Allusive Aftershock (Unabridged‪)‬

What happens when a major earthquake changes your entire world, and the boy you thought you hated ends up saving your life? Three times!

Courtland Reese is the guy everyone hates and makes fun of because … well, he is weird. He communicates with animals. Strange or interesting, I can’t quite figure out, but when he saves me from being trampled by my horse, I start to understand him a little better, and maybe I'd like to get to know him better.

But, Max—my best friend/dream guy/someday-to-be-my-husband-only-he-doesn’t-know-it-yet—hates Courtland with a passion. I want to know why except neither one of them wants to talk about it.

When Max leaves me stranded in his parents' wine cave with his worst enemy, Courtland, after what the experts are calling a “megathrust” earthquake, I begin to question my loyalty to Max as steamy kisses in a dark, damp cellar only fuel my emotions with more conflict.

But do I really have time to worry about that when fire, destruction, and mayhem surround me?

A Young Adult Novel about friendship, betrayal, and love.
