Trisha can’t decide if she should turn and run from Rusty or give him the chance to explain his half truths and full lies. She’s opened herself up to vulnerability, while he’s remained closed off and fed her stories that have come back to bite him.
And not only her lack of trust is tearing them apart, but there are others who seem to want to bring them down—out of spite or jealousy. They know their desires are anything but safe, forbidden by the school and scorned by the students.
When Rusty comes clean about his lies, Trisha starts getting her confidence back that she’s heading down the right path. That he could be the one for her, and her for him. Will they be able to weather this storm or will the seas be too rough? Will the rumors end up being their demise, or will their forbidden desires be strong enough even for the ugliest attack?
