The Confidant

I’m trying very hard not to be in love with my best friend. After all, we’ve “been there, done that.”

Or rather, we dated for three amazing weeks last spring before Scarlett’s overprotective dad found out and made her break up with me.

And now that I’ve left her dad’s church, there’s no chance for us. I’m considered dangerous—a threat.

Though, it’s really the secrets I hold that scare Pastor Caldwell the most.

As long as I don’t talk about why I left The Fold, her dad won’t transfer Scarlett from our private boarding school before graduation.

But when Scarlett is set up with a college guy from their church, I know waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option. I need to break out of the friend zone. Fast.

If only doing that didn’t require telling her the secret I’ve been keeping for six months.

Because when Scarlett discovers the truth, I might just lose her forever.
