His Secrets

She felt her back hit the hard wall behind her. He stalked closer towards her, putting his hands on the wall above her head caging her in as if she was some kind of wild animal that needed to be tamed; needed to be taught a lesson. He was close enough that she could feel his breath fanning across her face. He smelt like peppermint and secrets. His lips raised into a cocky smirk which she was beginning to know all too well, as he leaned down towards her and whispered
"What have I told you about minding your own damn business?"

Everyone keeps secrets. Some are big, dramatic, scary. Some lie to protect, to make themselves look better, to blanket themselves from the real world. Little white lies. They invade everything we do. Taura Michaels is an ordinary girl trying to make it through high school. She wants to blend in, desperately wishing that her secrets had not been exposed to the entire world. Max, on the other hand, has lived with keeping secrets his whole life. There is nothing more than he wants than to protect his family, no matter the cost.
What will happen when the two reunite after ten years, and how far will Max go to protect his love.
