The Wilder Way
Cassia Wilder has never been what you'd call normal. As the youngest in a loud, chaotic, and fiercely protective household-with six older brothers-ordinary was never an option. Sure, it had its perks: inside jokes, wild games, and an unbreakable bond. But it also meant rules, restrictions, and barely a moment to herself. Now, at 16, with a prestigious college in London on the horizon, Cassia is determined to make the most of her final summer at home. For two months, she's breaking free-no rules, no supervision, just a taste of the teenage freedom she's always craved. But with her brothers watching her every move and her own reckless streak threatening to spiral, this summer might turn out wilder than she ever imagined. PS. None of the images belong to me
