About The Secret
Secrets… they can make or break you.
I would
know. I’m hiding the biggest secret of all. My scars are so much more than skin
deep. They consume me, control me.
Then I meet
him, Clark Jefferson. Six foot two inches of greek god hotness, with a smile
that’ll make your panties disappear. He wears a clear warning label:
Heartbreaker, and if I was smart I would stay away from him.
With my
past, my secrets nothing could ever come of being with a man like him. Still I
cannot ignore the feelings he stirs inside me. He frightens me and excites me
all at once.
He makes me
want to break free of the suffocating fear that claims my heart.
Our meeting
isn’t fate though, he needs me as much as I need him, and so we strike a deal.
He’ll be my
fake boyfriend and I’ll help him get out of trouble with his dad.
But secrets
can’t remain secrets forever and as I grow closer to Clark my feelings for him
grow too. Soon the line between fake and real blurs and when the past I’ve been
running from finally catches up with me I’ll have to confess to Clark the truth
or let go of a love that was only ever supposed to be fake.
Exclusive Excerpt
“Please don’t look at me like that…” I slur.
“Please leave… just… leave me alone,” she pleads and my heart
breaks at her words. That’s what my mom used to tell me. She asked me to leave
her alone and I listened to her. Maybe if I hadn’t listened to her and listened
to my gut instead she would still be here, alive.
“I won’t leave you,” I tell her, shaking my head, determination
coating my words. “But please don’t look at me like I’m going to hurt you.
Please, don’t be scared of me.”
“You’re dunk,” she points out and that wild look in her eyes
overtakes her features now. She continues taking small steps backwards,
retreating further into the room, further away from me. I want her close, in my
arms, safe, secure. It’s the strangest, but truest emotion I’ve ever felt
before.
“Yes… I had something to drink, but that doesn’t change the fact
that I would never hurt you. I can control myself,” I sigh and set the plate
down on top of the dresser
“You’re scaring me,” she admits, her voice small and shaky. I
don’t know who hurt her, but in that moment I vowed to myself to find out. I
will find out who did this to her and then I will make them pay. It’s obvious
she was powerless, weak, but she’s not anymore. She has me now, and I’ll
protect her, defend her till my last breath. I know this without even thinking.
Holding my hands up, with my palms showing, I try to calm her like
I would a scared animal. “You don’t have to be scared of me. Not ever,” I
assured her. “I just want… I want you to feel safe. You don’t have to be scared
here. I promise I’ll keep you safe. No one will hurt you, least of all me.”
