When You're Young

Sixteen-year-old Emma Walker's world revolves around one thing-horses.

But Emma's perfect days at the barn come with one major downside-Luke, the barn owner's infuriating son, and his equally annoying group of friends.

And she can't even escape Luke at school. Just to make things worse, he also happens to be friends with none other than her former best friend-now sworn enemy-Jaclyn Alcott.

As if juggling horses, friendships, and high school isn't hard enough, Jaclyn seems to have made it her mission to make Emma's life miserable-both at school and at horse shows.

But when Emma and Luke are thrown into unexpected close proximity, she begins to realize there might be more to him than she's always assumed. Too bad there isn't a world where they can be anything more than enemies-at least not publicly.

But Emma is about to learn that keeping Luke's secrets isn't her only problem. Because as they begin to uncover the truth about his long-lost mother, it's becoming far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Set years before The Impelled Series, this prequel follows Emma's story as a teenager-where first horses, first love, friendships, dangerous secrets, and a mystery lurking where she least expects it will change everything she thought she knew.

This book can be read as a standalone or as part of The Impelled Series. The series is best enjoyed starting with this prequel or Book One.
