Then There Were Six

"What are you doing here? And why are you yelling?" I whisper scream at him looking to see if any of the neighbors have noticed.
"Do not fret! You have not one, but two suitable bachelors vying for your attention. Jace is here also." He gestures behind him and I watch Jace walk up the drive.
"Justin, can you stop being weird for, like, five minutes," Jace says once he's standing in front of me.

By all means, Carmen Acosta's life is pretty great. She's got two amazing supportive parents, a goofy, protective older brother, the best friend a girl could ask for and a promising dance career. Although she's got some nerves about her Junior year, it's nothing she can't handle...she thinks. That's when three unlikely strangers enter her life, among them Jace Hunter. He befriends Carmen and as they become closer, it almost seems there's something simmering under the surface, but before she can figure it out things start to shake up her entire junior year and her parents make a decision that sends her world in a downward spiral. As she's trying to pick up the pieces of her own life, all the ones she loves around her seem to be drowning too. Grappling with who she is, who she wants to be, and how she'll handle something as monumental as life she finds the feeling of belonging in one place. Six completely different people coming together, somehow feeling at home.
