Forbidden Souls by C.M. Youngren

Friendship and love brought us together…
Would heartbreak keep us apart?
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, dirt poor, and neglected by the so-called parents that created me, left me cynical and closed off. I didn’t need or trust anyone except for my brother. So, I built a wall of armor around my heart that I believed not a single person except for him could touch. I was wrong.
The girls scaled the wall.
And then Landon brought it crumbling down.
As I grew older, the passion between Landon and me intensified, becoming undeniable. And although I had the best friends a girl could ever ask for, I had been harboring two major secrets from them. First, the forbidden love that Landon and I once shared. Second, the loss which had caused a mountain of despair I buried deep in my soul that no one could ever mend. Not even Landon. Or could he?
