Book Description
When her father drags her to a new life in Wyoming, Aspen Brand doesn’t expect to fall for a cowboy named Kyle Thacker—but she does. At seventeen, Aspen and Kyle share unexpected ground: guitar, running, physics. And guilt. Aspen blames herself for her mother’s car accident, while Kyle can’t find a way past his brother’s suicide.
On their first date they open up to each other, forging an unbreakable bond between them. But Kyle has spent two years living with a vicious secret—one his ex-girlfriend will do anything to protect—and sharing his truth with Aspen makes her a target. Now if Kyle is to be her love story, Aspen must first win the fight of her life.
About the Author
Mechelle Morrison loves language--she's always wished she could speak and write them all. She lives for chocolate, lazy summer days, spontaneously funny things . . . and family. She's sort of scared of dogs.
When she's not reading or writing or wandering the world, she can be found in her backyard in Utah with her husband, their daughter and the bevy of quail that live behind their garage.
If she didn't write she'd make stop-motion animation shorts. So she does that anyway.
EXCERPT 1
It’s
been four weeks since I poured my heart against Kyle’s sleeve. Four weeks since we gave each other a full
body hug on the front porch of my house.
That day had me feeling so good about things: about Mom and life, about
going on. But since that day Kyle and I
have hardly spoken.
I
don’t get it.
He frowns through class, with
his head down. No more poetic
insights. No thoughtful answers. When we cross paths in the hall he says, “Hey
Aspen,” and keeps on walking, pretending he can’t see the questions burning in
my eyes. It’s pathetic, but the more he
ignores me the more I listen to his music on YouTube, feeling stupid for
telling him about my mom, stupid for falling apart in his arms. I hate how inside I seem broken, like telling
Kyle the truth has come back to mock me, shredding my new-found happiness with
the same precision a magpie exhibits for road kill.
