Secondhand Smoke - Preorder
1988 After an accident claimed the lives of her friends, Janelle Duncan is left in the limbo of overwhelming grief. Her parents keep telling her to move on, but the rest of their small town makes it hard for her to forget what she did. So, she decides to do the next best thing—spiral into the tempting depths of self-destruction with the help of local wannabe rock star, Scott Barrett.
Scott remembers what Janelle was like in high school: rich, popular, and untouchable. But after running into her two years later, she’s changed—who wouldn’t after what she’d gone through? He’s busy enough trying to kickstart his music career, but he isn’t going to turn her down when she offers a few quick bucks. Plus, he could use a little excitement and she’s as intriguing as they come.
