Torn - (All Torn Up) by Carian Cole (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Well-written tension and forbidden longing. The angst in this was incredible!"
--Penelope Douglas, New York Times bestselling author of Birthday Girl

When I was five years old I told Toren Grace we were going to get married someday. He'd been my best friend, my protector, and my rock since the day I was born. He was my world. In fact, his name was my very first word.

He wasn't just my favorite person, though.

He was also my dad's best friend, and my pseudo uncle.

But during my senior year of high school, our relationship slowly changed. Innocent friendship turned to stolen glances. Silly conversations morphed into serious heart-to-hearts. And then one day, an unexpected smoldering kiss changed everything.

While that kiss was everything I'd ever dreamed of, it knocked Tor clear off his axis. He's one of the good guys--loving and devoted with a strong moral compass . . . which makes it impossible for him to accept our feelings for each other. Because not only are we both the one person the other should never, ever want, I'm eighteen, and Tor is fifteen years older than me.

Despite that, the heart wants what the heart wants, and ours have decided we're meant to be together no matter what.

But neither one of us can stand to betray or hurt my father, who trusts Tor with everything precious to him. We can't be in a secret relationship forever, so what will happen when my father finds out his best friend is in love with his daughter?

Will there be a way for us to find our happily ever after? Or we will all be torn apart?
