Breakups are hard enough. But they're a whole lot harder when your ex won't let you move on... When Violet first met Cash, the hearts in her eyes were too big to see the red flags that seemed to linger around every corner in his life. But when love is in the picture, the ugly stuff hides behind emotional walls and hardship can loom at the bottom of a bottle. It wasn't long before Violet lost herself in the murky waters of Cash's self-destructive behaviors and became the life preserver he needed. Now that it's over, all she wants to do is get back to her once-happy self and find a love that doesn't feel like drowning. But as the past haunts her present, loyalty is tested, confusion riddles her heart, and the progress she's made is put in jeopardy. Violet's always been the rescuing type, but can she finally save herself when it matters?

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete

That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what.
