A Hidden Truth
Rory McCauley-Hayman
Jaxon Boone is a hard-working, serious, driven man. He's moving back to Texas after living in Idaho for the last thirteen years. His family has welcomed him back to Kotter's Folly while he readjusts to the social and actual climate. All he wants is to focus on himself and his future, but his family, and fate, has other plans.
Juniper Fordyce tolerates absolutely no backbiting, insults, or gossip. She's only weeks away from graduation and leaving Kotter's Folly, and all its torments, behind. Soon, she'll be in control of her life for the first time in years and far away from her stepfather and his sick interests. There might even be a chance for love, one day.
As fate works to pull these two closer, everything else tries to keep them apart. They're haunted by their hidden selves. Her collection of other people's secrets. His interests that lie all too close to those of her stepfather.
Growth, trust, and understanding are the only paths to their happiness. But will they ever find it? Can two smart people get out of their heads enough to see what's right in front of them? Can they learn to communicate on the same wavelength? Or will everything disappear before they can fully grasp it?
