BOOK DESCRIPTION:
All I’ve ever wanted was for someone to choose me. My mother didn’t. My father didn’t. The beautiful boy next door, who grew up to marry me, didn’t. Neither did the next man with whom I thought my heart was safe.
Back in the Bay area, three thousand miles from New York City, I can start fresh. Become one with the sea again, rise or fall on the tide of my own choices. But on the first day of my bright new life, the darkest shadows of my past follow me through my office door. The two men whose names are definitely not on my five-year plan.
If I let it consume me—my need for one man, my love for the other—the darkness will swallow me whole. I can’t let that happen. Not again. This time, the waves of emotion crashing against my heart won’t drown me. This time, I get to choose my happy ending.

EXCERPT
Harrison: Where are you?
Scott: San Francisco.
Harrison: Why am I not surprised? Are you and Hazel getting back together?
I snort. That’s the plan, but there’s a complication.
Scott: I’m working on it.
Harrison: If I could, I’d talk some reason into her, but … you fucked up, and I can’t help you.
No one can help me. I let out a long, frustrated breath. Harrison is her best friend. They are so similar. According to him, I have a hefty price to pay before she forgives me. Then, I must grovel, and maybe we will salvage something. At least, that’s what he said after Christmas.
Scott: It’s back to square one. I have to remind her how great we are together.
Harrison: That puzzles me. That the two of you fit just right. You are so different. And yet, you stayed together for a long time.
He’s right. On the surface, we don’t look compatible. However, deep down we fit perfectly. Like a key in its lock, I belong to her. It’s in the way she makes me feel. The yearning when she’s away. The joy I experience when she’s steps away from me. She holds the power in our relationship, not me.
Scott: I regret being a coward, and letting her slip out of my hands knowing that this day would come. The day she’d move back to San Francisco and see the boy she fell in love with since they were kids.
Harrison: Well, you better apply yourself before she sees him.
Jesus, I rub the back of my neck. What am I doing here?
Scott: This might be a lost battle. She already saw him.
Found by Claudia Y. BurgoaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is absolutely beautiful. Claudia's writing always makes me feel, but this story really hit me. My heart was twisted and healed all in the same story. I adore the main character Hazel. I will be honest when I say I am usually pretty hypocritical in judging the female characters in a story more than the male characters. However, Hazel has to be one of my favorite female characters I have read in a long time. She is so upbeat and fun, despite everything that she deals with and everything she has been through. I love her strength, her independence, and her ability to stay positive.
I have had the privilege of reading this story in a few different incarnations so I thought that I knew what to expect from the story. I thought that I knew what outcome I would like with the story. I was so incredibly wrong. Claudia so surprised me with the direction of the story and the characters. I ended up being so much more torn than I thought I would, but I was hit with how much it is so much more than what is on the surface. This story really deals with a lot of issues and struggles that you don't always see and I thought it was handled so perfectly.
There is so much I want to say about this book, but I don't want to give anything away. I loved everything about this story and Claudia really created an amazing story that is definitely one of my top stories already of the year. I can't wait to read what she will bring us next.
