While seventeen year old Caroline Sebas' parents are working out their divorce, she travels from North Carolina to Boca Raton, Florida for the summer, where she stays with her Aunt Kara. Caroline plans on holing up on the shore all summer with a good book, sure she'll be unable to make any friends because of the fact that she is practically a social repellent.
This is until Caroline meets the girl next door, Paige Hawthorne, who has a gorgeous older brother, Dean. When Dean and Caroline adjust to each other, they get a little too comfortable and make one little slip up that jeopardizes the entire summer, causing them each to keep a secret from Paige and their other friends.

The Luckiest Boy
After embracing the rush of life beyond college graduation, gently avoiding the summers that whispered of what could've been. Iris Madden returns to Oak Island, where the salt air still carries echoes of warmth, belonging, and the boy who once unraveled her heart-Ethan Cohen. She tells herself it's just one last summer before she leaves for Spain, a brief pause to pack up the past by healing and prepare for what's next. But Oak Island has a way of pulling you under. It always has for Iris. When Iris runs into Paxton Cohen-her best friend's little brother, now grown and impossibly familiar-she's caught off guard by the quiet confidence in his smile and the way he's changed into a young man and not the same 13 year old kid she left behind 6 years ago. As old haunts stir up buried grief and long-lost memories, Iris finds herself tangled in the bittersweet tension of what was and what could be. With the tide rising and time slipping, Iris must decide: is this summer just a farewell to the Cohens and Oak Island, or the beginning of something she never saw coming? [[WORK IN PROGRESS...NEW PARTS UPLOADED REGULARLY]] "That house, those boys, the rhythm of our shared seasons... they were the one constant I could count on. The one place where life felt simple, safe, and real. Oak Island wasn't just a destination. It was tradition. It was ours."

And while her father has also survived the accident, it feels like he's abandoned her too. Once a top athlete in her state, her body is now broken and just putting on a simple pair of pants is painful. It feels like she's lost her whole identity in the accident. All Jordan wants to do is hide in her room until the summer is over and then leave the town for college. When Nate, a billeting baseball player with the Cape Cod Baseball League, arrives bright and early one morning, Jordan has already decided that she doesn't like him. She doesn't like that he will be staying in Nicholas's room and she doesn't like that he seems so friendly and smug. Over the course of the summer, Jordan finds herself navigating (and sometimes avoiding) tricky relationships while trying to heal both her body and her mind.Complete
