Mia
Lee has a secret…
A secret she’s kept hidden since she was eight years old, however, Mia will no longer allow that secret to define her.
An irrevocable decision has left Mia Lee a fugitive and on the run—a circumstance that should leave her weak and scared, yet Mia has never felt so alive.
Under the pseudonym of Paige Cassidy, Mia is ready to live the life she’s never had, and she’s determined not to allow her tainted past dictate her promising future.
Paige is on a Greyhound bus heading from L.A. to South Boston, Virginia, to start a new life. A life that includes finding her mother, who abandoned her at age three. But what she finds, is four people, who will change her life forever.
Yet no one can outrun their past…
Especially one filled with bitter memories, which refuse to remain hidden.

Excerpt
It feels effortless. And it feels right.
We stay hugging for a few moments, and
as I nestle closer to his chest, surrounded by his smell, I know that I’m in
trouble. I have feelings for someone who is going to be really, really hard to
say goodbye to when the time comes. But when did this happen? When was the
exact moment my world got tipped on its axis, and shaken up beyond repair?
I should have stopped it, but who am I
to stand in the way of something that was inevitable?
The sound of Quinn’s heart beating
steadily against my ear is comforting, and if I close my eyes really tight, I
can pretend that I’m just a normal girl, being wrapped up in the arms of her
normal…boyfriend? But make believe is for dreamers, and I’m a realist. I
will enjoy the here and now because I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
