Description:

Published: November 26th, 2015

After years spent harboring a shameful secret, I finally felt…alive, reawakened and brave. Willing to break down my walls and let love in. Let him in.

We had conquered our pasts. The truth had set us free, and we were looking toward our future. Until a crazy twist of fate brought my worst nightmare back into my life.

The voice and soundtrack to every one of my haunting dreams now had a face. One he won’t easily let me forget.

The hits Ben endured on the football field will be nothing compared to the devastating blow his heart will take if he finds out the whole truth. He knows the story, but he doesn’t know the monster. Not like I do.

Just as the wounds of my past had begun to heal, he’s come back to rip them wide open.

Maybe some things are better kept from those we love.

Maybe some secrets are never meant to be told.

Maybe it’s better to Say Nothing…

GUEST POST

Secrets never meant to be told 

I have a few secrets that were never meant to be told about “Say Nothing…” The “creep” in this story was actually based on my piano teacher when I was little. Things were embellished for the sake of the story, but the way he made me feel was very similar to what Ari experienced. Writing this book actually helped me work through some of those feelings and let them go. The whole process without sounding dramatic was a bit cathartic.

Second, Ari’s cousin Letty was based off of my first cousin. We were like sisters growing up; we’re four months apart and the first born in our large Latin family. One day, when we were around ten years old she decided that she wanted everyone to call her Letty. She would get upset when anyone called her by her real name. It’s been a running joke in our family and she cringes anytime we bring it up. After writing the first book, she kept asking when I was going to write her into a story. Being the smartass that I am, I decided to not only write her into the book but to name her after her childhood alter ego. That’s how Letty was born. Everything that Letty says and does are things that my cousin says in real life. “I’m not a for sure thing.” Was her famous quote while dating in our twenty’s. I tease her because she’s been happily married now, for about seven years.

Lastly, I didn’t know how this book was going to end. I don’t generally read darker romance novels, so when I reached the end of Say Something… I was like “now what?” I only had two scenes written for book two when I hit publish on book one and was stuck with this dark character that I had absolutely no idea what to do with. Not thinking anyone besides my family and friends would read book one I wasn’t worried about it. I was so wrong. For the first few months the nightly “WTF with this ending” messages would come in and “I hope you’re almost done.” I was so relieved to hit publish on this book and am so grateful to my friends for talking me off the ledge when I was ready to quit. This book will always be remembered as my biggest challenge.
