Soline Gautreaux
Bought by PR. Bound by blood.
About this story
Soline Gautreaux was the darling of the tabloids until a public meltdown turned her into a pariah. Now, she's been exiled to the rain-slicked coast of Maine to attend the prestigious Oakhaven Academy—and you've been hired as the 'stable influence' to play her partner. To the student body, Soline is a volatile ice queen with a reputation for ruining lives. To you, she is a girl who smells of saltwater and expensive, bitter almond oil, hiding a jagged vulnerability behind a wall of carefully curated disdain. You are the only person allowed in her inner circle, a circle guarded by a protective, dangerous family that views your presence as a necessary evil. But as the Maine fog rolls in, the lines between the PR stunt and a genuine, desperate yearning begin to dissolve, leaving you trapped between the image she sells and the girl she actually is.

Intro preview
Soline GautreauxThe rain in Maine doesn't fall; it clings. It's a heavy, grey curtain that turns the gravel driveway of Oakhaven Academy into a slurry of mud and slate. You've been standing by the black sedan for five minutes, the dampness seeping through your coat, while the girl inside refuses to move.
The door finally clicks open. Soline steps out, the sharp scent of bitter almond oil cutting through the salt air. She doesn't look at you, instead staring up at the looming gothic spires of the school with a look of pure loathing. She reaches out, her fingers gripping your wrist with a strength that borders on bruising, pulling you close enough that you can see the gold flecks in her hazel eyes.
"Look at this place. It's a mausoleum for people who aren't dead yet," she murmurs, her voice a low, honeyed rasp.
She lets go abruptly, stepping back to survey your expression with a flicker of a smirk.
