It was the best summer of her life… and then it ended.

In high school, Ella Marshall lost her mother and her best friend on the same night. The little town of Coldstone Creek did their best to help her family move on, but Ella slipped deeper into depression with each passing day. At prom, Ella’s dreary existence was turned on its head by none other than the schools resident jokester.

Silas Thomas knows a thing or two about being the outcast. He spent much of his youth making life difficult for his parents, but when a practical joke goes sideways and Silas finds himself on the run from the police on prom night, he falls head first into Ella’s lap… literally. She’s the only thing between him and a stint in community service, so she covers for him.

An instant connection forms between them and an epic summer romance ensues. The only problem? Just when Ella is ready to tell Silas she’s fallen in love with him, he disappears without a word. Three long years pass until she sees him again, but when Silas strolls into the county library as her new tutoring pupil, those old feelings come to life again. When the truth of Silas’ departure comes to light, everything changes.

Surviving Silas Thomas is a second-chance, it was always you, sweet new adult romance with swoony kisses, everyday faith in action, and a side of comedy.
