It is the summer of 2012. The sky is blue, the ocean is
crisp, and six young women are missing, including Madison Porter.
At the disappearance of her best friend, Amber Swanson falls
into a spiral of destruction. She smokes, drinks and gets caught stealing. Her
parents don't know what to do with her, so she is sent to live with her
half-sister, Rebecca, in Virginia.
Ethan Hunter lives by the saying ‘blood is thicker than
water’; even when his mother up and left him. At sixteen, he’s torn between
holding on to the only family he has left and forging his own path for the
future. He secretly plans his escape from his small, southern town.
The two lives collide and, as Amber puts the pieces of her
best friend’s disappearance together, she and Ethan are thrown into a whirlwind
of secrets, deceit, and murder.

Excerpt-
“Amber!” My eyes snapped open and I looked around wildly.
Cold sweat beaded my forehead and my hands were shaking. My wooden leg wasn't
next to me but my sister and Jacob were. Jacob held crutches and handed them to
me as our eyes met.
“Thanks,” I muttered, forgetting for a moment that I didn’t
like him. “Why are you screaming at me?”
“Because you were screaming yourself,” Rebecca said. “You
must have fallen asleep and you started crying out.” I sat up straighter. Not
this again I thought. The doctor said the pills would take care of it.
“How bad?” I asked. “What did I say?”
“I couldn't understand you,” Rebecca admitted. “But it
sounded pretty bad. Is everything okay?”
“It's fine,” I said sharply. There was no way that I was
going to tell Rebecca about the dream. “I'm fine.”
“There's no reason to be so angry Amber,” Jacob said. “Your
sister is just trying to help.”
“I said I'm fine,” I snapped. “She's not trying to help as
much as trying to get on our father's good side. She was always the goody two
shoes...daddy's little princess. If her perfect reputation wasn’t at stake, she
wouldn’t give a damn about me.”
