Mena Hart: Could navigate her way through the forest with only minor help from a compass, that's what came naturally to the Vermont native. When her parents decided to uproot the family to a beach house on the coast of South Carolina, only a bustling, crowded city could be worse.
Ethan Vargas: Raised by the waves that crashed outside his grandparents beach house, he's one who could rarely be found more than one mile from the ocean. And even less likely to be found without a camera dangling from his neck.

Bliss
Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

While 5 years ago, Apollo and Nicolas had been best friends, these days, they never spoke. Nicolas lived across the country and Apollo was a bit too stubborn to reach out.

Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one.

Desperate for answers, he stumbled upon a diary belonging to a young man named Dawson Fontalba.

Trying to bear it quietly, Sam has always carried a lot of baggage. Yet he remains cluelessly reliant on a childhood friend who's always been there---in ways he isn't fully aware of.
