Following a family tragedy, 17 year-old Breanna Alvarez fled her hometown of BayBridge, North Carolina to find a new beginning in New York alongside her mom and younger brother. Now, three years later, and headed for a bachelors degree in early childhood development, Bre becomes stomped once again upon hearing that her mother has been offered a new job opportunity, in Madrid. Forced to move again, Bre and her younger brother packed their bags and prepared to move in with their father, whom they've barely spoken to since the move. Upon her arrival, Bre is welcomed back to a still broken family, friends with secrets, and even a tall handsome stranger who literally came crashing into her life. 

Now, a new and rejuvenated woman, Bre works hard to not fall back into the way things were before she left. But with dark pasts, uninvited guests, family drama, and lies finally coming afloat--the task will become much harder. It is no surprise why they decided to leave in the first place. But once the the truth strikes out in the small town, Bre is left discovering not only more about those closest to her, but the truth amongst society's expectations, and herself.

And just when she feels like she's got nowhere else to go, or no other person to trust, the tides will send her back to what it all comes down to in the end... how far you'll go to protect the ones you love-and how much you are willing to do, to get what you want.

33 parts Complete Mature
This book is now available at Barnes & Noble and nook. This is now only a sneak peak of the book. Trina is a writer, one of her books finally made the best sellers list, so why can't she seem to write another one just as good. She's spent every dime she had, thinking that there would be more to come but even books on the best sellers list stop selling over time. What she needs is another novel, what she's stuck with is writers block. Seeing no other option, she's forced to move back in with her parents. Of course, she could do worse, I mean come on they live on a beach. It's absolutely beautiful with its quaint cottages and sandy beaches that stretch for miles. Trina left this small Island for the big city life long ago after something tragic happened. She has kept this secret for years and intends to die with this secret, until she gets drunk one night and confides in an old friend, Sebastian. Sebastian is sexy, hot and successful, he's a doctor, she could do worse right? And then, there's Alex who she was in love with ten years ago when she ran from the island, does she still love him, or should she leave the past in the past and find happiness with Sebastian. Does she even see Sabastian as more than just a friend? Alex is an ex-Marine turned Sheriff of the island. He's seen more than one man should in their lifetime and is a little broken from the experience. Add that to the fact that Trina broke his heart ten years ago and you get an angry man with a chip on his shoulder. Does his cold exterior match what he's really feeling inside, or has he never quite gotten over Trina? Only he knows the truth as he keeps her at arm's length.

Coming of Age is about the tragic experiences some teenagers go through and many others are aware of.

Sensitive subject matter like drug addiction, extreme poverty, abuse, and violence are touched on, but in an honest, non-exploitative way.

I want to speak to people who can relate to my story and bring understanding to those that don't.

Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material.

Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart?
