First peek at my YA novel: The Kiss of Death

But she’s harboring a dark secret. She keeps everyone at arm’s length—for their own protection.
A certain boy is making that incredibly difficult.
Friendships, foster family, a boy who makes her blush without even trying... Violet could have it all—if she were normal.
