Description

The stranger I kissed at the airport was supposed to stay a stranger.

STELLA
For two and a half years, I’ve been Stella Ellis, waitress, owner of zero credit history and exactly one friend. Then an envelope shows up, addressed to the name my mother made me swear I’d never say out loud. Inside, a letter from an aunt I’ve never heard of invites me to California to learn the truth.

I’ve spent my life trying to be invisible, but when I collide with a gorgeous stranger at the San Francisco airport, something in me snaps. One kiss. No names, no strings. Except then I walk into Woodington Academy, and there he is, onstage with his friends while the whole school watches them like royalty.

But he’s not my biggest problem. When people find out my last name, they trade looks they think I don’t catch.

My mother spent my whole life hiding us. I’m starting to think she had a good reason.

POE
My life was mapped out before I could walk, down to the company I’ll run and the girl my parents will pick for me. Then a violet-eyed stranger crashed into me and kissed me like none of that mattered, and for five minutes, it didn’t.

In Folkestone, everybody knows who I am. Everybody except the girl from the airport, who shows up at Woodington carrying the one last name guaranteed to send my mother over the edge.

Bradleigh.

I know I should stay away. Since I don’t trust myself to do that, I’ll make sure Stella stays away from me.

A note on dark content: the darkness in Folkestone lives outside the relationships. The heroes are dangerous to everyone except the girls they love.
