FOR KEEPS ❤️

“Don’t regret our journey and the lessons that we both learned. The main one being that we can’t live without each other.” — FOR KEEPS, 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑒 𝐸𝒹𝒾𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 ❤️

🅱🅻🆄🆁🅱:

Rhys Silverman and Riley Martin have known each other since childhood. They became fast buddies in daycare and later became young lovers in high school. The two had their white-picket-fence-future all planned out until Riley had a change of heart and ended her relationship with Rhys after graduation. Then she left their East Texas hometown of Cypress Hills and moved to Fort Worth.

A year later, Riley is thriving. She loves living in a big city. She also loves her dental hygienist job and the new guy in her life. Her exciting path seems clear-cut until she makes a trip back to Cypress Hills one weekend and unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Rhys. As her memories of what they once shared come rushing back, Riley is forced to reexamine her life.

This is a passionate story of romance, secrets, betrayal, crime, and ghosts from the past. FOR KEEPS will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page.

*Loosely based on the amazing and haunted town of @visitjeffersontexas ❤️
