Meet Ember Clarke- the new girl in town. Or, should I say, on the island.
She's got wit, smarts and let's not forget, she's a killer surfer. Her recent move was decided based on her mom getting a job on the island, as a boat mechanic to help after the storm. Also needing a fresh start and a change of scenery.
Aiden Beckett is native to Oak Island, North Carolina, just like the rest of his friends. He is a laid-back surfer dude and is ready to enjoy his summer with waves and beer when the new girl, Ember Clarke, comes in like a wrecking ball and ruins all his plans. His friends welcome her with open arms but he knows there's something she's hiding from them and is determined to find out what.

The Aid
*MAJOR EDITS/REWRITE IN PROGRESS* Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content
