One summer can change everything…
Haunted with guilt after his girlfriend’s death, Daniel Hudson has no interest in committing to anyone. At the end of the summer, he’ll be leaving Florida for a new start in college. If only he could avoid the mysterious new girl in town, who seems every bit as naive and eccentric as she looks. Trouble is, she’s hard to ignore, with her beautiful piercing eyes, pitiful-looking dog, and unsettling tendency of finding trouble.
Clover Scott lived her whole life off the grid and arrives on the Gulf coast in search of her grandparents. She never expected to nearly drown, or get caught in a hurricane, or fall in love with the boy who rescues her. Now, she has a chance to rewrite her life’s story, to finally fit in somewhere, but Daniel wants answers about her past. When the police start asking questions about the disappearance of her parents, she must make a choice: go to jail or confess her secrets—even if they might destroy her chance at a happily-ever-after.
EXCERPT
“So, I’ll see you tomorrow at
noon?”
She nodded so hard, her teeth
probably rattled. “I’d like that.”
It wasn’t like we were
arranging a date, so why did her enthusiasm make me straighten up and puff out
my chest? “We can meet at the beach next to the pier. My friends and I’ll be
surfing. You bring the preserves, and I’ll bring the stove.”
Uncertainty flickered across
her face, and her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.
I should have used her
reluctance to back out, but instead I reassured her. “We won’t be hard to find.
We’re just north of the pier, and this way we can meet on neutral territory.”
Her expression turned blank.
“You know…in case I’m
secretly a serial killer. There’s always safety in numbers.”
Her lips twitched upward, and
she laughed. The sound tinkled through the air like wind chimes on a breezy
day. “I already know you’re not a bad person.”
“Oh yeah?”
She nodded. Her unwavering
stare made me want to squirm in my shoes. “True evil can never be hidden. It’s
always there, if you know where to look. When I look at you, I see only good
things.”
I snatched my gaze away from
hers and tugged at the collar of my shirt. I wanted to know how she could talk
with such authority on the subject. I wanted to know what evil she’d seen, but
I wanted even more to escape the narrow store aisle. Warning bells pealed in my
brain. She’s crazy. Don’t get involved.

She is also a very thankful breast cancer survivor. In 2007, she joined RWA and has enjoyed the support and camaraderie of the YARWA and OIRWA writing communities. She’s participated in NaNoWriMo since 2012 and is an active supporter of the associated Young Writers Program. She is represented by super-agent Carrie Pestritto of Prospect Agency.
