Their relationship has been exposed,
and now their lives are changed forever.
For Cadence Miller, the fast track to adulthood proves intimidating
and frustrating. She’s a little girl lost—abandoned by her
parents and uncertain of her future. She doesn’t think she “fits”
anywhere. She’s eighteen. She wants to be older. And the result is
both comical and heartbreaking.
Mark Connelly will do anything to
provide Cadence a stable, loving home—to be her protector. But he’s
just as broken and lost, and his heart won’t let go of his past so
easily. He knows he must share his secret with Cadence. And he hopes
his revelation won't tear them apart. He hopes it will draw them
closer, and make their love better.
She made sure to look as inconspicuous as possible for her first
day of classes: jean shorts, tank top, flip flops. She kept her hair
down but pulled it off her face with a headband. She wore a tad bit
of makeup. Nothing showy, but she thought first day classes warranted
mascara and lip gloss, at the least.
She
slid into a seat in the row closest to the windows. She didn’t
bother to look for Michael. Or save him a seat. She still wasn’t
sure about that guy. She felt guilty for not telling Mark about
Michael’s kissing comment. She wanted a friend, but she was unsure
if he was a good one. She scanned the room for somebody better. She
needed a girlfriend. And there was one sitting directly behind her.
The girl leaned in and whispered, “Did you really have an affair
with your math teacher?”
S. Walden used to teach English before
making the best decision of her life by becoming a full-time writer.
She lives in Georgia with her very supportive husband who prefers
physics textbooks over fiction and has a difficult time understanding
why her characters must have personality flaws. She is wary of small
children, so she has a Westie instead. Her dreams include raising
chickens and owning and operating a beachside inn on the Gulf Coast
(chickens included). When she's not writing, she's thinking about it.
She loves her fans and loves to hear from them. Email her at

information on her current projects.
