Stranded on an island after a plane crash should be one of the most terrifying experiences of your life. For Paige, it was, but it was also the beginning of something unexpected.
Nineteen year old Paige Sommers is grieving the loss of her twin sister, Sadie. But fulfilling the dream trip they always planned together feels impossible without her. But when a letter from Sadie pushes her to go, Paige finds herself boarding a plane to Athens, trying to hold on to her sister's memory while navigating her own guilt and pain.
Holden Adler, a twenty nine year old, has spent years failing to meet his cop father's expectations thanks to a condition he can't control. Traveling to Athens for a last chance treatment, the last thing he wants, or needs, is to babysit anyone, let alone a teenage girl.
When the two strangers meet at the airport it's anything but friendly. Both are glad to walk away, certain they'll never have to deal with the other again, but nothing prepares them for what comes next.
"Stranded together, we found what we never thought we'd need: each other."
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us.
I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body.
"You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself.
If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop?

In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price.
Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau.
