Upside Down
Summary
If You Never Get Lost, You'll Never Be Found Twenty-one-year-old Natalia Stolfi is saying good-bye to the past - and turning her life upside down with a trip to the land down under. For the next six months, she'll act like a carefree exchange student, not a girl sinking under the weight of painful memories. Everything is going according to plan until she meets a brooding surfer with hypnotic green eyes and the troubling ability to see straight through her act.

But when Bran gets a stark reminder of why he stopped believing in love, he and Talia must decide if what they have is once in a lifetime...or if they were meant to live a world apart.

Summary
It was only meant to last the summer.... Talia Stolfi has seen more than her share of loss in her 21 years.

But as much as Talia longs to give herself over completely to a new beginning, the fears of her past are still lurking in the shadows. Bran Lockhart knows that living without the beautiful girl who stole his heart will be torment, so he'll take whatever time with her he can. But even though she has packed up her life in California and is back in his arms for the time being, she can't stay forever. And the remaining time they have together is ticking by way too fast. Though fate seems determined to tear them apart, they won't give up without a fight - because while time may have limits, their love is infinite.... Book two in the Off the Map series
