Allie has always been the outsider-the reckless sister, the addict, the one who doesn't belong. Ben has always been the untouchable one-her brother's best friend, her sworn enemy, the boy she should never want.
But one weekend at the lake, a single kiss shatters years of sarcasm and distance. Now trapped between guilt, desire, and secrets that could break their friend group apart, Allie and Ben find themselves pulled into something neither can resist-and neither can survive without consequences.
A tense, addictive story about forbidden attraction, self-destruction, and the lines we swear we'll never cross.

What the waves remember
⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains sensitive themes, including childhood sexual abuse (not graphically depicted), addiction, mental illness, and emotional trauma. These topics are explored with care and are not meant to glorify or romanticize harm in any form. What the Waves Remember is a raw, emotionally charged family novel about love, loyalty, and the unspoken damage that lingers beneath the surface. Ava Portwood has always been the dependable one-her mother's helper, her brothers' quiet anchor, and the daughter who never disappoints. She's studying to be a nurse, trying to keep everything afloat while their mother slowly loses her battle with cancer. Her twin brother, Sam, was once the pride of their small coastal Florida town: a gifted surfer, a golden boy with a magnetic smile and Olympic dreams. But after a career-ending injury at seventeen, he spiraled into addiction and self-destruction, leaving behind a trail of wreckage-and questions no one dared to ask. Now, freshly out of rehab and back home only because their mother is dying, Sam is a hardened, quieter version of who he used to be, and the house feels smaller with all of them under one roof again. As old tensions rise and family secrets fester, Ava tries to hold together what's left of their fractured world. But the summer has only just begun, and nothing stays buried forever-not grief, not guilt, and certainly not the truth.
