Every summer after her college semester is over, Cherry Adams travels back to her small hometown in South Carolina to visit her family. Each summer is the same. Work at the diner, go to the beach, and smoke weed. She expected this summer to be the same, but when Boston native Ethan Wright walks into Cherry's workplace, the summer becomes anything other than ordinary. She takes him places he's never been, both literally and figuratively. He makes her feel things she hasn't felt in forever. 

Cherry has sworn off dating completely due to her past, and it doesn't help when a family secret surfaces and shatters her. She can't deal with distractions at this time of her life. Will Ethan be nothing but a friend, or will temptation get the best of Cherry? Even if that's the case, what happens when the summer ends and life has to go back to normal?

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe
80 parts Complete
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
