Book Blurb
Dealing with the loss of her mother, seventeen-year-old Jessica Stone tries
to find an escape from the pain by secretly medicating herself with Xanax, but
the anxiety increases, crushing her and her grades.Then she meets Caleb Jonas, the pastor’s son at her mother’s church. Between his cute dimples and love of fast cars, Jessica is completely smitten, and the feeling is mutual. But dating a Christian boy isn’t easy. He doesn’t party, and he never goes past first base. Jessica struggles with his faith, since it makes her question her own, but for the first time since her mother’s death, she can breathe. Life is finally shifting into a state of happiness.
But that happiness shatters when Jessica catches Caleb kissing her ex-best friend—and step-brother’s girlfriend—Rachel, the girl who used to be like her sister, and the same girl who betrayed her once before.
While her stepbrother hints at a deeper connection between the two, Caleb insists it was a one-time mistake and begs forgiveness. With contradicting stories coming at her, Jessica isn’t sure who to believe, but sometimes the truth is better left undiscovered and she’s about to find out why.
Teaser 1
There's
a certain stale quality about a hospital that unnerves me. Death hovers all
around, clawing its way under my skin. The last time I had entered the hospital
was the day Mom died. I knew that day she would leave. It was as if a part of
me was slipping away with her, and I just knew.
She
had smiled at me, her thin face still beautiful. She gripped my hand in
reassurance. “Don't be scared, my love.”
Scared
wasn’t even close to what coursed through me. I couldn't survive without her. A
part of me wanted to convince her to stay, but I knew the sickness was beyond
her, and an hour later, it consumed her.
Teaser 2
When
he spoke, his gaze traveled all the way to my toes. He reached over and pushed
one of my flyaway curls behind my ear. “Counting keeps my mind busy.”
Butterflies
more potent than first day jitters fluttered in my stomach. “Busy from what?”
His
lips curled into a grin. “Thinking of you.”
He
said it like thinking of me was the most dangerous thing in the world.
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.
I
shut my eyes and savored each precious touch of his lips. He snaked his hand
around my neck, gently brushing it. Every piece of my soul connected to his.
When Caleb's lips were on mine, his hands circling my body, the world could
explode and I would still be safe.
