Losing Sam

Jess Miller is a focused, driven high school senior whose only goal is to get into the strict Christian college that her late mother attended. But when another student gets picked for early admission instead of her, she can see her dream slipping away. With only two months left until winter break, Jess gets one final chance to prove herself to the board of admissions by doing a volunteer project at the local rehab center. Although it'll just be one more thing to add on top of her already packed academic and athletic schedule, she's determined to make it work and secure her spot at Trinity University. That is, until she meets Sam, the charismatic and mysterious girl she's forced to volunteer with every day. With time running out and everything on the line, Jess must finally confront her inner demons and choose between what she's always known and what her heart truly wants. And she has to do it before it's too late.

Sam Hayes thought she'd moved on. It's been eight years since Jess crashed into her life before slipping away, and four years since they tore each other apart for good. Now Sam's within reach of her ultimate goal: selling her software company and proving herself in the tech industry. All she needs to do is integrate her software with a new financial firm, lock in the deal, and walk away with everything she's worked for. But on day one, everything unravels. The person overseeing the project is her childhood best friend-someone she hasn't seen since her mother's death. A living reminder of the life she barely managed to escape. And to twist the knife even deeper, that best friend just happens to be Jess's current girlfriend. Determined to stick it out, Sam forces herself to focus-until she's dragged back into Jess' orbit when they're both caught up in the whirlwind of their mutual friend, Scarlett's, wedding. Between dress fittings, late-night parties, and quiet moments that linger too long, Sam and Jess find themselves colliding once again, forced to confront the broken pieces of their past. Now, with everything she's worked toward at risk, Sam must face what she's truly willing to sacrifice-and whether a future with Jess is something she can hold onto, or something she's bound to lose all over again. This time, for good.
