When Margo moves from her tiny, Catholic, all girls boarding school to Stonebridge Academy she thinks her life will change for the better. After all, Stonebridge has exceptional academics as well as a viciously competitive and equally prestigious riding team.
Never having been in a real high school setting, she prepares herself for a year of studying, riding, and life as it is. Instead, she is met with a hurricane of drama, boys, parties, mean girls, trouble, and so much more.
Will Margo be able to pull off her first year?

After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister.
For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives.
For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind.
Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn.
As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
