The Weight of Secrets
Hursley, Montana: A town where secrets fester beneath a veneer of small-town normalcy. Zoe Wallace, a quiet bookworm, finds her predictable life shattered when she attends a party and becomes entangled with the enigmatic Grey Bennington and the charming but dangerous Conner Rutherford. As hidden truths about the people around her and the town itself begin to surface, Zoe must confront a devastating reality that will force her to make impossible choices and fight for her future.
The pages of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice were a familiar comfort, a world away from the quiet predictability of Hursley, Montana. But that comfort was about to be shattered.
"It's Friday night, and I'm bored. I'm not going to let you stay in bed all night reading."
Ashley, my best friend, tumbled into my room with all the grace of a newborn giraffe, her usual dramatic entrance a stark contrast to the quiet evening I’d planned. Hursley, a town named after a classic actor, rarely offered excitement.
"And what are you planning on doing in Hursley?" I asked, a nervous laugh escaping my lips.
Her eyes rolled before a squeal of excitement filled the air. "We're going to a party!"
