Book excerpt: You can't keep two people who are meant to be together apart for long... Lennon Davis doesn't believe in much, but she does believe in the security of the number five. If she flicks the bedroom light switch five times, maybe her new LA school won't suck. But that doesn't feel right, so she flicks the switch again. And again. Ten more flicks of the switch and maybe her new stepfamily will accept her. Twenty-five more flicks and maybe she won't cause any more of her loved ones to die. Fifty more and then she can finally go to sleep. Kyler Benton witnesses this pattern of lights from the safety of his tree house in the yard next door. It is only there, hidden from the unwanted stares of his peers, that Kyler can fill his notebooks with lyrics that reveal the true scars of the boy behind the oversize hoodies and caustic humor. But Kyler finds that descriptions of blond hair, sad eyes, and tapping fingers are beginning to fill the pages of his notebooks. Lennon, the lonely girl next door his father has warned him about, infiltrates his mind. Even though he has enough to deal with without Lennon's rumored tragic past in his life, Kyler can't help but want to know the truth about his new muse.

We've all made some disgraceful mistakes, but once we repent, we must move forward in God's grace and continue striving for perfection. Our temporary choices were not meant to permanently destroy our lives. Yes, we will suffer a few setbacks or delays, but we should never allow our visions to come to a complete halt. We must keep advancing and striving for excellence. We're all predestined for greatness in the eyes of God. His grace is what keeps us! His grace is what leads us! His grace is what saves us!When I look back over my life, I think about the people who have poured into me. I think about those who have fought for me or those who have tested me. It was those experiences, good and bad, that allowed me to become who I am today. I vow to continue to invest in myself and take the necessary time to learn who I am. I will never again allow my broken pieces to have me too afraid to walk in God's appointed grace for me. Be Blessed!

For Lauren Caldwell, the answer was: as far as necessary. She had done what she had to do to protect the one person who meant the most to her in the world-her uncle. She wasn't proud of herself, but in the end, she had protected him just as he'd always protected her. A year later, a year of being ostracized in the small Virginia town she called home, she found herself helplessly watching her worst nightmare unfold. She was alone. Until a stranger became a friend who became the glue that might finally piece together the jagged fragments of her life, of her heart. How far would you be willing to go for someone you love? Brant Matthews never wanted to fall in love again; he had worked diligently to avoid emotional entanglements at all costs. He knew what it was to lose the one you loved, to fail them so irrevocably that the entire trajectory of your life shifted. But seeing the broken look in Lauren's crystal-blue eyes, feeling that old pain flare anew and knowing from experience exactly how much she was hurting... he never stood a chance. She had him, whether she was ready to accept that or not. And when her childhood tormentor set his sights on her once more, Brant knew exactly how far he would go to keep her safe. He would die for her or kill for her. There would be no middle ground.
