Author's Note

THEY SAY GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT...
And I've waited far too long for Tristen Ashwell to notice me.

My best friend's father.

The object of my every fantasy.

The one man I can't have.

And when it's over, when I've given him every piece of me, he calls me a mistake.

With my heart in ruins, I pick up the pieces and try to move on.

But he has no idea about the secret I hold. The way I could crumble his entire world with just a few simple words.

The Savage Society might be all-powerful in Emerald Hills, but there are some things even they can't control...
