PROLOGUE

Sixteen-year-old Ellie Donovan knows what she wants - good grades at her new private school, a college scholarship, and, hopefully, lasting memories in the city on the coast where she moves with her adoptive mom.

Aiden Kennedy hides too many secrets for a seventeen-year-old guy. He needs to keep his head above water and carry on until his coming of age. Aiden has no other choice. Too much is at stake.

When Ellie meets Aiden on the first day of classes, both their lives are bound to change in a way they have never expected, making them question everything they thought they knew about themselves and the people around them.
