Fortunate Misfortune - Paperback

by Miah Onsha (Author)

Mallory Edwards is the queen of plans and hers are always on schedule. Captain and soccer goalie for Clear Lake University? Check. 4.0 student? Check. On track for graduate school and an amazing career? Check. Everything is right on target.

Until it suddenly isn't. On top of grieving the loss of her father, a crumbling relationship with her mother, and a recent type 1 diabetes diagnosis, Mallory realizes her perfectly constructed plans are at risk of unraveling if she doesn't find an internship by the end of her junior year. And of course, the one thing standing between Mallory and a secured future is Kenneth Gray.

Kenneth Gray, a former nationally ranked swimmer, is everything Mallory isn't. The neutral to her vibrant. The spontaneous to her rigid. The only sparks that fly between them aren't the good kind, which is why it might be best they're nothing more than rivals.

But Kenneth has a secret. Unbeknownst to Mallory, the game they created together, the Brain Bowl, is at risk of ending. In one semester, Kenneth must not only secure his own future, but also find a way to keep Mallory in his life. Outside of their game.

Suddenly, the line between rivals and something more seems thinner than ever before.
