Nora Grace, Emily's twin, was nothing like her sister. She tried to cause as little attention to herself, and only ever secretly wanted one thing: Grayson Hawthorne. She left Texas for a boarding school in New York after her sister's death. She'd fallen for Grayson Hawthorne, even though he and Jameson were wrapped around Emily's finger. There were short moments where they could have been something. The spark was undeniable. But he chose Emily, every time.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬, Jameson Hawthorne

She was never like Emily or Rebecca, but she still tried hard to be like them.. more so Emily. And when tragedy struck, she still blamed herself partly for what happened to her older sister, even now. There was always one thing that didn't change, and that was Jameson Hawthorne. Jameson was her best-friend- her person. And despite a few stolen kisses throughout the years, she has always longed for someone she could never have. It was always Emily, so she let him go. Until the moment she almost had him, tragedy struck, and Liz's heart closed for good. Except, when a mystery girl inherits all of Tobias Hawthorne's fortune, she couldn't help but let her heart be sucked back into all things Hawthorne- including Jameson. It's only when she realizes that her favorite Hawthorne will never be with her, and instead the mystery heiress that her heart crumbles that much more. - *I do not own the inheritance games nor the plot.

She may remember Avery and Libby, but there are things- memories that don't add up. So now, the only thing she's focused on is finishing out her Senior year of high school, and planning a better future for her and Avery. But when she's forced to go to Texas for a will reading, everything she's worked for goes off the rails. When Evelyn is left one of Tobias Hawthorne's most prized foundations, she's forced to stay; while helping her sister who has just inherited billions. Nobody knows why the two girls were left all of Tobias things, but the heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is out to get them: Her. The one who took what he's been waiting for his whole life from right under him. But as time passes, Evelyn can't help but look into the letter Tobias left her. This letter could be a link to her childhood- one last chance to so desperately remember what she can't, and once the truths are revealed- nothing will ever be the same.
