True love knows no boundaries, it sees no color, even if that love is forbidden.
Believing that got Eden’s mom, Echo killed at the age of sixteen, and the identity of Eden’s father was one of many secrets she took to the grave. Instead of moving on, Echo’s soul moved in. With her mother’s presence in her body, Eden can feel Echo’s emotions and hear her thoughts. When Eden tells, pseudo father, Uncle Daryl, about the voice in her head, it takes her down a road that leads to a diagnosis of multiple personalities. Now at seventeen, Eden has a secret love affair of her own with Drew. If Uncle Daryl ever found out the consequences would rip them apart, but that’s the least of Eden’s problems. As new clues surface surrounding her father’s identity, Eden finds herself on a dangerous path that could answer her paternity questions and the mysteries of her mother’s death, but at what cost? Eden can feel the weight of the secrets Echo keeps from her—secrets that have Echo’s killer returning after seventeen years with a mind to make history repeat itself.
Exclusive Excerpt!
“You’re too far away,” he said, pulling at the sleeve of my baseball tee a
little harder.
Heat rose in my cheeks, and a ball of fuzzy flutter overtook
my stomach. I wiggled across the windshield and ended up exactly where I wanted
to be—comfortably settled in his arms. Dad was determined to make sure I kept
my virginity intact until I was married, by all means necessary. The temptation
that was Drew might very well make him fail. With all my physical reactions to
his nearness and the presence of my overbearing morals, it made me question my
affections and urges. Were they the real deal? What if they were simply
Wonderlust, yet another doubt good ol’ Dad had drilled in my head when I was
barely starting to look like a woman instead of a young girl. He’d said, “Any
feelings you think are love before you turn twenty-one aren’t really love.
They’re just lust.” I reined in the lustful, curiosity, and the
feeling of shame that quickly followed.
If Dad could hear my thoughts, I’d definitely be a goner. The
thought trotted through my mind, and I mentally shivered over the possibility.
But he can’t, and I won’t say anything if you decide to
bend his little rule. What’s life without a little rebellion?
I inwardly rolled my eyes and directed my thoughts toward
the same place.
Echo, even if you wanted him to, he wouldn’t hear you,
because only I can, remember? You exist only in my head. Besides, the reason
Dad is so strict is because of what happened to you. He is terrified your
history will repeat itself with me. Talk about living in someone else’s shadow.
You and I are nothing alike.
You know what they say, Eden, “Great minds...”
At that, I laughed mockingly within the confines of my head. Unlike
you, Echo, I’m responsible and think things through. You didn’t then and still
don’t.
I am too responsible, Echo whined, and I
do think things through. You wouldn’t be here with this boy right now if I
hadn’t.
Oh, you did, the resentment I felt toward her
rolled through me, sweeping any tact I may have used with her swiftly
away, then why are you dead, Echo?
My challenge was met with silence—I sensed her withdraw into
the deeper recesses of my mind and instantly felt guilty, something I knew she
felt too because of how our emotions were tethered and intertwined.
