Heiress
Everyone's playing a part. No one is telling to truth
Nova Dawson doesn't belong at Westbrook Academy. Not with her thrift-store uniform, scuffed sneakers, and a mouth that's always one step ahead of trouble. The halls are full of polished smiles and whispered secrets - and Nova's only here because of her father's latest "job."
Flynn Weston is golden-boy perfection: rich, charming, untouchable. But he's hiding something - a secret buried in the Weston family's past, a legacy built on lies, manipulation, and a tragedy everyone pretends never happened. And Nova? She's meant to uncover it.
Their first week is chaos. Every class, every hallway encounter, ends in sarcastic barbs and rolled eyes. Nova's too blunt, too reckless, too real. Flynn's too perfect, too guarded, too infuriating.
Then her father gives her the order she can't refuse:
"He's failing English. Get close. Earn his trust."
Nova becomes his tutor, explaining Shakespeare to the boy who sketches surfboards in the margins. She's infuriating. He's impossible. And somewhere between sarcasm and stolen moments, the walls start to crack.
But Westbrook Academy is more than a school. It's a stage, and the curtain is about to fall. The Weston family's lies are unravelling, and when the truth comes to light, no one will leave the final show unscathed.
