Things I knew about Derek Nash: He wasn't of this world. He would never belong here, no matter how hard he tried. Despite this, I was deeply obsessed with him. * * * Eleanor Archer's comfortable life in Bluffside, a small Colorado town, is disrupted when she meets the mysterious and charming Derek Nash. Up until now, Ellie's high school experience has been predictable. But with Derek's arrival, things change-becoming thrilling and terrifying in equal measure. Derek has managed to keep his true identity a secret, but Ellie is intent on finding the real guy behind the irresistible smile. As she discovers Derek's otherworldly qualities, she is forced to confront shocking new realities. Vacillating between despair and desire, she's unable to abandon her quest. She can't imagine her life without Derek. Deeply poetic and passionate, "Fall" captures the struggle between honoring our intuition and surrendering to our desires. This is a love story of multiple dimensions. * * * Thank you for reading. Please let me know how you like the story. I'ill respond to all comments.
