When No One was Listening by Amanda Alberson

What is normal and how hard can it be? Sloane and Sarah are a package deal. Inseparable since birth and more so now, years after Sarah’s death. Sloane spends her life crushed by the guilt of killing her twin, doing her best to blend into the background wherever she goes. She dreams of having a normal life, one without guilt, or her sister’s voice in her head. When she’s forced to move back to the small town where everything went wrong she’s given the chance for the life she’s been dreaming of, if she’s brave enough to take it. Eric Rainer is THE guy, the one all the other guys want to be and all the girls want to be with, but he wants more. As the star running back there’s nothing in his small town he can’t have, except the peace he once found in Sloane Christianson’s eyes. Rumor has it she’s moving back and even though his dad has already warned him to steer clear, Eric has plans to make her his. Barrett Clark is the black sheep, the loner, the bully. With a record and a family reputation filled with violence the only thing he wants is out. There’s nothing for a guy like him in a town run by Sherriff Rainer and his idiot son, at least not until she shows back up. What if he could be something other than the rumors? What if he could be more than what everyone thinks he is? What if he could be better? Three small town lives collide as they each search for something normal, something more, something better. When things spiral out of control each of them struggles to find who they’re willing to be to get what they want most.
