She's broken with guilt.
He harbors a chilling past.
It's safer if they keep their distance...
But, the echoes that linger connect them.
Returning to Hidden Pines is the last thing Allie Collins wants to do during
her final summer before college. For her, the family cabin she spent her
youthful summers in, now holds a dark memory that has haunted her every day for
the last year.
While struggling to forget her past, Allie runs into Damien, a local rebel with
secrets of his own. He's dark, dangerous and he keeps showing up when Allie
least expects him to. She has every reason not to trust him. So why does she
find herself opening up to him in a way she hasn't been able to with anyone?
As pieces of Damien’s identity emerge, answers to a rumored mystery begin to
unfold. By the time Allie unearths the secrets of Damien’s past, she realizes
just how intricately they are connected. Now she is caught in a dangerous
battle that threatens her life and those she loves.
Excerpt:
A gunshot echoed
through the cabin.
“No!” I screamed.
I threw my hands over my mouth, but it was too late. I could hear footsteps
hurrying to the stairwell door.
I bolted across
the room, stepping inside a small bedroom. Cardboard boxes were scattered
throughout the room, disheveled and disorganized.
There was nowhere
to go. I tripped my way to the corner of the room, stubbing my toe and ignoring
the throbbing pain.
I could hear the heavy footsteps descending
the stairs. Falling against the corner wall, I buried my head behind a large,
unopened box. I crouched low, too afraid to even peek around the corner.
A set of
footsteps entered the room, pausing by the entryway.
My hand clamped
back over my mouth, muffling my breaths and the scream that threatened to
escape. I wished I could quiet the pounding in my chest that was sure to give
me away.
“We know you’re
here. Come on out now, and maybe we won’t kill you.”
I didn’t move an
inch, despite the painful cramping in my thighs. I closed my eyes, leaning my
sweaty forehead against the cardboard.
A swift click
flooded the room with light.
“There you are!”
I tumbled
backwards, jumping against the wall as a very large man stalked towards me. At
the sight of me, he lowered his gun, smiling in amusement.
“Stay away from
me!” I managed to squeeze out from my dry throat. My voice sounded weak and
small. I barricaded myself in the corner, my eyes jumping from side to side,
searching in vain for an exit.
There was nowhere to go.
Quote:
“I
knew I should be scared. I was about to die—death by drowning, after all. . .
.This was my fate. Water, the conquering enemy, would have me at last, but the
fear that should have fueled me was numb—unresponsive, just like the rest of my
body.” ~ Allie
