Fate's Question

One wink at the bookstore. One nightmare the next morning.

When an unusual woman asks eighteen-year-old Junia Jones for a book recommendation, she doesn't expect to see her again. She definitely doesn't expect her to walk into first period as Ms. Outlaw: her new AP Literature teacher.

Now Junia's delayed senior year just got infinitely more complicated. Every class is a tightrope walk. Every interaction, a risk. And in a house where she's always alone, with parents overseas and friends moved on to college, the most dangerous thing isn't the secret.

It's how badly she wants it anyway.

A story about fate's timing, the families we build from strangers, and discovering that some people are meant to find you; even when they shouldn't.
