Icarus

Being the 'new kid' at school is hard, but for Tess Novak - who's moved more times than she can remember - it's a role she knows by heart. Transferring during senior year means yet another place she'll eventually leave, more classmates she'll forget. Fate, it seems, has other plans. From the moment Tess is introduced to honor student Drew Martinez, she is convinced she has met him before. But when? Confident and attractive, Drew is exactly the type of 'rich kid' Tess's father hates, and Tess avoids. Thrown together by a class project, their tentative friendship sparks a smoldering attraction. Tess tries to keep Drew at arm's length, but in weeks they are drawn into a scorching romance. Fearing her father's volatile reaction, Tess insists on keeping the relationship a secret. Meanwhile, she begins to uncover the mysterious connection which hearkens back to the half-forgotten days of her dark childhood, a past which appears to be connected to Drew. As each new puzzle piece falls into place, and the threat of discovery increases, Tess must decide whether she wants to keep living a lie, or expose the horrific events which tore Drew out of her life so many years before...
