When You Were Mine

A novel about first love, formative moments, and the forever that lives in between.
Seventeen-year-old Serena Yorke has always found comfort in painting, the ocean, the quiet beach that overlooks her coastal town. She's content to live behind the scenes, especially now, with her mother's passing changing the life she knew.
Then Carter Eldridge crashes into her world. Restless eyes, and a heart full of secrets. He's the kind of boy who makes you believe in love again. The kind who doesn't care what anyone thinks. The kind who teaches you to live like there's no tomorrow.
As the school year passes by, their love grows-fast, fierce, unforgettable. Serena dreamed about a guy like Carter since she was little, and she finally feels like she found her missing piece, but when the truth of Carter's struggles come to light, she feels like she's lost two.
Powerful, and heartbreakingly beautiful, When You Were Mine is a story about how love can change us, even when it's gone.
