Summary
Heather Marsden and Cody Stevens have been
an item since their first year of high school. With their future planned and
their college graduation within reach, Cody gets devastating news from his
doctor. Heather must now cope with the knowledge that she might lose the man
who was supposed to be her forever.
While trying to come up with a grand final
birthday surprise for him, Heather ends up befriending the new girl in town.
Suzanne Cross lives a hippie life full of color and extravagance, seemingly
without a care in the world. In truth, she’s all alone and hides a
secret.
Heather’s new friend is something more than
human, but how far will she be willing to go to save Cody? Just how much faith
in “love” can she muster?
EXCERPT
A few minutes into class, the door opened
and a tall, dark-haired beauty rushed in, apologizing to the teacher with an
innocent smile. The girl rushed across the room and slid into the seat right in
front of Suzanne, who found herself staring and not caring one bit that she
was. The purple aura around the newcomer was comforting . . .
welcoming.
With a soft sigh, the girl dropped her bag
before rummaging around in it for something. She finally found what she’d been
after—a hairpiece—and as she straightened up and twisted the satiny lengths of
her onyx hair into a messy bun, Suzanne was hit with a wave of sweet
scent.
The smell reminded her of the
beach—coconuts and limes. Surprisingly, she found herself leaning forward to
try and sniff the girl who chose that moment to turn around, her pretty brown
eyes widening at Suzanne’s proximity.
“Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to startle you,”
she whispered and though her voice shook, she pressed on. “Hi, I’m Suzanne
Cross. I just transferred here and well, I’m having a party on Friday to try to
get to know some people . . .” The words rambled out while she pushed a flyer
toward the girl, trying to cover her inappropriate sniffing. What the
hell? Suzanne didn't do girls, but something about this girl was
calling to her.
The girl didn't grunt. She didn't give
Suzanne a noncommittal nod either. Instead, she took the flyer, looked it over,
and then looked up at Suzanne with a brilliant smile.
She couldn't help thinking how very
beautiful the girl was and her head was having a hard time wrapping around
that.
“Nice to meet you, Suzanne,” she whispered
back. Her breath was tinted with a minty scent. “I’m Heather. This sounds
great, but I need to check my calendar. I might have something going on,” she
said politely before turning back around to pay attention to the history
professor.
Suzanne had to give the girl credit for at
least being amiable. She was the first person to speak to her all day—even if
it had been a tactful dismissal. It hadn't escaped Suzanne’s notice that most
of the invitations she’d distributed throughout the day were left behind on
seats, or even blatantly wadded up and tossed in the trash when people left the
classrooms.
Class ended an hour later, and Suzanne was
beyond ready to get home and light up. There was a shitload of homework to
tackle, but it could wait a little bit until she’d mellowed. She was gathering
her things when Suzanne felt a tap on her shoulder. Looking up, she was met
with Heather’s sweet face.
“Hey, Suzanne, I just wanted to ask, if I
can make it, is it okay if I bring my boyfriend? Friday’s his birthday and it
would be awful of me to ditch him.” Heather let out a cute giggle, and she
found herself smiling despite the absurdity of her reaction.
