Two years after her mother passed away from breast cancer, Shayla finally decides to sell the beach house that she spent many summers at while growing up.

Going back to Wilmington, North Carolina wasn’t supposed to be complicated, but after eighteen years, she realizes that the house is alive with forgotten feelings from a much simpler time.

While packing up her old room Shayla stumbles upon a diary left by an innocent seventeen-year-old girl on the cusp of adulthood who wrote down every thought and every feeling from that faithful summer.

It was the summer when she experienced her first sweet love—and her first very real and very painful heartbreak.

Now Shayla finds herself surrounded by memories she’d rather leave behind, but now that she’s holding them in her hand, she just can’t seem to let them go.

“Southern Lights” is a story about the power of first love, and proof that over time, absence truly can make the heart grow fonder.

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

52 Partes Concluida Contenido adulto

Two years ago, Leigh Anne Davis shocked everyone in tiny Fairhope, Georgia when she broke up with her wealthy boyfriend to attend an Ivy League university a thousand miles away. At school, she finds a happiness and independence she's never known. Until one terrifying night takes it all away from her. With no place else to go, Leigh Anne heads home to reclaim her old life. A life she worked so hard to escape. On the outside, she seems like the same girl everyone has always known. But deep inside, she's hiding a terrible secret. That's when she meets Knox Warner, a troubled newcomer to Fairhope. His eyes have the same haunted look she sees every day in the mirror, and when she's near him, the rest of the world fades away. But being with Knox would mean disappointing everyone all over again. If she wants to save what's left of her old life, she has no choice but to say goodbye to him forever. Only, the trouble with goodbye is that sometimes it's about courage and sometimes it's about fear. And sometimes you're too broken to know the difference until it's too late. This is Book 1 of the Fairhope Small Town Romance series. While each book can be read as a stand-alone, some characters interactions and events will be more meaningful if you follow this coming of age romance series from the beginning.
