[SEQUEL TO COASTING]
When Jamie Prescott returns to the small beach town to live with her Aunt Monica the summer after her freshmen year at college, she's not quite sure what to expect.

With her family finally doing well back in California, going back to the North Carolina coast, her home away from home and a place that helped her find herself when everything around her was falling apart, seemed the obvious choice for how to spend her vacation.

But now that a year has passed, things have changed, and there is a chance that with everything around her finally going right, the beach town that had once been her saving grace may now be the one thing that's going wrong.All Rights Reserved

Gasp of Air by HarmonysLoveHP

When Dani agrees to drive a drunken Shane Olsen home, she assumes it's just a simple favor-one night, one ride, nothing more. But that single act pulls her into a world she never expected. As she learns more about Shane, she begins to uncover the pain and secrets he keeps buried beneath his carefully crafted exterior. In the process, she starts to see the cracks in her own life, realizing how much she has been merely surviving rather than truly living. Shane has spent years enduring neglect and abuse, learning the hard way that the people who appear perfect often hide the darkest truths. With Dani, he finds someone who sees beyond his mistakes, someone who challenges him to believe he's capable of more. But their relationship is anything but easy-tangled in struggles, unspoken fears, and the weight of the past, they fight to avoid becoming the very people who hurt them. As they grow closer, both Dani and Shane must decide if they can break free from the cycles of pain and regret that defined their parents' lives-or if they are doomed to repeat them.
