THE WRONG SIDE OF HIS LAST NAME

Adaeze Baby YA&Teenfiction

THE WRONG SIDE OF HIS LAST NAMEShe had one rule going into junior year.Don’t feel anything for Patrick Winslow.Easy enough, considering his father stole her house, bankrupted her family, and put her dad in prison for three years over a lie so clean it fooled an entire courtroom. Considering she’d spent four years sharpening herself into something dangerous specifically for this moment. Considering the only reason she enrolled at Harlow Academy was to get close enough to finish what Gerald Winslow started. Except this time, she’d be the one holding the match.The plan was simple. Get close. Find the weakness. Burn it down.What wasn’t in the plan was the way Patrick looked at her on the very first day, like he already knew she was coming. Like he’d been waiting. Like he was carrying something that belonged to her and hadn’t figured out yet whether to hand it over or run.He’s not supposed to be complicated.He’s not supposed to make her feel seen.He’s definitely not supposed to be the only person alive who holds the key to everything she lost.But here they are.Two sides of the same wound, bleeding in the same direction.
