Lily Anderson lived a quiet life in a small Wisconsin town, always bordering the cusp of "average" and "above average".  That is, until her father upended their family and left Lily and her mother spiraling towards a summer with relatives in San Diego.   The pair arrived barely alive, coping in different ways and floundering for something to hold onto.  Her mother was determined to drown her sorrows in sangria and margaritas, leaving Lily to her own devices in a foreign town with relatives she barely knows.  

Colin Shore is the town's bad boy who sucks her into a whole different world where she finds a surprising realm in which she finally has above-average talents.  She's determined to keep him at arm's length, and he's unnervingly good at getting under her thick skin.  

Will her new passion finally help her understand who she really is?  Or will she run from it?

Bliss by MissLaughALot_

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

Because the Night by elenanico22

Lily graduates from college and her life falls apart - or at least that's how it feels. Within a day, Lily a) leaves the comfort of campus with a degree that doesn't guarantee her a job, b) breaks up with her boyfriend, Colin and c) moves back home for the foreseeable future. She's in a dead end. She's in a rut. She's not in any position to meet Diego in at the Highland Mountain House during a week-long tango vacation with her mom, but that said, when is anyone really ready to meet the love of their lives? Especially if the love of their lives isn't anything like what they'd expected? Not the strait-laced, bank-bound Colin but Diego, who lives at his family's hotel and teaches dance? Who's older and has a beard and a whole lot of baggage? But in this hour, Lily doesn't know about any of this happening yet. She's just getting in the car that will lead her to her future. Let's follow along.
