WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Griffin Tomlin is dead. And Clara's sister killed him . . .
Four months after the murder, the entire town of Shiloh is still in shock. For Clara Porterfield, the normal world has crumbled around her in a million chaotic pieces. Now Clara lives in a new reality, where her sister awaits trial for murder, her mother obsessively digs in a dead, frozen garden, and her father lives and breathes denial. At school, Clara is haunted by her classmates' morbid curiosity-and all of the unspoken questions they won't ask.
But none of them knows what she knows . . .
Now Clara's sister wants something from her-the one thing in all of this that Clara isn't ready to face: the truth about what really happened that night. Because this story didn't die with Griffin Tomlin. There's another story that needs to be told. And sometimes, the lies we're told are nowhere near as deadly as the lies we tell ourselves . . .

Forgotten Truths
Skylar Green never believed her first year of university would change everything. Innocent, naive, but stubbornly down to earth, she only wanted to keep her head down, study hard, and avoid distractions. But then she meets Adrian Hart- Her brother's best friend. Adrian is everything Skylar swore she'd never fall for, especially because she already had a man in her life, Enzo. Tattooed, magnetic, and dangerous in ways she can't quite name, he hides arrogance behind a smirk and mystery behind those piercing green eyes. He's the kind of man who takes what he wants-and somehow, what he wants is her. Passion. Possessiveness. A pull she can't explain. Skylar quickly finds herself caught in Adrian's world, a world that feels thrilling and intoxicating... until it all comes crashing down. And then one truth shatters everything... A truth so devastating it sends her running into the storm. A truth she may never forgive. A truth that ends with screeching tires, shattered glass, and darkness. When she wakes, her memory is gone. But the secret remains. Who can she trust when everyone around her has something to hide? What is Adrian keeping buried behind that smoldering gaze? And when the forgotten truths finally come to light... will they ruin her, or set her free?
