𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕠𝕟 𝕎𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤 had high hopes for her senior year. That was until she caught her long term boyfriend of five years, Shaun, kissing the easiest girl in Fayette County. And to make it worse, Shaun started taking over all her old spots, sitting in her favorite section of the library, or her typical cafeteria seat. She feels like everything that was hers now belongs to him, and there is nothing she can do about it. Not unless she confronts him, and she'd really, really rather not. 

And if that wasn't stressful enough, she gets partnered up for a semester long creative writing project with ℕ𝕠𝕒𝕙 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕘, her twin brother's best friend. Together, they have to figure out how they're going to complete a 30k novella by the end of the semester. And if Noah sucks, he's going to blow her one shot at landing a debut publishing deal. But how is she supposed to focus with Noah sitting right beside her?

The Wrong Girl by CjArcher
19 parts Complete
It's customary for Gothic romance novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah Smith just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic and the companion to an earl's daughter with a strange affliction of her own, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head and food in her belly when so many orphans starve on the streets. Yet freedom is something Hannah longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of kidnapping. Taken by handsome Jack Langley to a place known as Freak House, she finds herself under the same roof as a mad scientist, his niece, a mute servant and Jack, a fire starter with a mysterious past. They assure Hannah she is not a prisoner and that they want to help her. The problem is, they think she's the earl's daughter. What will they do when they discover they took the wrong girl? A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: When I set out to write the Freak House series, I wanted to put my own spin on the Gothic novels of the Victorian era. I've always loved their creepiness, the secrets, and the romance too, but I wanted to see the story from the perspective of the character that is often present but never the heroine - the girl kept in the attic. I hope you'll enjoy this trilogy as much as I enjoyed writing it.
