Alliana Osborn has always had a good handle on her life. She was a master of being in control, especially when it comes to her music.  But one stormy night she has an encounter with a man that rocks her world and leaves her spinning out of control to the point where she questions if she was ever in control in the first place.

Bennett Aldridge hates his job, and basically life in general. His mood has been grey ever since he was fourteen. Since then, he'd lost everything that was worth anything to him. He never dreamed that he'd attend a classical music concert and fall in love with the violin player that stole the show. 

Will the storms of life push them together - or will they tear them apart? Can Alliana let go of the past? And will Bennett find hope for the future? Read more to find out.All Rights Reserved

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

But that all changes on her first day of college when she crosses paths with Max, the campus' charming and popular football star. Their unlikely friendship pulls her into a world she's never known, giving her all-access to exclusive parties and the popular crowd. But it also draws unwanted attention, jealousy, and plenty of drama. Things get even more complicated when Peyton falls for Beau, the irresistible guitarist of Trudge Lite, the up-and-coming band everyone's talking about. She knows he's the ultimate heartbreaker and tries to keep things casual-but when Beau starts texting her, Peyton finds herself torn between her desire for things just out of reach, the challenge of balancing new and old friendships, and a web of secrets that's becoming harder to keep. Trying to balance it all, Peyton and Max keep up careful charades-not only from those around them but also from each other. Soon they'll learn that secrets have a way of unraveling, no matter how carefully they're guarded.
