Wrecked Palace Catherine Cowles

One night was all it took for everything to change.

From college student to guardian in a single breath.

My siblings became my world.



No time for date nights or romantic dreams.

I traded quiet weekends for sleepless nights.

Giving my all to make sure they were cared for.



But Griffin had a brokenness that called to me-one that mirrored my own.

Gruff and just a little bit reckless.

He was the last thing I needed. But everything I wanted.



Only someone isn't happy about this new life I'm building.

Deciding to set fire to everything I hold close.

And when the smoke clears, there might be only ashes left behind...
