Unforgivable Secret

A fresh start... Morgan Eastman cannot wait to finish high school. One more year is all that stands in the way of her new life. One where she isn't constantly ignored – or bullied – and one in which she isn't always compared to her perfect sister, Clarissa. For years, she'd kept to the shadows, avoiding the wrath of the popular girls – the Hawkettes – and the rulers of the school, the soccer stars, the Hawks. One more year. Except, this time, one of the Hawks has set his sights on her. A way out… Ethan Lowry has it all. Well, almost. Captain of the soccer team, beloved by all, the only thing he needs… is to get away from home. Escape the prison holding him back. With his soccer scholarship pending, he just needs a little more to make his escape a reality. When offered with a chance for freedom, Ethan reluctantly agrees. It's easy, really. He just needs to get the shy, overweight, geeky-girl, Morgan, to fall in love with him. For a Hawk, especially the Captain, he can nearly feel the three thousand dollars in his pocket already. A bet that would ruin them both… Ethan soon learns the bet isn't going as planned. Instead of Morgan falling for him, for the first time in his life, he is chasing after her. How didn't he notice it before? Morgan is stunning. She's smart. She's kind. She's everything he ever wanted. Everything he ever needed. This couldn't possibly be love… could it? There's only one thing Ethan knows for certain. Morgan can never find out about the bet. It would ruin them. And now, the only thing Ethan needs most in his life… is Morgan. If all is fair in love and war, then why does it hurt so… damn… much?
