Keeping Her Secret (Endless Summer series)
by Sarah Nicholas
Release Date: August 22, 2016
Genre: YA Contemporary F/F Romance
Two girls.
One kiss.
The last
person Riya Johnson expected to run into at her new summer camp is Courtney
Chastain—her childhood best friend and the girl who broke her heart after a
secret, mind-blowing, life-altering kiss. She definitely didn’t expect to be
sharing a bunk bed with her for four long weeks.
Courtney
has what every girl wants—she’s beautiful, rich, and the object of every boy’s
desire at Camp Pine Ridge. Too bad none of them make her feel an iota of what
Riya’s kiss did all those years ago. But Courtney needs to uphold appearances
at all costs—even if it means instigating an all-out prank war with Riya as her
main target.
Neither
girl can stop thinking about the other...but that doesn’t mean they can give up
past hurts and take a chance on a future together.
Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains drinking, sexual situations, and a fairy-tale romance sure to make your heart melt.

Excerpt:
A
breeze ruffled her ponytail and Riya's gaze snapped to the door. Courtney
strolled in like a freaking Nordic Goddess with her head held high, cheeks
flushed and skin glowing. Sunkissed legs stretched from a pair of sparkly
sandals up for miles and miles until finally disappearing under the hem of
low-hung white shorts. Flashes of smooth stomach teased as her pink top moved
with every graceful step.
Riya's
heart pounded in her chest. Courtney Chastain was trying to kill her. That
outfit was a perfectly crafted murder weapon. Checking to make sure her mouth
didn't hang open, Riya tore her gaze from Courtney and swallowed. Hard.
Beside
her, Colt slid down the bench, away from Riya. Riya didn't know why until
Courtney froze five feet from them. She glanced at Riya then shook her head at
her brother. Colt rolled his eyes in response, patting the sliver of bench
between them.
"Miss
Chastain, please take your seat so we may continue," Bob Fazio called, a
small chuckle breaking through his voice.
It was
then Riya noticed she wasn't the only one distracted by Courtney's entrance.
Excluding her brother, every boy in the room aged twelve to eighteen stared in
their direction—and some of the girls, too.
Riya
watched a wide range of emotions pass over Courtney's face in less than a
second before she straightened her shoulders in some kind of resolve. Her hair
tumbled to her elbows in gentle waves. Sighing, she tossed the golden strands
over her shoulder before spinning and squeezing her hips between Riya and Colt.
The
welcome talk continued, but Riya only caught fleeting fragments of the
briefing. Something about the daily schedule and a talent show on the last day.
Approximately 98 percent of her attention narrowed in on the seven inches of
Courtney's white-silk skin pressed against Riya's outer thigh.
Riya
took a deep breath to steady herself, but caught the sweet rose petal scent
wafting from Courtney. She inhaled one deep breath, reveling in the heavenly
smell, before shaking her head.
Ridiculous.
She was being completely ridiculous.
She'd
never let anyone have such an overwhelming effect on her. Certainly not someone
like Courtney, someone who couldn't—or wouldn't—return her affections. Someone
who had broken her heart four years ago and never once looked back.
Riya
stared at her own shoelaces, actively un-focusing on the girl sitting next to
her.
Trying
to, anyway.
Next
thing she knew, everyone stood around her and the room buzzed with
conversation. The welcome event was over.
"Earth
to Riya."
Teaser:
"What do you mean
by adorable?"
Courtney bit her lip as
a smile slid across her face. If Riya didn't know better, she'd think Courtney
was teasing her. "Cute. Charming. Endearing." Her left eyebrow shot
up in a suggestive gesture. "Kissable."
The word struck her like
a flash of lightning. Riya's entire cardiovascular system froze for a second,
before jump-starting into double-time. "Courtney," she warned.
"Don't do this."
"What?"
Courtney asked, her voice dripping with faux innocence. "This?" She
reached a hand over and stroked a single finger from Riya's knee, up to her
hemline. A line of fire flared across its path.
