Sink or Swim

Cassidy Taylor's life came to a screeching halt after the loss of both her parents and her little brother, Sawyer. Her life that was once filled with going to parties with her best friends, crush since freshman year turned boyfriend, family vacations, and typical high school drama was now nothing short of a rip current pulling her under.

Amidst Cassidy's struggle with grief and anxiety, Kieran Scott joins her friend group, his motorcycle a stark contrast to the stillness that envelopes her world. As their paths intertwine, Cassidy finds herself torn between unveiling her pain to Kieran or continuing to conceal it from those around her.

Will Cassidy manage to keep her secrets, or will Kieran unravel the delicate balance she's desperately maintaining? Loss, friendship, and unexpected connections, Cassidy learns that sometimes, letting someone in can be the first step to resurfacing from the depths of despair.
