New Adult Romance (second edition) asks, Is following your heart worth having it broken?

Seventeen year-old Chelsea Davenport is winding up the summer before her senior year at her sister Charley's engagement party. Life is good and uncomplicated in the mountains. She is looking forward to starting school, applying to colleges, dancing again, and all the other things that go with high school...except the boys. Chelsea is sick of boys. And then Kyle Davis appears at the party and turns her world upside down.

There is one person out there who can save your life and change it forever.
When Kyle Davis returns to Snowy Ridge, North Carolina, adrift in a sea of anger and depression following the death of his sister, his banishment to a boys' school, and ultimately the suicide of his father, he has given up on everything, until he reconnects with Chelsea, an old childhood friend who knows the truth about what has happened to him. At first she doesn't realize he is just as thunder-struck by her, but then his feelings become clear. Chelsea isn't the only girl who wants football player Kyle, and the local mean girl, Elle, is loaded for bear and ready to take on anyone to have Kyle for herself. So, who will win his heart? As Kyle begins to fall for Chelsea, she learns a secret that could destroy their relationship. Is the heartache over for Kyle? Can Chelsea help him while remaining true to herself and what she believes? The One is a poignant tale of dealing with loss, coming of age, and exploring first love.
The One is the first in a four-part series of romance novels set in both the mountains and the coast of North Carolina.
