Lilac Creek by Abigail Morgan

Drifting has always been enough… until the current pulls them under.

Hazel Mae Connor has always believed she was meant for something more than her family’s dude ranch, until a dream job offer a thousand miles away forces her to decide what “more” really means. Leaving would mean starting over somewhere new. Staying would mean holding on to the life and the people she’s always loved.

People like her childhood best friend, Wade Monroe. He’s always been her rock. Steady, familiar, safe. But this summer, something between them is shifting, turning every glance and every moment into something Hazel can’t quite ignore. Something she’s not sure she’s ready to lose. 

Then there’s the journal. The one she and Wade found as kids. It reappears, mysteriously filling with song lyrics they never wrote. Lyrics that feel a little too close to the truth.
