Blurb:
Sixteen-year old Peyton Jones had it all:
straight A's in school, the perfect boyfriend, and nothing to worry about but
keeping her GPA up. Then one night her perfect world is suddenly ripped away
from her. Everything she has ever known changes and she goes from having a
perfect plan to watching her world crumble around her.
Steve Gibbons was the quarterback of his
high school football team...until the new guy showed up and stole his spot,
causing him to lose his chance at a scholarship. Football was his life and now
he feels like he has nothing.
Drawn together after losing hope for their
futures, Peyton and Steve become best friends, but as they grow closer, a
colossal secret is revealed changing everything. Will Peyton be left to face
her inevitable future alone, or can she trust enough to let someone else in?

EXCERPT:
I froze, too afraid to move. The steps began to get louder as each second
passed. My heart was pounding to its own quick rhythm. A hand grasped my
shoulder and I squeezed my eyes shut expecting the worse. I began to quiver
uncontrollably, wanting to scream, to run as hard as I could, but my feet were
frozen. I could only stand there as my tears mixed with the rain pouring over
me.
The grip was released, and suddenly an arm snaked around my back turning me in
the opposite direction. I couldn’t muster up the courage to look at the person
helping me. I could only assume it wasn’t Aaron. Whoever it was had too gentle
of a touch. Yet instead of feeling relief a sense of nausea washed over me.
Granted, I was momentarily safe, but the emotions coursing through me had made
it—for a brief moment—feel like it was happening all over again.
I didn’t want to be vulnerable in front of anyone who could take advantage of
me. With my heart going 100 miles per hour in my chest, I tried to push away
from the person and nothing happened. They didn’t budge and their grip around
me was too strong. After many deep breaths, I got the courage to glance up into
eyes the color of emeralds—eyes filled with concern. My legs gave out and I
sagged in his arms. Steve didn’t hesitate. He slowly lowered me to the wet
asphalt and sat there while I sobbed into his already wet shirt.
