    The Secret

    Eve M. Riley

    You could say my radar is a little broken. Charmers. Cheaters. The worst of the worst. It took me all of ten seconds to work out that he was nothing like that …

    Blond hair, broad shoulders, heart-breaking smile.
    So maybe I was bowled over.
    A little starry-eyed.

    Especially when he didn’t shy away from all my sass. Gave as good as he got.
    So I didn’t ask too much. Didn’t probe when he answered a question with a question.

    I guess I thought he had secrets. Yeah … well … I have a few of those myself.
    It’ll all come out in its own good time.
    At least that’s what I thought.

    But then I was forced to think about it. Forced to confront the fact that I knew nothing about him.
    And then I got mad. Really mad.
    And I went for looking for answers.
