A summer vacation is supposed to be easy. Late nights, blurred lines, and memories that stay exactly where they belong.
Madeleine knows how to play the part. Around her family, she is composed, careful, and untouchable. At night, she becomes someone else. A girl who doesn't owe anyone the truth.
Elliot was never supposed to be more than a moment. A spark meant to burn out by morning. But he watches too closely. Asks the wrong questions. And refuses to let her disappear the way she always does.
What begins as a vacation fling turns into something dangerous because some lies aren't meant to last, and some people don't like being kept in the dark.
Especially him.

The Unbreakables (BWHM)
Two weeks had passed since my parents had come to the Bahamas and we still knew absolutely nothing. They even offered up a large reward to anyone who had information about Miah's disappearance. All that had gotten us was numerous fortune hunters and a bunch of false leads which wasted everyone's time. My days were spent scouring the island with Miah's picture, but the outcome was always the same, no one had seen her. I tried to call Caleb right after Miah disappeared but I was told by his business partner that he had flown out of the country on an emergency deal and wasn't expected back for the next few weeks. That struck me as odd because he and Miah were supposed to be married the weekend after her disappearance. So I left a message with his partner to have him call as soon as possible. I'm still waiting on Caleb's call.Complete
