Hitting the target

the long version

Brooklyn Prescott couldn't be happier now that she's returned to The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence. She has her friends back, has returned to equestrian training and she's just about to turn eighteen. If only she didn't have that Brady complication in her life, everything would be perfect. But not only is that complication still there, Brady's become even harder to resist after Brooklyn's time away from him; absence makes the heart grow fonder after all. Plus there's that birthday gift he gave her that just about melted her heart. At least he's not her coach while he's recovering from his injury, so keeping her distance is somewhat easier. That is, until a stolen kiss crushes her resolve. Then Brooklyn's past meets her present in a heart-stopping moment that threatens to topple her carefully constructed house of cards. Brooklyn's half-truths all start to come back to haunt her and she realizes that part of being an adult is dealing with consequences, even when that means hearts get broken.
