Amelia is broke – no not heart broken, actually money broke. After losing her job, she is left with no money and with the date of the payment of the rent/bills coming up, she’s in need of a job – fast. But being at the age of seventeen and a full time scholarship student, how is she going to find a job at such short notice?

Growing teenaged boys. Amelia Wilcox, meet the Harrison boys. (THIS IS THE NEWER VERSION OF LATHB!)
