The Twin They Threw Away Came Back a Billionaire

Three days before the tuition deadline, Mia Fox has finally saved her first year's fees. But when she asks Marvin Stephens for the money, he admits he spent it on a dance class for her twin sister, Harper Fox, and tells Mia to reapply next year. For as long as she can remember, her mother has told her to give in to Harper, and Marvin, the one person she trusted, has quietly changed too.

When Marvin swaps her drink for a mango pomelo smoothie, he forgets Mia is allergic to mango. He packs Harper's bag for a trip, then takes them to a fairy-tale theme park instead of the ocean Mia always dreamed of, leaving her to carry the bags and find her own way home in the cold. At the graduation party, he announces on her behalf that she is repeating a year, while he and Harper head to Chicago.

With her college dream in pieces, Mia takes a live-in tutoring job and trades her old phone for the cheapest smartphone she can find. Some people, she decides, just aren't worth holding on to.
