Island.

Ava Williams is anything but average. Or, at least she'd like to think she is. Having to change her school, friends, basically her life every six months has definitely taken its toll on her. Leaving places and people behind that she's barely gotten the chance to know has been hard.

But when her family moves to Honolulu, Hawaii, the scenery isn't the only thing that changes. She meets new people and definitely takes an interest on the guy who everyone in the town shuns. Why would an entire town of people turn their backs on one guy? But more importantly, what is his secret?

Keanu Nahele is a Hawaii native, eager to prove himself worthy of his people's trust. Trust, is not easy to gain, and he's lost it before he even had a chance. He spends most of his time alone with his paints, isolated from everyone else. His only company, is the self loathing he's become more than familiar with. But one day, it all changes at the sight of her. Just one look and he suddenly feels worthy again. But he's got a past with secrets. Will she run when she finds out?
