GONE TOO FAR…
Meg had never intended to have things go this far. She’d just wanted to make sure Lucinda was treated fairly. The last thing she really wanted was to be saddled with the difficult teenager. To have her already pressure-filled life complicated even further by someone else’s problems and needs. She hadn’t asked for this. It had been the same thing with Ethan; she had never asked for that. He had pushed himself on her, demanded her attention, turned her world upside down. Her mistake, though, was that she hadn’t had the courage to stop him. And so he had come between Meg and her sister—tearing to shreds their love for and trust in each other. It crossed her mind that if she did the right thing by Lucinda she could somehow make up for the wrong she’d allowed Ethan to do.
Meg knew she had already made a choice—to prove Lucinda’s innocence. And now, there was no going back….
“Liza Bennett creates extraordinary characters—as smart and savvy as your favorite friends, as vulnerable as your secret self—and dares to explore their forbidden fantasies. She is a mesmerizing storyteller who keeps you turning pages at breathtaking speed until you close the book.”
—Ellen Feldman, author of God Bless the Child

schedule to explain the dynamics of the
