Family secrets, first kisses, and a forbidden boy...

Malcolm Dearing has wide, wide shoulders and messy brown hair, and he looks at me with fire in his eyes.

But my uncle says I'm not allowed to talk to anyone from the Dearing Family. He won't tell me why, and neither will my cousin Celia. Since I'm staying with them for the summer, I have to follow their rules.

I've told Malcolm I can't spend time with him, but he keeps showing up everywhere I go, saying things that make me want to get to know him. Trying to stay away from him is only making me think of him more.

I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out. But torn between my family's expectations and my heart, I'm not sure if the risk is worth it.
