Blurb-

After learning that Jullian wasn’t the person who she thought he was, Chastity leaves the city to start over. A visit with Lauren and Kevin is what Chastity is sure she needs to clear her head. She gets more than she bargained for, however, when Lauren and Kevin’s new next door neighbor is none other than Xavier! Seeing him throws Chastity into a whirlwind of past memories and unlocks emotions that Chastity hid deep in her heart long ago. It’s not long until the two get together again. But after five years apart, Xavier isn’t the only one with secrets anymore; Chastity has a pile of her own and she is determined to keep them hidden. Every time Xavier gets close to finding out one of Chastity’s secrets, she pushes him away. Over and over again she does this until Chastity and Xavier’s relationship is on the brink of ending. With her relationship at risk, Chastity has to decide what’s more important: her secrets or her first love.

Excerpt-

I was barely out the bookstore door when I heard Xavier calling my name. I ignored him, quickening my pace, but he caught up quickly and grabbed my upper arm. Everyone on the street walking stopped and stared. Behind Xavier I saw Noel. She was glaring at me, her eyes narrowed, and her plastic finger nails tapping on her arm. She was chewing gum and constantly blew bubbles. In the sun her white dress became sheer and I averted my eyes, too disgusted to look at what she didn’t have on.

“Leave me alone Xavier,” I said before he could open his mouth. “You made it obnoxiously clear that I don’t mean anything to you so stop bothering me. I didn’t come to this town because I knew you were coming nor did I visit this bookstore in hopes of seeing you. Honestly I couldn’t care less if I saw you.” Okay so that was a bold face lie I just hoped that Xavier did not see right through it. He also didn’t need to know how he made my heart stutter or my legs become spaghetti. The less he knew about how he affected me, the better off we would both be.

“I didn’t mean that. Listen Noel sometimes is a little much, gets a little paranoid. I haven’t been able to deal with her mood swings lately and I’m just doing my best not to set her off. You don’t know what it’s like when she’s in one of her moods.”

“Then why are you even with her?” I questioned. “If she’s so bad then why stay with her? Is she just that great at sex?” I couldn’t believe the iciness in my voice. Nothing had ever had this much affect on me, not even finding out that Jullian had lied to me.

More people were staring but this time I didn’t care. Let them see that the supposedly famous Xavier Marsh get reamed out by the new stranger. It would be great dinner table talk. The least I could do was to give these people some excitement in their small town. I was sure that they didn’t get much of that.

“It was a futile attempt to get over you, okay?” Xavier said. I could tell he was forcing himself to keep his voice strong, controlled.

“That is such bull,” I said. “What, couldn’t think of a better lie?”

“It’s not a lie, it’s the truth whether you believe it or not,” Xavier growled “You can’t tell me you didn’t do the same thing. I know for a fact that you did.” The way Xavier said it made me uneasy. What the hell is he talking about? “Don’t look at me like that, Chastity. I know that after I left, you and Jullian hooked up. I came to try and find you, about a week after my eighteenth birthday. I couldn’t wait to see you because I knew I had a lot of explaining to do. I couldn’t wait to start over with you. But when I finally found you at the park, you were on the swings and Jullian was behind you. He was pushing you and you…you looked like you were pregnant.” Before the words even hit my ears, I covered my face with my hands. I knew exactly when he was talking about too. I felt sick to my stomach.
