“Breathe. No one will break me. I’m strong. Breathe.
Just breathe.”
On the outside, Willow appears to have it all. She’s
beautiful, smart, from an influential family, and she dates the most popular
guy in school—Jaden. But she would walk away from it all in a second. Willow is
tormented by lies and suffocating guilt, not the hearts and flowers people
believe her life is full of.
She carries a dark secret. Plagued by nightmares and
pain, the secret dominates her life. If she hadn’t walked away. If she had
just…but she didn’t. And now she has to live with her choice. But when someone
uncovers her family’s past, they use it against her, crushing her spirit little
by little. She tells herself she just has to make it to graduation. Then she
can leave Middleton, and her secret, far behind.
When Brody transfers to Cassidy High, he turns
Willow’s life upside down. He shows her what it feels like to live again, really
live. And suddenly, she isn’t satisfied with just surviving until graduation.
She wants a normal life—with Brody—and he wants her. But the closer they
become, the more it threatens to unravel the secret she’s worked so hard to
hide.
Willow finds true love with Brody. Will she let his
love save her, or walk away from him to keep her secret safe?
