Shattered Dreams by Amber Torney

**Phoenix**
Shhh … don’t scream
I prayed the hand over my mouth would suffocate me
before I ever had to tell my best friend the truth.
I loved Logan Ducane—he was everything to me.
But my secrets ripped our families apart.
I’ve spent the last four years trying to rebuild a life worth living,
and trying to find my voice after I’d lost so much.
Four years of progress …
GONE.
I thought I had nothing left to lose,
but I was so wrong.
My bags are packed, and I’m on my way,
to let another Ducane boy finish ripping me to shreds.
He says I’m the enemy …
but if only he knew.

**Logan**
The last time I saw her she was scared, crying, and bloodied,
my cousin’s cold and lifeless body at her feet.
Four years ago, everything I thought I knew was uprooted and shattered.
The girl I thought I loved was the cause of so much pain and angst.
Her lies destroyed everything we had,
but now I get my chance to make her pay.
Four years of hate, anger, and pain—all ready to be released.
