Exclusive Excerpt:
“You ran away.”
She gives an unladylike snort. “You decided you were a
delusion of my past, and then you expected me to sit there and listen to your
insane ramblings. Thanks, but no. I can’t do that. I’ve had enough crazy for
one life.” She bites her lip, and then blurts, “You stole my file, didn’t you?
That’s how you know about the Boy.”
“Do you remember the firefly meadow?”
She goes still, and I smile, gently. “You do.”
“That wasn’t real,” she whispers, and I feel the shudder.
“We’d hide there, from the lost boys. And you’d fall asleep
telling me your happy thoughts, and wake up to a galaxy of fireflies, and we’d
chase them until you made yourself sick, laughing. And then I’d hold you and
we’d stare at the stars, and you always said they were different. It smelled
like jasmine and honey-“
“And wild woods and freedom,” she whispers, her blue eyes
impossibly wide in her pretty face. I take a tentative step toward her, and
touch her fingers.
Why are your stars different?
“It wasn’t a delusion, Gwendy. You know it wasn’t. Trust
yourself.”
She shudders. “Can’t. My mind lies. It wasn’t—“
“Gwendy,” I say, desperately. Her eyes are filling with
tears and I can feel the disbelief, the way it will tear
apart the world I’ve known, and the girl I’ve loved, and I can’t. I move
without thinking, catch her head and bring her lips to mine.
Forever Found Synopsis:
Losing Gwen was one
of the hardest things I’ve ever had to survive. I’ve never loved anyone the way
I love her.
But finding her was never about that. And now that I have
found her–now that she knows the truth about me and the Island, I have to trust
her to believe. Because her leaving me didn’t just destroy me–its killing
Neverland.
I need her to love me. But we all need her to believe again.
Peter Pan has grown up and found the girl who left–but the
stakes are higher than ever in this romantic conclusion to the story begun in
Girl Lost.

Girl Lost Synopsis:
Northern was
supposed to be a fresh start—a place where people didn’t know who I was or how
I had spent years in and out of mental institutes. People didn't know about my
parents death or the island no one heard of. But when Peter sits next to me in
lit class, I can’t stop the memories, and I don’t want to. He looks too much
like the boy from the island, and despite my best intentions, coaxes my secrets
from me.
He’s gorgeous, irresistible, a little mad, and completely
lost—we are a pair of broken cogs in a world neither of us truly fits into. He
is somehow gentle and fierce, heartbreaking in his devotion and savage in his
defense.
When Belle, his best friend, shows up, pale and lovely and
sick, Peter pulls away from me, a startling withdrawal. It’s a relationship
that scares and confuses me. She is at times warm and friendly, and other times
is violent and unpredictable.
Peter says that he wants me, but refuses to let himself get
close. And there are secrets, surrounding both of us, that border on
nightmares. As the memories close in, as Belle gets sicker and more violent,
I’m torn between what is true and what I believe, and what this magical boy
knows about my mysterious past.
