Midwest Roots
I’m His Sister—But Fate Wants More
Sometimes, the only way to rewrite a tragedy is to crash headfirst into it. Vanessa, a world-weary fixer, wakes up in a rain-soaked Midwest town with a single mission: give Mason Grant—the brooding, broken antihero—a shot at love and a happy ending. The catch? She's stuck playing his reluctant big sister, and he's the last person on earth who wants saving. As debts pile up, wounds both old and new threaten to break them, and every gesture of warmth risks crossing a dangerous line, Vanessa must outwit fate itself. But when the plot goes off the rails and real feelings get tangled with her mission, can she really change Mason’s story—or will she be written out for good? How do you teach someone to love when the world has only ever taught them pain?
