Summary from Goodreads:
Brogen Mathers can’t deal with
teen drama… As an empath, she is constantly bombarded with other people’s
energies. Despite coping techniques taught by her psychologist mother, it’s
often too much to bear, forcing her to avoid most activities a typical high
school junior would enjoy. Jay Wilken won’t let his past define him… A dead
mother and an alcoholic father brought Jay to Stanton, but he doesn’t want
pity. His good looks, charisma, and friendly nature quickly win over the whole
student body, but he has his eye on one girl…Brogen. Brogen can’t believe
anyone could be so genuinely nice. It has to be an act, right? But when Jay
literally saves her from deadly jaws, she has to admit he’s exactly what he
appears, and he’s worth risking the potential emotional upheaval. “Drama” might
as well be Becca Grant’s middle name… Another newcomer to Stanton, Becca’s
blonde beauty and abundant attitude shoots her straight to the top of the
popularity charts—and she believes Jay belongs right there beside her.
Accustomed to getting exactly what she wants, she launches a relentless
mean-girl campaign to shake up Brogen and claim Jay for her own. Everything
changes with a devastating diagnosis… When Jay learns he has a rare and
potentially fatal disorder, he keeps it secret and begins to push Brogen away
to spare her future pain—which is exactly the sort of opening Becca is waiting
for. As Jay’s well-meaning deception unravels, Brogen realizes there is much
more than her heart at stake… But how far is she willing to go to fight for
someone she loves?
Excerpt
Our eyes were locked on
each other, and I was glad to see he seemed lighter. He took a step closer,
closing the space between us so our bodies were touching each other. I felt my
heartbeat quicken, and butterflies fluttered about my stomach. This was an intimate
space, and he clearly entered it. The air between us changed, it was more
electric. He put his hands on each side of my face, and then gently but
possessively, he took my mouth against his. He kissed gently at first, and I
felt my knees grow weak. His lips were soft, and his breath was hot. I let my
mind go and became enveloped in the overwhelming love that Jay exuded. He urged
my mouth open and our kiss became more intimate. I felt the heat rising in my
cheeks and followed Jay’s lead. His hands trailed down my arms and wrapped
around my torso. The kisses returned to gentle nibbles, and then to sweet pecks
before he pulled away to look at me. All traces of sadness were gone from his
face, from inside of me. There was light and love there instead. “I’ve been
wanting to do that for a long time,” he said.

About the Author
D.A. Roach has
been telling stories since she was a young girl in the suburbs of Chicago. In
college she met the man of her dreams, her happily ever after, and married him
2 weeks after graduating. They have 3 kids together and a pet cockatiel named
Gimli. D.A. did not find a love for books until after college. Her parents were
immigrants from Lithuania and found tv and radio easier ways to hear stories so
they did not do much reading or encourage it. But once she finished college and
D.A. had free time, she discovered how amazing it was to get lost in a
story.
D.A. is a full
time mom and wife. When she is not doing domestic things (laundry, bills, etc)
she is writing, reading, creating mixed media art, and helping beautify her
kids’ school landscape. Oh, and she is ALWAYS listening to music. Her favorite
authors include Rebecca Donovan, Richelle Mead, Larissa Ione, Stephanie Meyer,
E.L. James, and Sylvia Day. Reading great works from authors like these has
motivated D.A. to write her own stories. She hopes to make positive changes in
the world with her art and writing.
“Life isn’t
about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
