My secret has been kept for ten years . . . my time is up. I’m in the small town of Ravish Oregon where nobody can hide. I’ve come here for a reason and I’m not going to run anymore . . . even with . . . complications. My world is full of secrets and power that people want to pretend doesn’t exist. I’m the girl from a respectful family, the girl photographed, the girl who is envied. If only all of those people knew the truth of what happened behind closed doors of the perfect world that was crafted for me. They wouldn’t be jealous anymore. None of that matters now. That’s my past. I’ve paid my price and now I just want to be free. I want what was taken from me. I was shrouded in a world of darkness and now I’m a new woman with a purpose no one will stop me from getting. Some might judge me for doing what I needed to do to survive, but that’s okay. I don’t care. My past is wiped clean, but the things that happened will forever haunt me. I know that as much as I don’t want to think of my past, I’d be a fool to think it can’t ever hurt me . . . I know too much. I also want what was taken from me. Am I a fool? Maybe. Who can I trust? Nobody. Especially not . . . him . . . ***** I’ve always preferred to be alone, not needing the complications of friendships, and especially not needing to deal with relationships. I’m Greyson River and I get my needs met without emotional ties. I can tell within a few words the women I need to steer clear of. That is until I meet Trinity, and my life becomes an endless rollercoaster ride. I tell myself I’ll get in and out . . . at least that’s the plan. I have a job to do, and once it’s done, I can walk away from Trinity and never look back. That’s the way this is supposed to happen. The thing is, though, once I see her . . . there’s no doubt my world is about to change. You see, life doesn’t ever go the way we want it to. Trinity and I would’ve never met in normal circumstances . . . but neither of our lives are ordinary. Our paths do cross . . . and nothing will ever be the same again. A lot of secrets are going to come to the surface that many in power don’t ever want to see the light of day . . . Will I choose my job or the girl? I don’t know . . . I don’t know anything anymore. I do know I can’t walk away...
