Dahlias, Sapphires, and Cool Autumn Dusk — Rebecca Royce

The summer was only the beginning.Alatheia Winder survived the Hamptons. Somehow.She has a new home, four fiercely protective boys who would burn down the world for her, and secrets layered so deep not even she knows where they end.But as the leaves turn in Manhattan and the elite return to Pullman School for a glittering fall semester, it becomes clear: the past refuses to stay buried. Rumors swirl. Shadows stalk. And behind every whispered warning is the same question-What really happened to make her mother run?In a city built on reinvention, Alatheia is learning that freedom has a cost-and love doesn't always come with safety. The Lents are hiding something. Her aunt is hunting her. And the truth might be the most dangerous thing of all.A new season. A new city. And a girl who won't stop until she finds the truth-even if she shouldn't.
