Lucy Tate is on the run. After
witnessing the brutal murder of her parents, she's spent five years in hiding
-- taking on different personas and faking her way through life. The authorities
can't be trusted, so she remains in the shadows, always one beat ahead of the
man who is forever hunting her. That is, until she meets Zach Schultz, a senior
at Monte Vista High and the one guy she can’t bear to leave. Suddenly her
natural instincts to lie, steal, and run are overshadowed by something
else...the desire to stay. It’s her
one shot at a normal life.
one shot at a normal life.
Curious by nature, Zach is immediately
drawn to the new girl at school. How can a person look both confident and
vulnerable all in the same moment? Determined to learn more about her, he tries
to get close, but is thrown into a world of lies and confusion. The only thing
that becomes apparent is that discovering the truth may get him killed.
ZACH..."This is different, you guys." I shook my head. "I mean yes, she is gorgeous. And yes, I'm attracted to her, but it's not just her looks. There's something about her. She's intriguing. It's like she's not all she appears to be or something.""You can tell that after two minutes of interacting with her? Give me a break." Elliot balled up his napkin and threw it on the table. "I know I don't know her at all yet, but I can tell there's something more there." I rubbed my bottom lip."She looks normal to me." AJ shrugged."I think she's pretty. She looks sweet, but..." Liesl turned to spy her quickly. "AJ's right. She looks like any other transfer student. What makes her so different?""It's something about her eyes. There's a story in them. I can't even explain why I think that. I just feel like she's got a lot of layers and I want to peel back every single one of them.""I bet you do." Elliot raised his eyebrows."Not like that." I threw him a droll look. "I just want to solve the mystery that is Danielle Harrison.""Dude, there is no mystery." Elliot slapped his hand lightly on the table."Yes there is. I can feel it.""Careful, Zachy, your Nancy Drew is showing." Jaeda's green eyes were large and round as she gave me a playful look."I don't care." I shrugged, confident in the truth that I really didn't."That girl over there has secrets and I'm gonna figure out what they are."
