I should've walked away. I should've kept my family's secrets. I didn't. And I lost everything. Keeping secrets is my specialty. Guarding my heart and staying hidden in the shadows was all I'd ever known…until Nic Marcelli. He's everything I can't resist, but should. Cocky, handsome, and downright irresistible, Nic comes from a world of designer clothes, luxury cars, and wealth at his fingertips. A world that would never accept someone like me. I tell myself he's just a fling until graduation. But with someone like Nic, it's hard letting go. Secrets & Surrender is a upper young adult/new adult romance about sacrifice, enduring love, and the undeniable bond of two people from different worlds.
