In an attempt to get over her ex, Lilia Mercer jumps at the opportunity to spend the summer in the Hamptons. However, when Lilia starts to fall for her summer fling and is forced to confront her past, she's left wondering if a beach refuge is really enough to move on after all.
---
To the rest of the world, Lilia Mercer's life is on the right track: she's managed to escape the suffocating suburbia that is her hometown, she's graduating summa cum laude from Columbia University, and she's nailed a competitive internship that will have her overseas come fall. But reality is another story, for Lilia still hasn't managed to get over her ex from high school, she can't seem to meet her parent's expectations for how her life was supposed to turn out, and her future is nothing but a far-off blur as long as her heart remains stuck in the past. So when the opportunity arises to be an intern at a well-known international business company while staying at a house in the Hamptons with some of her closest friends, Lilia can't exactly refuse such an escape. However, blissful beach retreat quickly turns into anything but when she starts to fall for her summer fling and is forced to confront her past. By the end of the summer, will she be ready to return to life beyond the beach, or will she get swept up in summer lovin'?

Brave Enough To Love Again
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.

hexes for exes
EVERY SUMMER, four families make their yearly exodus to the British seaside town of Briarville. For Livia Wong, the trip had been tradition ever since she could remember. Summer was always spent alongside the pristine beaches with the dreamy-hued sunsets. The trip is awaited with anticipation, not fear. Until this year. Livia didn't leave Briarville last year on good terms. It wasn't all her fault, of course not, but she was partially to blame. Being no longer on talking terms with your two closest friends is one thing. Having them as your neighbours for the entire rest of the summer, while your parents and other friends have no idea something is wrong? The plan was simple: Livia was eighteen, about to head to university. If she made it through this summer, she could leave Briarville in the distant past and never have to think about it again. But it was going to be okay. She might not be on talking terms with the Calvert-Egerton twins anymore, and she might have always been on horrible terms with Sarah Hepburn, but she still had Brie and Lila. And her little sister, Pamela. Still, eighteen years of friendship was never something that would simply go down the drain. Livia had some work to do if she wanted to make it out this summer unscathed. Her heart had been broken once, she was not going to let it happen again.
