****Completed, but under revision.**** ***SUPER SLOW BURN MATURE 18+*** After struggling her way through university, Mina Harlow, a top tier graduate (and literal genius), with the aspiration of lifting her family out of poverty, was still living in the slums, taking odd jobs to earn a living. All of her hard work had been for nothing and her life is cast into turmoil because she offended the wrong Miss from a prominent family. Desperate to for her next source of income, Mina aligns herself with the wrong people, and finds herself amid several conspiracies that keep becoming more and more confounded by misunderstandings. She is mistaken for a spy, by one of the most influential families in the country and held captive as the confusion, mishaps and misunderstandings build up all around her. Under the extreme circumstance, Mina is thrown into despair, hatred and love all that the same time, but will the experience break her or make her ‘better?’ (This story is set in a fictional, modern day patriarchal society on the brink of a shift public opinion on the 'role' of the woman.) Excerpt: "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm stupid," Mina replied. The man laughed sarcastically. "I disagree. I think you are a very smart girl." "Being smart does not mean you can not be stupid." Who told her she was a genius anyway? ***THIS IS AN ADULT STORY WITH AN ADULT THEME. THERE IS VIOLENCE AND IMPLIED VIOLENCE. THERE IS ROMANCE IN THIS STORY, BUT IT IS NOT EXACTLY A LOVE STORY. ***

WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS VIOLENCE INCLUDING IMPLIED VIOLENCE. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. MOST CHAPTERS WILL BE MARKED TO INDICATE RACY OR TRIGGERING BEHAVIORS. Rhea Talons, the pack misfit, finds herself at the center of trouble despite trying her hardest to disappear. She is not a ‘typical wolf’ and after being diagnosed by doctors as having high functioning autism, she becomes an outlier. Still, Rhea does everything in her power to strengthen her father’s pack, but that too has a negative impact, and even damages the loving relationship she once shared with her older sisters. All those things are compounded by the torment Rhea faces at the hands of the future alpha of her pack’s closest ally. To make matters worse, there is a good chance that he will be fated to one of her sisters, meaning she will never be able to escape his torment, and he may even turn her family against her. Follow Rhea and her family as they navigate through drama and betrayal. Will the girl continue to fold until she breaks, or will the tides change in her favor?
