Two Lives to Rise

Five friends. Four love stories. One dangerous secret.
Avery, Isabella, Odina, Lee and Josie are 17, wild and the best of friends since they met at the surf camp on the small island off the coast of South Carolina. It’s the summer of their lives – until Josie suddenly disappears without a trace. Only ten years later do they begin to uncover the mystery...

Isabella is the heiress to a luxury hotel on Harbour Bridge and lives in a dream villa surrounded by nature. Her life seems perfect. But what no one knows: she is deeply unhappy and lonely. When her former friend Avery turns up on the island and starts poking into the past, Isabella’s painstakingly erected façade begins to crumble. And then there’s her new, shamelessly attractive neighbor Preston, whose construction noise robs her of sleep and sanity. Isabella can hardly bear closeness; she has spent ten years trying to forget and has kept everyone at a distance. Only Preston refuses to be intimidated by her. He encourages her to face the horrors of her past. Because only then can Josie’s fate be solved…
