How do you reconnect with someone who feels like a stranger, but once meant everything?
Eden never thought she'd spend her summer under the same roof as Sebastian,her ex-childhood best friend, the boy who vanished when she needed him most. He missed her mother's funeral. Choose another girl. Left her to grieve alone.
Now he's back, acting like nothing happened.
But Eden hasn't forgotten the late-night talks, the promises, or the way her heart still stumbles when he walks into the room.
One house. One summer.
Can they fix what was broken-or is some damage beyond repair?

Beautifully Broken
"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.Complete
The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
More than I should
Maddie and Julian have known each other all their lives. Best friends since childhood, inseparable, confident in every small and big decision. But when Julian leaves for a football camp for a year, everything changes. Suddenly there is this gap, the years of familiarity as if blown away - they hardly hear from each other anymore, only small fragments of conversations of their parents keep the memory alive. Now, a year later, Julian is back. And with him all the feelings that Maddie couldn't let go of - the heart palpitations, the familiar looks, the unspoken words. As the summer at the lake slowly passes, they meet again, laugh, argue, rediscover themselves - and realize that the bond between them is stronger than they ever thought.
