Keep Left

Chloe Dunn is the daughter of President Phix Dunn, and all it takes is one mistake to change a whole life. Her mother was killed in a robbery gone wrong when she was small, and for years it was just Chloe and her father, who gave her everything her heart desired. Then he met Eva Lyles, mother of two sets of twin boys, Deek, Keith, Caden and Haden, and Eva made no secret of despising the daughter who stood in her way. She was tolerated only because she was carrying Chloe's baby brother Miles, until Phix caught her trying to weasel her way into his businesses. Labelled defiant and rebellious, and a master of self-sabotage, Chloe has grown up feeling that nobody is in her corner. Now she is stepping away from the President's detail and moving into a townhouse of her own, driven there by Max, the bodyguard who keeps watching over her and refuses to be paid for it. A short story in the Federie collection, this follows Chloe through her ups and downs to see where she finally ends up.
