Isabelle Carson didn't account for a hot, new guy who almost runs her over, a messed up class schedule, and a boyfriend who dumps her for one of her best friends. All of that pales to the threat of her dirty family secrets breaking free from the perfect façade she’s diligently maintained. 
Grayson Alexander is on his fourth school in as many years. Lakewood Valley High is exactly like all the others, with one shiny exception: Isabelle Carson. She’s smart, funny, and beautiful. But Isabelle is hiding something, and Grayson is determined to win her trust.
As Isabelle’s life spirals out of control and her picture-perfect image begins to shatter, Grayson does what no one else can: he makes her laugh and allows her to be imperfect. But Grayson has been damaged by his own family secrets, and Isabelle will have to decide if the boy she’s falling for more and more each day is a right or a wrong.

Perfectly ImperfecT

"Is there something I can do for you?" 


I gasp at the unexpected sound and open my eyes to find a woman walking down the aisle. When she gets closer, I recognize her as Sandra, Pastor Rick's wife.


"Shouldn't you be in school?" she asks. There's zero judgment in her tone, and I never knew I could be so grateful for something so small. 


I nod and bite the inside of my cheek, but the tears come regardless. "I'm sorry. I can go." I turn to leave when she puts her hand gently on my arm. 


"You don't have to leave." She gives me a soft smile. "In fact, I'm guessing you need to be here."


I sniffle and wipe the tears from my face. "Thank you." My voice trembles.


"Pastor Rick isn't here, but maybe I can help. Come on." She leads me to the closest pew, and I sit. She slides in next to me, angling her body so she can face me, elbows resting on the back of the pew. "What's on your mind?"
