Hidden From Me
(2027)(The first book in the Tangled In Secrets Duology series)
A novel by Winnie Brooks
Ellie
I was okay. Everything was finally falling into place. I wasn't thinking of him as often anymore, Shadow and I were getting by, my artwork was starting to take off, and my routine was working. My episodes were happening less and less, and I felt that I was able to live my own life…different than the one I saw with him.
Then everything changed.
A threat—a society that I didn't even know existed—came for me, and as if he was reborn from the shadows, Jace was there. He loomed over me like fate, and while he used to promise me nothing but happiness and safety, I didn't feel that anymore. The man I knew is gone, and it's not because the years have forced us to grow apart, or because of the betrayal I felt when he left.
It's because he's one of them.
Jace
Nothing was okay…not since the day my father dragged me away from my life and turned me into a monster. The society, hidden away and concealed from anything pure, was always a part of my future, but not the one I planned for. I never knew where life would take me, but I was always so sure about one thing. Eleanor Constance Sinclair.
Then everything changed.
Now I'm everything she hates, and unfortunately, watching her from the shadows isn't enough anymore. I was prepared to let her go, allow her to live her life in a way that would make her happy and keep her safe from what has become my world. Now they've made her a target, and I can't let myself feel the way I used to—not when it comes to her. I'll tear her apart, and it's not because I don't love her.
It's because I'm one of them.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
