My secret?s out. Reed knows the truth. The destruction?s done. There?s no taking it back. Reed took all my firsts like a shiny present. He made promises with silky words I greedily kept as truths. But the moment I faltered, he took away everything. Now we?re both guilty of sins. As we come together for Grandfather Ian?s funeral, it?s time to face what I?ve done - what we?ve done. The boy I?ve loved since age eight is now a man; his rage palpable, his turquoise eyes piercing me with an intensity that sets me on fire. Each delicious kiss seems to peel away our ugly past- a past we?re desperate to escape. They say forgiveness comes from within. Can I trust him to forgive me? Have we both been enlightened? I used to believe in the fantasy of a happily ever after. Trouble is my life?s not a fairy tale. 'THE ENLIGHTENED' is second in 'The Entitled' duet. The story begins in 'The Entitled'.
