    About this ebook

    ALYX

    My life is a mess.

    I'm only twenty-two years old, and it's been a mess for four years already. Every plan I had made for my future fell apart the day tragedy hit. Every dream I had found a new place in the smallest, most hidden corner of my mind. Responsibilities replaced them, and now it seems like that's all my life is made of. And I've come to accept that reality. I don't like it, but I accept it.

    Until Noah drops anchor in the small town I never left and gives me a taste of what my life could be.

    His smile and his intensity have my heart begging me to get closer, even though I know that I have no business wanting him. He makes me feel alive again, but I can't let my heart lead the way if I don't want to experience any more heartbreak. The problem is, I'm not sure that just one taste of this man will be enough.

    NOAH

    I swore off relationships a long time ago.

    The painful heartbreak brought on by the betrayal of the person you worship isn't worth years of love, if you ask me. Especially when it turns out that that love was nothing but a lie all along. Now, I live on my boat, travel around and write my songs, and that's all I need.

    Until one of my stopovers. When I cross paths with her.

    I look into Alyx's beautiful, sapphire eyes and see the tinge of sadness despite the smiles easily brightening her face. She's gorgeous. She's also so sweet that I could let myself get attached without a second thought, if I didn't know better. It's always been easy for me to leave any town I've dropped anchor in, and I keep reminding myself how easy it will be to leave at the end of the summer. But it doesn't matter how many times I repeat that thought to myself, I already know it won't be. But that doesn't stop me from wanting her.
