Water, Air, Earth, Fire

Wait for me. Never let me go. I fell in love with Jackson Moreno in hell, the only two survivors trapped in a catastrophic tunnel collapse. But when rescue comes, I discover he has secrets darker than I could have guessed. He disappears from my life as quickly as he came, and I can't afford to chase after him when I have to raise my daughter alone. I fell in love with Jackson Moreno six years later, on a bright summer afternoon, cleaning the lobby of a small-town bank. But he's still running, and I'm struggling to keep my little family afloat. I fell in love with Jackson Moreno in three feet of snow, surrounded by garbage and filth, after we lost everything. Because sometimes a tatted bad boy and a shy dad who loves knitting are destined to be together, no matter how many years and miles and memories pull us apart. No matter how many times we have to start over. If we refuse to be broken, I believe someday we'll find each other for the last time. An epic, moving story of second chances and love that defies all odds, featuring a double gay for you relationship full of first times, hurt/comfort, a demisexual main character, and mental health representation!

Three wrongs can't make a right. I've spent six years building a life that isn't defined by my father's sins-a beautiful girlfriend, a thriving nonprofit, safe dreams that won't get me into trouble. Someone with my family's reputation can't step out of line without drawing attention, and they definitely can't coach professional swimmers. My carefully controlled world starts to unravel on my summer vacation, when a mysterious boy catches my eye. He's intoxicating, beautiful, and an incredible swimmer. His body makes me question everything about my sexuality, and his talent makes me desperate to become his coach. Too bad the only lawyer who will help me navigate the PR nightmare of opening a coaching program happens to be a rude, self-absorbed, sexy-as-sin older man who doesn't even like me. I shouldn't want either of them, but my mixed up heart wants both. When one explosive moment in an empty locker room ties all three of us together, we start down a path we can't turn back from, even as my past threatens to destroy my future. We weren't supposed to be more than a single night's mistake. I can't do anything to threaten my life's work. But I'm not sure I can live without them, either. Breaking free from the past has a cost for all three of us, but I don't know if we can afford to pay it.
