I stood at the edge of the pier, watching as the waves fiercely crashed against each other.  Salt water sprayed on the cement, drenching the bottom of my frayed jeans.  I was thousands of miles away from home - yet still, my heart was content.  For the first time in months, I felt truly happy.

                                                                             ~      ~      ~

After the tragic loss of her mother, Danielle Healey decides to attend college closer to her father and his newfound family.  It is here where she meets Mason Turk, a man with big dreams and a troubled past.  Almost instantly, the two develop an unspoken bond.  Will that bond be strong enough to outlast Danielle's unaddressed emotional trauma and Mason's past?  Or will the two simply become ships in the night?

25 parts Complete
Nobody told me adulthood was going to be this way. How I constantly feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I'd imagine it feels like being stranded in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. The constant fear and panic of nothing going right. Except when I see him I feel the smallest sense of relief. I was always stuck in the sea of you, but I lost my way. And now, you won't be the one on the boat throwing me a lifevest like you've always done. That ship sailed long ago. It was up to me now to save myself. ------ Kennedy was only supposed to be gone one year. That was the plan. It's been 5. After running and hiding from her past, Kennedy comes back to town to face the world she has been trying her best to forget. While everything has changed including her, everything seems to be the same. Will she be able to confront her past including the boy next door that she just can't seem to get rid of? It's taken Cal five years to forget the girl next door. He certainly wasn't expecting his feelings to come flooding back at the moment their eyes found each other. While trying to sort his feelings for his first love, he continues to navigate the next steps of his own future. In the final installment of The Deep End trilogy, Kennedy and Cal are forced together for a wedding after years apart. The gang reunites for more shenanigans and memories while they navigate adulthood. While they have all grown and changed in some ways, has their love for each other remained? Can they navigate their way or will they be lost at sea?

[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.
