The last place Pia wants to be is on a family vacation in a sleepy Cornish village. She's anticipating two weeks of mind-numbing boredom. Then she meets Trey, a local boy. He's absolutely gorgeous. The trouble is — he knows it. He's arrogant and egotistical, and Pia intends to avoid him at all costs. But Trey is not the kind of guy who gives up easily. When he sets his sights on Pia, her resistance is futile. It's just a holiday romance, some light-hearted fun, right? But one of them is about to discover that still waters do, indeed, run deep. When what lurks beneath the surface finally erupts, the consequences may prove to be catastrophic.

For ages 17+ due to sexual content and strong language

What a beautiful young adult romance. The path if true love doesn't run smoothly for Trey and Pia. Trey has a sad life. He is a carer for his mother who has rejected him. His father also rejected him. He has a jealous friend who tries to disrupt his relationship with Pia. After his mother attempts to end her life that on top of Pia's perceived rejection he decides life is no longer living and walks into the sea. Luckily he fails and his life moves forward. This book highlights the stress placed on young carers and the effect it has on their lives. There is a happy ever after to this story. This is a well written book which highlights some serious issues. I would give this book four stars.

Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.

She's a self-published author who loves to write new adult romance about heroes who begin as the underdog and are protective of their girl.

She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
