Camila Smith is a 17 year old girl, living in the town of Dockstrew in southern Maine, from the surface her life appears untangled...caring parents, good grades, great relationships with her classmates,her childhood friend Mason always by her side..
But..was it the truth? 
No one saw past her façade...not after that one night that made her build walls so high up ,no one could get past them to see who she really was.

For Camila, Aiden Creed the "new guy" in town was like a sudden tide that engulfed her leaving nothing in its aftermath, the feeling of fear and everything she wanted to run away from..but..he was also the only anchor keeping her from drowning.

Little did she know...he had demons of his own.

Out of nowhere bodies started turning up, people being murdered in cold blood.
Suddenly Camila's world is forced to crumble and come crashing down..but..does she see the whole truth..or is she blinded by someone else's façade?

"I never meant for this to happen.." he says murmuring to himself so low you could only hear if you were really listening.

"What?" I ask in question, accompanied by the sounds of waves crashing on the shore and the gentle breeze blowing past us.

He turns to my side placing one of his hands under his head to lay on it and laying the palm of his other hand on my cheeks, eyes burning into mine as his eyebrows furrowed in concentration for a fraction of a minute before a gentle smile tugged on his lips."Us" he takes a slight pause before continuing, "I never meant for us to happen."
