Diana Hargrove has gone through enough tragedy for three lifetimes, yet she still has an affirming smile on her face. She's lived and travelled all over the world, but the last straw that broke the camel's back, brought her back to her hometown, Crescent Heights, Vermont. Diana hasn't been back to this town since she was eleven years old. Haunted by the past, Diana is self-assured that she could make a fresh start. Easier said than done. Crescent Heights is the luxurious town to many upper class citizens. In order to have a fresh start, Diana and her mother, Delilah, move in with her grandmother.
Three generations of tough, unbreakable, confident, and sarcastic Italian women under one roof. What can go wrong?
Returning to Crescent Heights comes with a few things: returning to the place that gave Diana some of the greatest and traumatizing memories, reconnecting with her old friends, returning to a normal life, finding out that her grandmother has been keeping a secret from her, regaining the unquenchable feelings that she's always had for Jayden Russo, and remembering her own secrets that she buried and tried to forget.
Meghan Polinsky was excited to see her long distance boyfriend of four years when she took her trip to Brazil. All that hope was squashed as soon as the pilot announced that the plane was about to crash. You know you will die. No one comes out alive from a plane crash right? Not to mention she didn't expect to be stranded on a raft with a undeniably sexy stranger...
Throw in a bitter old man, a doe eyed little girl, and a silent little boy, as they try to help one another survive. The endless life changing isolation and trauma they just endured they will never be the same...
They need one another as a raft. Not to just float above all the sharks but to make it out alive and keep one another sane.

"Lucas's strong hands pulled me up and I sat like a lifeless doll in front of him. He gave me yet another blank stare then turned, once again, to the water as if it was actually entertaining him. I felt frustrated as I huffed loudly to get his attention.
He turned to me still with his bone-chilling stare. It was a cold stare but I still found my safety in it oddly enough. I stared at him blankly getting lost, forgetting why I came over here. I sat there as the raft slowly rocked back and forth.
"Need anything?" Lucas said seriously.
