Some tides never stop pulling you back.
Breakwater Bay was never meant to be permanent. Not for Rae Callahan-not after the heartbreak, the family secrets, the way she left everything behind without saying goodbye. But when she returns home in her early twenties, raw from loss and searching for something she can't quite name, the sleepy surf town greets her with more than just crashing waves and old memories.
There's Kai Mercer, her once-best friend and first love-the boy who waited, hurt, and never truly let her go. Still sun-drenched and sincere, Kai wants answers. Closure. Maybe even a second chance.
And then there's Nico Blackwell-quiet, sharp-edged, and nothing like what Rae remembers from before. A loner with a past he keeps locked up tight, Nico doesn't chase people. But Rae? She makes him want to risk everything.
Torn between a boy who knows her past and a man who sees her present, Rae must untangle the version of herself she lost from the one she's becoming. As secrets rise with the tide and emotions build like storms offshore, one thing is certain-
In Breakwater Bay, love is as dangerous as the undertow.
And hearts aren't the only things that break.

Lost in the waves
Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.Lengkap
