Ryan Kessworth could have any girl he wanted. So what does he want with me? My home became a prison made of terror and lies. The only way to survive was to play by my stepfather’s vile rules. Twisted. Secret. And it worked—until the authorities shipped me off to The Overlook. And then he showed up. Kess’ icy-blue eyes, easy grin, and grinding guitar riffs make him a star on stage. But behind the scenes, his love life is a dumpster fire of one-night stands. And I want no part of it. Vannessa Yi is out of my league. So why can’t I get her out of my head? I just lost the only father I ever knew. But I kept it together long enough to get Ty the help he needed. After he left, I smothered my own heartbreak in nameless women. Silent. Damaged. And it worked—until visiting day at The Overlook. And then she showed up. Vann is Hali’s best friend and completely off-limits. Beautiful, brainy, and unlike anybody I’ve ever known, she has no idea how tempting she is. And I have to make her mine. The Sea At Dawn is a slow burn New Adult romance. A rock star, a good girl, and a summer of angst, self-discovery, and steam.
