PROLOGUE

He came back - but not as the boy they remembered.

Noah Carter returned to Cousins Beach carrying scars he hides behind a carefully worn smile. Beneath the sunlit streets and salty breeze, Conrad and Jeremiah-the brothers who grew up with him-begin to notice the small cracks he tries to keep hidden. This summer, as the days stretch long and the nights grow warm, their bond will be tested like never before.
But when he mets belly's best friend Taylor everything seems to be worth it again. Maybe she's the reason to continue?

Sometimes the hardest pain is the one you hide, even under the brightest summer sky.
