When Kate returns home to boarding school, she must fend off her ex-boyfriend who is now dating her sister and her childhood bully desperate to learn her newfound secrets. *** An Enemies to Lovers Romance: When Kate is forced to move back home to boarding school only to be confronted by the school's infamous bad boy and her childhood bully, she is quickly reminded of the reasons she wanted to leave so desperately in the first place- her cheating ex boyfriend being one of those reasons. However, Kate finds herself put in multiple precarious positions with Lachlan and faces questions about their quick changing relationship. Tortured with past family secrets and the question of her parentage and the danger that accompanies that knowledge, Kate is in more peril than ever, and this blooming romance between her and a boy who used to make her life a living hell isn't helping with her confusion and fear. Can she push past the reservations she holds against Lachlan and truly let him into her heart to face the danger together, or will they be forever stained by the afterglow of the traumatic past and damage that she refused to share with anyone besides herself?

I think that sometimes the universe likes to play sick jokes on people. Like sometimes you drop the ice cream you've been craving on the floor before you're able to get a bite or you crack the screen of your brand new cell phone. Or sometimes you get the first detention of your life on the same day your middle school bully comes back from a delinquent school and get locked in the library with him and his brothers (who you haven't talked to since the 8th grade.) Yep. The universe just loved playing sick jokes on Thea Caruso. ~~~ Thea Caruso had spent her entire childhood with her 2 best friends Kevin & Devin Preston but like every young friendship it slowly got to the point where they wouldn't even acknowledge each other in school. She didn't hold anything against them. It's just how things go. Strangers to Friends to Best Friends to Strangers. There is one Preston that she does have ill feelings for. Marc Preston. The troublesome younger triplet that had always made Thea's life a living hell and he's back and ready to start his reign of terror. There's only one problem... Thea Caruso isn't the same girl he picked on in 8th grade. She isn't scared to bite back now. { Book 4 of The Preston Series }
