Who said island resorts were fun anyway? Well, they are, but when you get stranded? In the middle of a hurricane?
Audrey never really expected much from this trip. After all, it was only a free trip, nothing fancy.
Getting stranded was never part of the plan. At least she wasn't alone. She had a tall, dark, and extremely cute boy who had friendliness issues and seemed to know a little way too much about everything to keep her company.
Audrey fell in love with a cute, intelligent boy who loved his family and played the guitar.
She had kissed him goodbye back at the island, gone back to her old life, and had never expected to see him again.
A month later, she realizes that a band is trending all over the internet. A band called Enigma with exactly six members and a drummer that looked suspiciously too much like the boy back at the island.
Audrey might have tried moving on, but when her heartbeat was so in sync with his, she just has to find him again, and make him hers once more.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
