Always A Choice - Daughter of Deception, #1

Fed up with years of constant tests, patronizing teachers, and stifling rules, half-fae shapeshifter Jess wants nothing more than to be done with LaMour Academy. But when she's caught trying to escape, she's offered the opportunity of a lifetime to get her to stay: a second chance that could make or break her future. If successful, this high-stakes undercover assignment would prevent a war in the Realm.
Not only that, it may be Jess's only shot left to prove herself after the disaster of her last mission three years ago. If caught, she could pay with her life, but that's a risk Jess is willing to take. What's harder to accept is the mission's other cost: being forced to work with an enigmatic older half-sibling she's never met and Penn, the annoying fairy who made her life miserable as a kid. Together, the ragtag trio has the right skills and experience to pull off the rescue-if they can get along, that is. When the mission takes an unexpected turn, Jess is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about her orders, her partners, and the Fae as a whole.
And worse, as she gets closer to discovering the truth, her own secrets threaten to unravel everything she's built so far. To save the future, Jess will have to do the thing that scares her most: confront her past.
