3 parts Ongoing MatureIn the small rural town of Creed River, Arkansas, everyone knows everyone-or so it seems. Serenity Raines, a high school senior, just wants to enjoy her last year of being a teenager with her best friend Tia. She dreams of parties, late nights, and figuring out what comes next after graduation.
But then she meets Dalton Ward, the mysterious new guy from Maple Ridge. He's older, strikingly handsome, and carries the kind of charm that makes it impossible for Serenity to stay away. Their chemistry is instant, electric, and soon they're sneaking away to backroads, ponds, and late-night drives that turn into something much more.
At first, Dalton seems like everything Serenity didn't know she wanted. But Dalton's world isn't as simple as he makes it seem. He's caught up in dealing, hanging with dangerous crowds, and living a life full of secrets he keeps just out of Serenity's reach. When a drug deal goes wrong and violence comes too close, Serenity realizes she's in love with someone who could destroy her as easily as he makes her feel alive.
Now Serenity must face the truth: can she hold onto Dalton without losing herself, or will their love story end in tragedy before it even has a chance to begin?
A raw, emotional tale of young love, danger, and choices that change everything, Walking with Serenity captures what it means to grow up in a small town where everyone talks, but no one truly knows the whole story.
