Duchess (2011)
“Mia stared at her mother. She gulped. How had Mom found out? “I didn’t promise anything. This boy in my class, Logan, told me about a cat. He was supposed to find out more and call me. I don’t even know her name.”

Mia grabbed the can....

She felt frustrated. Why couldn’t Logan have called her first, the way he’d said he would?MoreLess
