Chasing Truth (Eleanor Ames #1)
by Julie Cross
Publication Date: September 27,
2016
Publisher: Entangled TEEN
At Holden Prep, the rich and powerful
rule the school—and they’ll do just about anything to keep their
dirty little secrets hidden.
When former con artist Eleanor Ames’s
homecoming date commits suicide, she’s positive there’s something
more going on. The more questions she asks, though, the more she
crosses paths with Miles Beckett. He’s sexy, mysterious,
arrogant…and he’s asking all the same questions.
Eleanor might not trust him—she
doesn’t even like him—but they can’t keep their hands off of
each other. Fighting the infuriating attraction is almost as hard as
ignoring the fact that Miles isn’t telling her the truth…and that
there’s a good chance he thinks she’s the killer.

***EXCERPT***
“You’re
the opposite of shy.”
He
seems to deliberate for a minute, then says, “Now I am.”
“And
before?”
“I
guess it’s easier to shed that part of me, starting in a new place
where no one knows me, especially with the job I’m doing,” he
says. “We’re all a little more bold in costume.”
I
look up at him, trying not to seem disappointed. If he’s really
shy, then that’s the Miles I want to know. “So it’s all part of
being undercover?”
He
shuffles closer until only six inches separate us. “That’s the
thing…I’m not sure it’s an act anymore. Maybe I was covered up
before and this is the real me, or close to it. Maybe the labels we
give ourselves early on hold us back from seeing what’s really
there.”
I’m
still standing there, mulling that over, when Miles brushes past me,
whispering, “Good night, Ellie.”
Just
the sound of my name rolling off his tongue gets my heart racing. And
he knows it. And he knows that I know he knows. I laugh all the way
to the guest room. Shy my ass.
