Summary
Nothing good happens when people keep secrets.
Paige Bryant’s dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer died along with her mother. Drowning in grief and plagued by guilt, Paige is blindsided by a provision in her mother’s will that sends her to live with the father she never knew. Forced to start over in a new town and at a new school where she's now the principal's daughter, Paige is convinced that her life can’t possibly get more complicated—until fate throws her into the path of the only boy her guardian tells her is off-limits.
Despite two years on the straight and narrow, Cade Matthews can’t escape his time as a juvenile delinquent. With his dad behind bars, Cade’s feelings of anger and betrayal are as relentless as the rumors he’s trying to outrun. The only person not listening to the gossip is the new girl with her own set of troubles, including a father who will never give Cade a fair shake.
As Paige tries to adjust to her new life and an uncertain future, a set of unopened journals reveals a dark family secret. When tensions rise to a boiling point, can Paige and Cade make peace with the past before it destroys them?

Paige's Top Ten Tips about Moving to a Small Town
1. Find the coffee shop. There’s always one in a small town and identifying where you can get your daily caffeine fix is essential.
2. Be open to making new friends. No one wants to sit alone in the school cafeteria.
3. Prepare to stand out. Being the new girl in school comes with a lot of unwanted attention, especially when you are the principal’s daughter.
4. Join the dance team or be prepared to say no—repeatedly.
5. Stop trying to figure out why your mom sent you here. It’s your home now, don’t fight it.
6. Every small town has its annual traditions. Embrace them and take your little sister to visit Santa.
7. Get used to talking about your feelings. Everyone is going to want you to do that.
8. Rumors and gossip travel fast in a small town. Watch what you say and don’t believe everything you hear.
9. Be open to possibilities. Maybe things didn’t turn out the way you expected, but change can bring new beginnings.
10. Don’t write off the bad boy in town. There’s likely more to him than meets the eye. (wink)
