One shy lost soul.
One
silent lonely heart.
One love to save them
both.
Life has never been easy
for twenty-year-old Levi Carillo. The youngest of the Carillo boys, Levi is
nothing like his older brothers. He isn’t dark in looks or intimidating to
everyone he meets. In fact, he’s quite the opposite. Haunted by a crippling
shyness and the tragic events of his past, Levi spends his days with his head
buried in his books, or training hard for his college football team. Too timid
to talk to girls, Levi stays as far away as possible and completely on his own…
until he saves the life of a troubled pretty blonde, a troubled pretty blonde
that might just be the exception to his rule.
Elsie Hall is homeless.
Or at least that’s all anyone ever sees. Everyday is a fight for survival on
the cold streets of Seattle, everyday a struggle to find food and keep warm.
Alone in life—a life that’s dangerous and cruel—her will to keep going is an
ever-losing battle. In her world of silence, Elsie has given up hope that her
life will contain anything but constant struggle and pain… until the beautiful
boy she has severely wronged comes to her rescue at precisely the right time.
New Adult novel—contains
sexual situations and mature topics. Suited for ages 18 and up.
Excerpt
“Carillo. You
got twenty more sprints, then you can hit the showers,” Coach shouted, as I
took my place back on the field. Putting my head down, drawing myself down to
focus, I got it done.
Twenty
sprints later, I threw a wave to Jake and Ashton who were still hitting their
sprints. I made my way inside. I always finished first. Football was my life.
It was what I did best. It was the only constant I’d ever had; I could trust
football, I could trust the routine.
It never let
me down.
It never
left.
My cleats
tapped on the tile floor of the locker room as I toweled off sweat from my
face. I hit the showers, and in less than five minutes under the boiling spray,
with only a towel around my waist, I headed into the locker room. I entered the
change area, just as a movement caught my eye, right in front of my station.
A girl. A
petite, thin girl—scraggly long blond hair sticking out of a pulled up hood;
dressed in dirty black jeans, chucks riddled with holes, and a scuffed black
leather jacket.
I froze,
startled by what the hell a girl was doing in here, in the football locker
room. Then my eyes widened when I realized exactly what she was doing. Her left
side was to me, her rail thin body showing me most of her back.
Her hands
were in my bag.
Instinct
kicked in and I stepped forward. “Hey!” I shouted. But the girl didn’t move. I
shouted again, my heart beating fast. It seemed like it took her a minute to
hear me. She froze, and flashing me a quick glimpse of her shocked dirty face
hidden under her black hood, she pulled something to her chest and sprinted out
of the locker room, then straight outside.
I stood
rooted to the spot, completely shocked, until I remembered that my bag was wide
open. I rushed forward and looked inside. At first I didn’t think anything had
been taken, then I noticed my wallet was missing from the inside pocket. I
began throwing my clothes and sports crap out onto the floor, searching the
entire bag. But as I reached inside the hidden compartment, there was nothing.
Nothing.
She’d taken
my wallet.
Great!
Standing
straight, I ran my hands through my wet hair. My eyes darted around the room. I
questioned how the hell she’d gotten in here? In a secure room?
I breathed
out through my nose, trying like hell to calm down, when shards of ice sliced,
like spears, down my spine. Every part of me stilled as a further realization
kicked in. My wallet. My wallet not only contained all my cards and ID, but
also the one thing that mattered the most to me—in my whole life.
The rosary.
