Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the
road. She’s made a promise to herself: don’t let anyone in, and don’t let
anyone love her. She’s learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her
rules. So she’s focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on
the road—her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.
Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all—everything
about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He
can’t let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else
all his hopes and dreams will disappear.
One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing
everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she’s
focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the
invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the
road may lead.
Excerpt #1
Chloe lifted her gaze and locked it with
mine. She shook her head again and groaned, “Fine.” Then she took off her
shirt.
My jaw dropped.
My hands had touched her bare skin, the
curve of her hips, and her tiny waist, but I’d seen her body only once, when
she was in a bikini, and that had been for only a minute. But that was nothing
compared to seeing her like this. Up close. So close her sports bra–covered
breasts were just under my nose.
“Blake?” she whispered.
I struggled to take my eyes off her chest, but I finally
made it to her face. She had her hair tied up in a messy knot on top of her
head, like she often did. But a few strands were stuck on her neck and on her
face . . . and a little sheen of sweat covered her arms and her stomach, her
chest, her breasts . . .
“Blake,” she repeated, and I trailed my eyes back to hers
again.
She pouted before she said, “Give me the ball?”
I shook my head and hid the ball behind my back.
She pouted again. “Please?” she whispered. Then a hint of
a smile broke through.
“Are you trying to seduce me into giving you my ball?”
