"It's summer in Longmoor. Weird shit always happens." He grinned. "You and me? Wouldn't be the weirdest."
___________
For almost fifteen years, four families lived at the end of Finney Court in Longmoor, North Carolina.
For fifteen years, the Metsons, Lewises, Bryers, and Cruzes have attended every sports game, every dance recital, and every poorly rehearsed theater production. Whether it was graduations, weddings, or vacations, the Finney Court families did it together.
Other than growing up across the street with parents who are best friends, Dakota Metson and Wesley Lewis have nothing in common.
But when devastating news hits Finney Court, everyone returns to Longmoor to handle it the only way they know how- together.
So actually, Dakota and Wesley have at least one thing in common.
They're both home for the summer.

See The Stars [Completed]
Three months. Two old friends. One secret. Darla Sampson has four things on her mind: work hard to get into the college her mother wants, don't talk back to her step-father, don't overdose on her medication, ignore her heart and lock it away. But when she runs into Ronan Cruz- the first and only love of her life- the façade she had built starts to crumble. Two years ago, Ronan was Darla's best friend, the one she fell in love with, the one she destroyed, the one who blamed her for what happened two years ago, the one who made her believe in love only to break her worse than anyone ever. Told in alternative formats between her old journal and now; the young duo spent lazy summers together on their beach house, doing prank wars, soaking the night at the beach and talking to the stars, and growing and falling in love. But the present duo has turned strangers to one another until they meet by chance. Darla's mind is overshadowed by what happened two years ago but she comes to understand the truth behind Ronan's past actions while he offers her something she possibly can't refuse. A love that burns brighter than a star.Complete
