family forgiveness friends honor loyalty redemption starling starlings status

Book one of two in what may become a trilogy...  
Honor, loyalty, and love - three words that are not familiar to those trapped in the cult of social status. At 17 years old, Elise Torgason was a beautiful, rich, spoiled brat, status worshiping, mean girl - i.e. - a Starling. Her friends were really pushing her to go slumming, and challenged her to land the biggest catch in school - Bret Whitaker.

Bret Whitaker was an average middle class guy from an average middle class suburb. At 17 years old, he was looking forward to graduating from high school, and joining the National Guard. He wasn't looking for a relationship, and was well aware of the starlings' plot.

Elise talked Bret into taking her on a few dates, to satisfy her friends. She knew falling for him could cost her everything. Can the wall around her starling heart protect her from forming any attachment? Or will time spent with Bret and his family prove to be too much for her lonely heart to bear?All Rights Reserved
