Bailey Lazarus detests her life. She has five peevish siblings, lives in ramshackle cottage, has an unstable mother who can't even afford new shoes for her children, and a dead best friend. Life couldn't be more miserable.

Parker Conway has nearly conquered his dream of becoming an Olympic swimmer. He's knew in town and the only thing he wants more than a successful career is the girl he can't have.

When Bailey and Parker meet the world is shaken to its core. Bailey finds herself in a battle between pushing away the people trying to care for her and pushing away the vivid hallucinations leaking into her life. Parker struggles to keep his grip on Bailey because if she pushes him away, there's no getting her back.    

Never did Bailey consider that maybe the secret to her healing lied in the wound.

Molly has never felt safe. For four years she has lived in constant fear that the serial killer that murdered her family is coming for her. She has been moved around the country continuously, dropped off with a new foster family every couple of months that are too out of their depth to deal with her. When she is relocated back to California at seventeen, Molly has nothing left to live for. Believing that suicide is her only option, Molly makes the brave decision to end it all one fateful night . She had the perfect plan; nothing was supposed to go wrong. Just one choice, one jump, and she'd be with her family again. Charlie has never had to consider his own empathy towards strangers. He's arrogant, selfish and becomes unbearably irritated with other people's problems. But when he sees Molly standing on the edge of the bridge and ignores every part of himself that wants to walk away, something awakens inside of him that he never realized was there. Saving her was just the beginning. The two are thrown together in a world-wind friendship of hope, healing and passion as they endure the temptation of love and the danger of a sadistic killer that isn't willing to let Molly go.

The water feels ice cold, freezing every bone and cell in my body. I know that there's something I should remember right now, but I just can't find it in me to care. I take in a deep breath and smell the salt on the air. I feel the wind rush through my hair, and I can hear the waves crashing onto the beach. I soak it all in, and surprisingly nothing disturbs me. I look up and stare at the dark clouds hovering over the ocean, and I can faintly hear a commotion behind me. I ignore it though, I don't want to ruin this peace I've found. **************************************************************************************************************************************** How much will Lilly have to sacrifice to protect her family? How much pain will she have to go through before it's all over? How much?
