Blurb:
When her parents discover she’s been sneaking out with
Isaac Robinson, the forbidden Baptist boy, Mormon girl Destiny Clark decides
it’s time to keep their relationship quiet. As their relationship moves to
shakier ground, Destiny discovers that Isaac has a terrible secret, and she is
left completely shattered.
The moment Destiny feels all hope is lost, Preston
Nelson, her longtime church friend and Isaac's bitter rival, arrives like a
beacon of light. It isn't long before two separate disasters strike for Preston
and Destiny's best friend, Hannah. As Destiny helps them through their issues,
she discovers that sometimes the best way to forget about your own problems is
to help a friend in need.
Just as her heart begins to mend and her friendship
with Preston begins to heat up, Isaac walks back into her life, threatening to
rekindle the feelings she’d hoped to bury forever. Will Destiny and Preston
find the synchrony they so desperately need, or will she find a way to forgive
Isaac and return to his outstretched arms?

Excerpt:
We
were out of snowballs, so we had to go back to our piles to restock. Then we
were all back on the field, colliding in a flurry of white. I hit Destiny right
above her ear with a huge snowball. She shrieked a feminine war cry and
clobbered me with two snowballs, one on either side of my face. My cheeks stung
with the cold, and I ran back to the fort to get more snowballs.
As
I was reaching down behind the shed to restock my supply of ammo, Destiny
barreled into me, knocking me off balance. Her arms wrapped around me, and we
fell into the snow on my side. I struggled to break free, but she had me pinned
at a strange angle. Technically, I could have thrown her off at any time, but
that would have ruined the fun.
I
howled as she shoved snow down the back of my shirt, and we rolled several
times down the slope as I struggled to get free. But her arms were locked
around my neck. And then, somehow, she was pinned under me. Every
vein in my body was on fire as I gazed into her crystal clear blue eyes. She
released her arms from her vicelike hold on my neck, and her eyes grew wide and
her lips parted slightly as though she’d just realized how close our faces
were.
I
had no idea what possessed me to do it, or when all reason had suddenly flown
from my mind, but as I leaned forward and kissed her tenderly, all I could
think about was how beautiful and pure she’d looked lying there in the snow
with her hair splayed all around her in wild waves of perfection.
Honestly, if I’d
stopped to think about what I was about to do, I never would have been able to
go through with it. I mean, come on, how many years had I imagined what it
would be like to kiss Destiny Clark? But

Hope,
excitement, anticipation, dread, and guilt. The emotions cycled through me
one-by-one as I gawked at my phone. I had another text from Hudson.
Meet me in the
woods.
Meeting
Hudson in the woods was absolutely out of the question. I typed in a quick
reply. And why would I do that?
Because you know
you want to.
I
did want to. But I was hardly willing
to admit that to myself, let alone Hudson. You wish.
So you’re too
afraid of getting caught?
No, I’ll prove it.
How?
Look for
me. I’ll meet you by the old homestead.
I
hit send and the blood rushed from my face. What the heck had I just done? I
ignored my racing heart and glanced at the clock.
