Synopsis
One
year. That’s how long it’s been since childhood sweethearts Sully Graham and Cadence
Gilbertson broke up, since one adoption and one out-of-state move turned their
worlds upside down.
Suddenly,
Cadence is back in New York City, but something’s different about her. The
light in her eyes, the music in her laughter, the warmth in her smile—all of
those things have entirely vanished. In their place stand the makings of a girl
Sully can’t even begin to recognize, much less understand.
Still,
despite the collective history of heartbreak between them, he’s convinced he
can win her trust again, and he’s committed to proving the invincibility of
their love no matter what it takes.
But
Cadence is quietly harboring secrets of her own. Dark secrets. Ugly secrets.
Secrets that could break a person. And though broken herself and unbearably
lonely, she’s determined to protect Sully from her terrible, biting truths.
Even if it means locking him out of her life forever.
The
only problem is it seems her heart hasn’t quite received the memo. One glimpse
of him is all it takes for her to trip into familiar (and, she’ll admit,
addictive) feelings that threaten to all but consume her. Now her biggest fear
is that her secrets will begin to slowly unravel one by one…long before Sully’s
resolve ever does.
The
Secrets We Kept is a moving story about first love, friendship, and
forgiveness, and the enduring bonds that forever connect us and give us our
strength.
AUTHOR BIOS
Lily
Velez has been writing stories since she was six years old. Not much has
changed since then. She still prefers the written word and her
overactive imagination over the ‘real world’ (though to be fair, her
stories no longer feature talking dinosaurs). A graduate of Rollins
College and a Florida native, when she's not reading or writing, she
spends most of her days wrangling up her pitbulls Noah and Luna, planning
exciting travel adventures, and nursing her addiction to cheese. All this
when she isn’t participating in the extreme sport known as napping. You
can learn more about Lily and her books at www.lilyvelezbooks.com.
Lily's debut novel, The Secrets We Kept, comes out Fall 2015.
