When the fallen angel Daniel descends to the human world in search of his purpose, he never expects to be drawn to a captivating girl who changes everything. Pulled into her world by fate-or something greater-he soon realizes she might hold the key to his very existence. But is she his salvation or the reason he may never return?

She built her walls to survive - but he saw the girl still hiding behind. ***** Hope Graham doesn't remember what it feels like to be whole. Her reflection is a stranger, her silence a shield - and the pain she hides runs deeper than anyone knows. Then came Gavin Beckham. Mysterious. Guarded. The kind of boy she promised herself she'd stay away from. But he sees her - the cracks, the quiet, the storm she carries. And no matter how far she runs, he's always the one who finds her. ***** He smiled too. "Alright. My turn. Truth or dare?" "Truth." "Tell me something no one knows about you." "No one?" "Not even your grandma." I thought for a second. "Okay. You're not gonna believe this, but I'm the biggest nerd ever." He raised an eyebrow. "No way." "I'm serious. I read everything - books, articles, cereal boxes. Anything with words." "But you're always sleeping in class." "I don't like school books. I like storybooks and poetry." "What kind of books?" "Anything except romance." "Why not romance?" "I don't believe in love or happy endings. I'm not a fan of fairytales." "Ah, so you're a love skeptic." "Pretty much." "Why?" "Because pain is the strongest feeling a person can experience- it overrides everything else." "So... you've never been in love?" I shook my head. "No." "Do you want to fall in love?" "Why would I want something that doesn't exist? I'm better off alone." "What if I proved to you that love does exist?" "You'd be wasting your time." I smirked. ***** The Girl She Never Knew She Was is a hauntingly tender story about love, healing, and finding yourself in the person you least expect.
