Still a virgin at eighteen …

I try to be a good girl. I keep my legs closed, on the college dean’s list, and I rarely get in trouble.

Then Walker strolls into my life … Tall, popular with dark hair and blue eyes I could lose myself in for days. We’re from the opposite sides of the tracks, but he wants me anyway.

I know I’m no good for him. Broken. Sick. Torn. He should stay far away from me.

But he refuses to take my warnings seriously. Instead, he shares his own secrets. Ones that break my heart and make me fall in love with him.

It never occurs to me to keep him—us—a secret. To protect what I cherish most.

By the time I understand that critical piece, it’s too late. Now I’m on the verge of losing him forever …
