Finding the Way Home

Meet Evangeline Green. She has three brothers who loathe her, a dysfunctional family, and a grand total of zero friends.
For the last two years, nothing has been going her way.

Tenth grade comes around, her old friends moved the previous year and now it's her turn. As a new student, Evangeline has faith that she's going to have a fresh start to be whoever she wants.

But she only finds her old friends at the school. Fearful, she soon meets her protector, not that she sees him this way.

No, in her eyes, he's a ruggedly handsome senior who wants to use her for his own twisted purposes. Not wanting him to discover that she knows something's up, she plays along and looks for the deceit. Unconsciously, she falls in love with him, her mate.
