***Secrets Being a girl is hard, being a girl in love with your lifelong best friend, that’s harder. Growing up Morgan and Ethan were at one another’s houses nearly every day. Why? Because their parents Tomas and Sarah Adams (Morgan’s Parents) and Andrew and Elizabeth Dexter (Ethan’s Parents) lived right next door to one another for the last 20 years. From BBQ’s, movie nights, to traveling to the south for spring break together all the way to spending the night in one another’s bed. It was all platonic until high school when Morgan began to have feelings for Ethan. She held her feelings in, mostly because Ethan began dating Melissa Andrews their sophomore year, but also because of the fear of exposing herself and being shut down. We travel through the life of Morgan and the hardships of having a love that is just out of reach and what measures we take to protect ourselves but also the difficulty of wanting more but not being able to have it. Will Morgan hold in her feelings, expose herself or run for the hills? “I’ll keep you my dirty little secret.”

Cassandra Diez and Mason Gilmore were destined to be together, or at least that is what Mason’s heritage would make him believe. Do you believe in soul mates, love at first sight or the belief that things happen for a reason? The thick humidity of the Florida air, a guitar and the song change everything Cassandra believed in. Having always been inspired by music and the path is has created for her will she give into the strong pull that is Mason or continue down the straight and narrow than is Landen. Was Mason destined to walk into that open mic night knowing he would meet the woman of his dreams? Would Cassandra want him despite the life she had already caved out for herself? Would they find their path, and would it be a path together or separate? The Gilmores believe in their heritage and that you have one life with one person whom you are mated to for eternity. Have there been exceptions to the rule, sure – but not within their line. Will Mason give into his destiny or continue to cause havoc along his path? This story brings in a fantasy that to Cassandra feels very “make believe” but are things as we see them, or are people something more? Is there really a BIG Foot, is Edward Cullen really a vampire from the books you read – or is there more to the eye that we are missing? Do we see through the people and things right in front of us because we are so busied with our every day lives? What happens when we slow down and look at the bigger picture, will it become brighter than you ever imagined, or will it crumble underneath the black and white? Follow these two souls who forgot to believe in the immensity of love – who didn’t want to believe, who fought for the path they believed in, the one they wanted for themselves. Who realized, sometimes fighting the powers of fate has more consequences than life itself.
