Everly Sutton's Second Chance: Saving Lachlan Dawson at North Crestfall High

Blurb:


**She died betrayed, but fate gave her a reckless mission: rewrite history for the boy who sacrificed everything.**

At 27, Everly Sutton’s dying breath was wasted on a lying husband. Reborn as her 17-year-old self at **North Crestfall High**, she’s haunted by memories of **Lachlan Dawson**—the brooding outcast from **Ironwood Lane** whose secret loyalty cost him his life. Now, armed with grim foresight, Everly vows to dismantle the cruel hierarchy protecting golden boy **Graham Montgomery** and shield Lachlan from his grim fate.

But the rules have changed:
**Lachlan** isn’t the silent martyr she remembers—he’s a volatile, closed-off storm, radiating danger at every turn.
**Graham’s** “perfect” faade hides a vindictive monster who’ll sabotage anyone threatening his reign.
And every choice Everly makes to protect Lachlan knots them closer in a forbidden, electric bond neither can escape.

When a brutal confrontation exposes Lachlan’s ruthless protectiveness and Graham’s twisted cruelty, Everly realizes saving him might require breaking every rule—including her own heart.

§PROLOGUE

At twenty-seven, Everly Sutton died on her wedding anniversary, betrayed by her perfect husband and failed by her own heart.

The clinical beep of the heart monitor was the last sound she heard, a monotonous countdown to the end.

Her life didn’t flash before her eyes.

There was only a single, searing regret.

A boy’s face, fierce and broken, framed by the unforgiving shadows of an alleyway.

Lachlan Dawson.

She woke up ten years earlier, a seventeen-year-old girl in the chaotic hallways of North Crestfall High, with a second chance she never asked for, but now desperately needed.

Her mission was singular: save him.

The town's resident bad boy from Ironwood Lane.

The ghost from her past who had secretly sacrificed everything for her.

This time, she wouldn’t let him.

§01

The bell shrieked, a piercing sound that vibrated through Everly Sutton’s bones, dragging her back to a reality she still couldn’t accept.

It had been three days.

Seventy-two hours of living in a ghost’s skin.

Her own seventeen-year-old skin.

The body felt alien—lighter, quicker, buzzing with an energy her older self had long forgotten.

She stood frozen by her locker, the chaotic flood of students a blur of noise and faded denim.

A part of her, the twenty-seven-year-old widow, wanted to scream.

The other part, the terrified seventeen-year-old, just wanted to disappear.

Then she saw him.

And the world snapped into sharp, painful focus.

Lachlan Dawson.

He leaned against the far wall, a solitary island in the sea of chattering teenagers.

His school uniform was a rumpled mess, the tie loosened, the sleeves of his black hoodie frayed at the cuffs.

He was all sharp angles and coiled tension, a storm cloud of silent fury.

His head was down, staring at the scuffed toes of his boots, but she could feel the defensive aura radiating from him.

Don’t look. Don’t get close.

As if sensing her stare, he looked up.

His eyes, a startlingly intense shade of stormy grey, met hers for a fraction of a second.

There was no recognition. Just a flicker of surprise, then dismissal.

Of course. Why would there be?

To him, she was just Everly Sutton, the quiet, straight-A student. The girl who always followed the rules.
