Kaci Ellis spent her younger years hiding behind perfect grades and suffocating silence, wanting more than just a busy schedule and good grades. An unexpected connection brought just that, cracking her walls, blindly forcing her to believe in fairytales. But just as quickly as this new life erupted, betrayal, lies, and death shattered everything she thought she knew.
Five years later, she begrudgingly returns from London after a mishap forces a pause on her career. To her surprise, she finds that her high school is holding a reunion. She's not the girl anyone remembers and she's not here for closure. Yet, surrounded by old friends, old enemies, and one unforgettable first love, Kaci finds herself tangled in secrets and lies that never stayed buried.
~ This isn't just a story about love. It's about survival, self discovery, and what happens when you face darkness that was never buried deep enough. ~

I told myself I wasn't her. Until the night she touched me. And I let her. This is not a love story. This is a slow dying. A first person confession. And if you read long enough... you'll understand why I didn't survive her.
