The novel "Deadly Little Secrets" is part of Laurie Faria Stolarz's Touch Series of books, which focus around Camelia Hammond. Camelia Hammond is an ordinary and pretty sixteen year-old girl who attends Freetown High School. She is best friends with Kimmie and Wes. Three months before the book "Deadly Little Secrets" begins, a mysterious boy saves Camelia from being hit by a car.

At school the following year, Camelia discovers the new boy in school is named Ben Carter and is also apparently a murderer. Seeking closure from the car incident, Camelia seeks friendship with Ben and is instantly attracted to him. At the same time, Camelia begins receiving gifts, phone calls, and notes from what is apparently a secret admirer, whom later begins stalking Camelia. The notes and messages become angrier and angrier, leading Wes and Kimmie to suspect that Ben cannot be trusted.

Yet Camelia trusts Ben, who explains that his girlfriend, Julie, accidentally fell from a cliff during a date they had. Ben also reveals that he is psychometric, meaning he can sense and see through touching people. He tells Camelia she is in grave danger, and that she needs to trust him. It is revealed in time that Matt, Camelia's ex-boyfriend, is her stalker. He kidnaps Camelia, who is then rescued by Ben. Following the rescue, Ben decides to leave town.
