a secret. One that runs deeper than rumors. One that has the power to change everything. Now, torn between the boy who grounds her and the boy who sets her on fire, Morgan must decide where she stands-between light and shadow, comfort and chaos, the truth and the lies they've buried. Because in this small beach town, nothing stays hidden forever. Trigger Warning: Verbal and physical aggression Alcohol and drug use by minors Sexual assault Gun violence

One circle. Two secrets. No boundaries. Luna Hart lives behind a glass framed by her father. Untouched, obedient, and perfectly controlled. Until Leo Reyes touches her. Looks at her. Undoes her. He's reckless, ruined, and absolutely wrong for her - but somehow, the only thing that feels right. Every brush of his skin leaves a mark. Every word, a dare. Not the boy her family would approve of. Their late-night meetings feel like a secret rebellion, until the truth starts to surface. He's hiding something. So is she. Secrets rise. Lines are crossed. And just when it feels like she's found something real - life takes it all away. When fate rips them apart, can love still find a way back through what's broken?
