My Darling Arrow


Saffron A. Kent - 2020
    Itโ€™s not as if Iโ€™m ever going to send you this letter and there are a million reasons why.First of all, I was sent to St. Maryโ€™s School for Troubled Teenagers โ€“ an all-girls reform school โ€“ as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principalโ€™s hot son around the campus.Second of all, youโ€™re a giant jerk. Youโ€™re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldnโ€™t even like you.But strangely your coldness sets me on fire. The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that bike of yours, make me go inappropriately breathless. But thatโ€™s not the worst part. The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principalโ€™s hot son. You also happen to be the love of my sisterโ€™s life. And I really shouldnโ€™t be thinking about my sisterโ€™s boyfriend or rather fiancรฉ (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldnโ€™t have.)Now if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that Iโ€™ll never send and youโ€™ll never readโ€ฆNever yours,SalemNOTE: This book is a standalone and DOES NOT contain cheating.
