All The Right Wrong Turns
Abigail Patel has spent her whole life protecting her younger brother, Kiran. After losing their parents young and bouncing from one foster home to another, the only constant in her life has been him. Now at twenty-five, she's working long hours at a jewelry store to put him through college, determined to give him the stability they never had. Kiran, on the other hand, is struggling. College isn't easy, especially when he's got a relentless tormentor-Aiden Callahan, the rich, cocky, too-charming-for-his-own-good campus golden boy who seems to have made Kiran his personal project. But then Aiden walks into Abigail's store, and suddenly, he isn't so cocky anymore. Turns out, the arrogant bully has a weakness-her. He's smitten, and Abigail? She's furious. No way is she falling for the guy who makes her brother's life miserable. Not when she's spent years shielding Kiran from every hardship. But Aiden isn't backing down, and the more she pushes him away, the harder he tries to prove he's not the villain she thinks he is. Between love, loyalty, and a whole lot of misunderstandings, Abigail has to figure out if some people can change-or if this is one battle she can't afford to lose.
