The First Moment — Sarah Bates

When Ryan Kelly first moved to Stevens Island, she hadn't been expecting to find a home, just a place to stay for the year before she headed off to college. But since arriving on the island she has found herself quickly accepted into the Stevens family, and has made more friends than she's ever really had her whole life. But most of all, she's met Declan MacAllister.Though he's always been a popular guy and had a lot of friends, Declan's always had a tendency of holding himself back, just a little. He's never dated, at least as far as anyone on the island knows, and he's always been somewhat aloof. One thing is for certain, though - since the moment he first set eyes on Ryan he hasn't been able to stop thinking about her, any more than she's been able to stop thinking about him. But it's more than simple attraction, and before either of them realize what's happening, they find themselves falling head on into love.And they learn that sometimes all it takes is one look, one moment, to change your life.
