She was hoping that her usual beach ritual would bring something to fruition and save her from her current situation. But with their junior year of college approaching, her hope was starting to feel like a pipe dream. Little did she know, her beach ritual wasn't in vain ... For what felt like an eternity, James had waited patiently for Alora's toxic relationship to dissipate as he kept a safe distance.

But soon after James was introduced to her, he realized that swooping in to save the day isn't always as easy as it seems.
