Untellable has arrived! It's an exciting new Young Adult romantic suspense novel. The cover by Kim Jacobs is fabulous.
What's the story behind the book Untellable?
Aspen Dwyer, recently emancipated from foster
care, is searching for a place to hide from a past with secrets too dark to
share. Honey Creek, Ohio, presents itself as the best place to start a new life
and stay undercover. There she meets Colton Moraine, a man with strong family
ties and an even stronger sense of loyalty. His boisterous, loving family
welcomes Aspen with warmth she hasn’t felt in years. She’s surprised at how
quickly and deeply she falls for Colton. When a dangerous criminal comes to
Honey Creek, intent on his revenge against her, Aspen must choose between two
options. Should she stay and risk her life and the rejection of the people
she’s grown to love? Or should she run again, and leave behind any chance of a
happy future?
Read an excerpt here:
“Tell me how the new job is working out for you.” I knew this was
more than just small talk. Margot was evaluating me.
“It’s fine.” I nodded. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed working at
the lodge. “Linda is a super boss. Even though I hurt my ankle the first day,
she still took me in. She’s having her nephew help me learn to drive. She has a
wonderful family. Of course, you know all that already.” I stopped babbling to
take another sip of my latte before going on. “I really want to do well for
her. I think she cares more about me than my last four sets of foster parents
did, and she’s only my employer.”
“Linda’s always had a heart the size of Texas,” Margot agreed.
“She’ll stand behind you and support you in whatever you want to do.” She made
a note on a form and shoved it back into a manila folder. “Now, off the
record.” She clicked her pen shut and slid it into her purse. “How are you
really? Do you feel safe?”
I considered her questions for a moment before answering. “I don’t
think I remember what safe is supposed to feel like anymore. It’s comfortable
with Linda and working at the lodge.”
Did safe mean I could
sleep at night, resting easy, trusting no one would come to get me in the
darkness? Did it mean not having to look over my shoulder everywhere I went?
Did it mean not worrying if the person who gave life to me was waiting for the
day he could kill me?
“I guess I feel as safe as can be expected.”
Margot waited, her expectant eyes boring into mine.
“You said Rick will never think of looking for me in a tiny town
like Honey Creek.” Rick didn’t deserve the title of dad, father, or anything
else indicating a relationship between him and me. As far as I was concerned,
he was just the sperm donor.
“He won’t look there. He’ll be concentrating on the bigger towns.
Columbus, Cincinnati, places where jobs are more plentiful.”
I shook my head. “Do you think I should try to move out of state?”
“Don’t leave Ohio.” Margot reached across the café table and
grabbed my fingers. “I won’t be able to help you if you move far away. Besides,
haven’t you heard of hiding in plain sight?”
Can't wait to read it?
Happy reading!
