Exiled at 17 A millionaire at 21 Alone except for my girls The Green Street Girls That’s what we called ourselves, me, Charlie, Gwyn & Indigo Each of us sent away, left alone in the world until we found each other I’m Athena and this is my story Tru walked into my pool hall like he owned the place Long and lean, with a killer smile and a confident walk I wanted him. Instantly. And I had him But Tru wasn’t the kind of guy you could screw and forget No, he had staying power And he worked his way under my skin Into my heart In no time he had me doing something I thought myself incapable of, Falling in love What the hell do I do now?

Runaway. Nerd. Girl genius. Weirdo. Victim. I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, by a lot of different people. But the name that meant the most to me? Green Street Girls. That’s what we called our little family, Me, Athena, Gwyn & Charlie. Each of us, alone in the world until we found each other. I’m Indigo and this is my story. Gideon stormed into my life like a big, broad-shouldered guardian angel. Quiet with kind eyes and a steady presence that made me feel at ease. He was my friend. My protector. My first…everything. We were on the precipice of something great. Something new and exciting. Until a threat made me doubt myself, and everyone around me. To win him back, I’ll have to be something no one ever accused me of being before. Brave.
