I wanted to tell him all
my secrets, but he became one of them instead.
BLURB
Chloe Rivers never thought she
would keep secrets from her best friend. Then again, she never imagined she
would fall in love with him either. When she finally reveals her feelings,
rejection shatters her, rendering her vulnerable and sending her straight into
the destructive arms of the wrong guy.
Gavin Rhodes never saw the
betrayal coming. It crushes him. Chloe has always been his forbidden
fantasy–sweet, tempting, and beautiful. But when the opportunity finally
presents itself, he makes the biggest mistake of all and denies her.
Now it’s too late . . .
Four years after a devastating
tragedy, Chloe and Gavin’s world’s collide and they find their lives entangling
once again. Haunted by the past, they are forced to come to terms with all that
has transpired to find the peace they deserve. Except they can’t seem to get
near each other without combatting an intense emotional connection that brings
them right back to where it all started . . . their childhood treehouse.
Chloe still holds her secrets
close, but this time she isn’t the only one with something to hide. Can their deep-rooted connection
survive the destruction of innocence?

EXCERPT:
My entire body ached the moment I
tried to move, so I stopped trying. I groaned and peeled an eye open, trying to
understand why this morning felt so different from all the others.
When I saw the matching sets of green eyeballs peering over the
ladder, one glaring and one questioning, I wanted to scream, but the air in my
throat went the other direction. I gasped and propelled myself backward into
the furthest corner of the alcove.
“Do you think she’s homeless?” asked Eyeballs Number One.
Eyeballs Number Two shook his head as he scanned my body. “Maybe
she ran away from home.”
“Yeah, or maybe she’s a troll that lives in the woods. Are we
supposed to feed her?”
“I didn’t bring any food. Did you?”
One of the boys threw his eyes around the room, as if afraid to
look away from me for long. “No. We should tell dad we need a fridge.”
“And how will we keep it cold, moron?”
“Hey! I’m not a moron!”
While the boys fought, I managed to creep forward until I gripped
the edge of the bed with every intention to slip down undetected.
But Eyeballs Number One saw me and placed an arm out across the
other boy’s body. “Shh. She’s moving.”
My grogginess cleared, replaced by a rush of adrenaline as I
stared back at the twin boys—the boys whose treehouse I’d snuck into the night
before. At this realization, I straightened with a jolt. “I-I have to get
home.” Panic seized my chest knowing my parents would be frantic looking for
me.
Eyeballs Number Two nudged the other. “She has a home, bro.”
I bit my lip to hide my smile, happy they no longer considered me
a possible troll. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to—” I didn’t know why I was about to
lie, so I stopped myself. I totally meant to fall asleep there. I just didn’t
mean to get caught.
“Wait!” one of them called as I headed for the ladder. I turned to
see the curious one staring back at me with a sincere expression. “Are you
okay?”
All I could do was nod. How could I tell two boys I didn’t know
the reason for invading their sanctuary—that I had been watching them for
weeks, envious of their home in the woods? Instead of saying another word, I
found the ladder and moved down it, missing the last few steps in my haste. The
moment I hit the ground, I accepted the impact with a grimace and took off at a
sprint through the woods and toward my bedroom window. I climbed inside just as
I heard my mom calling me for breakfast.
