Brittle Hope by Blake Blessing

Five months. Different paths. True love.
One semester is all that stands in our way of getting out of Silver Ranch. We’re doing everything we can to stay together.
But Trinity has an upcoming court date. Rhys family is facing financial ruin. It just might take my Dad down with them, which shouldn’t matter to me, right? No, I’d much rather focus on making sure we’re away from this place and following our dreams in whatever way we can.
The stain of scandal has different ideas, though. It’s something I never saw coming. Especially how one bad deed, that hit one of us by familial association, could snowball until we were all splattered under the constrictive weight of public opinion.
Still, we’re determined. Except…
Can we really get out of this town when we’re too afraid to hope?
