Forever begins now.

Excerpt
I don’t know why I didn’t notice him before because he was the best looking boy I had ever seen. Not really a boy. A man. Maybe nineteen, I figured.  He had dark hair and eyes but light skin, and he was tall and muscular. He was beautiful, like a model, shining under the lights.
Perfect.
He shook my mother’s hand, and the three of them walked on the tiled floor further into the house without saying a word to me.
Invisible.
There. That’s the moment my life changed. No, I didn’t realize it, yet. I didn’t know that anything special had happened. I certainly didn’t know that Cruz would save my life, and I would save his - at least for a while. That we would love each other and our love would be dangerous.

Praise for the Book
"The story is incredibly believable and heart wrenching, but I could definitely see a young woman going through similar struggles. These two characters will be seen again in the next book of the series. I do believe the young adult reader, early teens, would enjoy this story." ~ Anima M. Giraldez
"My Niece and I conversed for days about Forever Now. She has deemed it her GOAT (Greatest of All Time).This book is a gem for all ages. We are both eagerly anticipating the remainder of the story. Awesome start to a great series." ~ ViviBee
"I was completely blown away. I am sucked into this story. It hit home because I have known kids who have been dealt bad hands in life. It was fantastic, very well written. I can't wait until the next book in the series." ~ Amy
"This book was amazingly heartbreaking and wonderful all at once. Tess has a vile mother. Cruz steps in like a knight in tarnished armor and helps her survive when her mother abandons her. Young love grows and in the end Cruz encourages Tess to follow her dreams. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for the young lovers." ~ readaholic
