Slowly We Trust by Chelsea M. Cameron Excerpt


SLOWLY WE TRUST 
by Chelsea M. Cameron

April 2014



BOOK SUMMARY:

Audrey Valdez didn’t mean to fall for Will Anders. He isn’t her type. At all. But his goofy smile, Star Wars quotes and athletic body make it impossible. She's lived so long in the darkness and Will is like the sun. He makes her laugh more than she has in years and cares for her more than her own family.

But there are things about Audrey that Will doesn't know, things he can't know. She tries to push him away, but he just ends up getting closer to her, and to her secret. Is the risk of losing him forever worth the chance a being with the only person she's ever loved who has loved her back?

Excerpt

“Surprises are good for you. Get you out of your comfort zone. And I think this will be especially good for you.” She had a smirk on her face that was making very uncomfortable.
When I’d first met Trish, I didn’t think I’d have anything in common with her, but then I found out about her family situation and that she was really sweet under the angry eye makeup and orange hair and tattoos. Plus, she had a soft spot for gooey romantic books, and she was one of those people who was always doing sweet things for others, but didn’t want anyone to know about it. And she loved her brother with a fierceness that she would deny if asked.
I finally made her stop changing the radio stations because it was giving me a headache, but she still wouldn’t tell me where we were going. We didn’t head for the highway, so it couldn’t have been anywhere that far. But fifteen minutes later we pulled into the parking lot of what appeared to be a tattoo shop, judging by the sign and neon lights promoting tattoos and piercings.
“Uh, Trish?”
“Yes, Audrey?” She turned to me with an innocent look on her face. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a guy wearing a leather vest with nothing underneath smoking while leaning against the building.
“What are we doing here?”
“Well, I am here to get another hole punched in my body and you’re here to hold my hand and make sure I don’t pass out.”
“But you have a million piercings. Aren’t you used to it by now?”
Trish grinned and opened her door.
“You’d think, but no.”
“Then why do you keep doing it?” I reluctantly opened my door and stepped out, but I was ready to bolt at any moment.
Trish stopped and thought about it for a moment.
“I have no idea.”
