I kept backing away from him, circling the desk as he kept approaching, each step of mine getting more shaky. "Stay. Back." I said it again. He sighed, as if I were an annoying tune on repeat.

If she can study it, she can copy it well enough to fool almost anyone. She never planned to make a life out of forgery, but plans become less important when her grandfather falls ill and the bills keep getting worse. So when a man from the CIA offers her more money than she's ever seen in exchange for her talent, Colette says yes. The job pulls her into Nocturne, a criminal organization built on secrecy, violence, and people she was never supposed to get close to. Especially Harry Styles. Harry is dangerous, unpredictable, and far too observant for someone Colette needs to deceive. The longer she stays in his world, the harder it becomes to keep her lies straight, and the more she realizes that one mistake could cost far more than the money she came for. Colette has spent years learning to fake almost anything. She is about to find out how much harder it is to fake your way past a man who does not trust anyone. - highest rankings: #1 harrystyles #1 darkharry
