When a chance to spend a summer in Paris promises her a cure to her writer's block, she packs her bags, never suspecting that the source of her darkest secret will follow her across the world.

In a story of heartbreak, humor, forgiveness and finding love, these two lost souls must face their darkest fears before they can claim their heart's desires.
But summer love can't last forever, and soon they must choose between their future and their past. Between their dreams and their love. Between their secrets, and forgiveness.

Lennon's Jinx by Chris Myers
blurb: Sometimes, you don't get to choose who you fall for...
Lennon spends most of his time raising his little
sister Currie while trying to skate through his senior year of high school. He
prefers groupies with no-strings attached but finds himself strangely attracted
to Jinx, the straight-A student in his choir.
Jinx conceals the black truth about herself from her
friends. She won't admit to them that she screwed up big time, losing her first
love and what she once held most precious. When Jinx joins Lennon's band to
nurture her love of music and ease the guilt gnawing away at her, she witnesses
Lennon battling his infamous father. While confronting his pent-up anger at his
dad, Lennon exposes vulnerabilities he had no intention of letting Jinx ever
see. Their reckless pasts may bring them together or further complicate their
messy lives.
