(Book 1) Everyone over the age fifteen in the small town of Simcoe has vanished. No warning. No explanation. No trace. Cellphones won't turn on. Websites won't load. The news has gone silent. Every adult is simply gone. Cut off from the outside world and possibly the last survivors on earth, the remaining children are left to fend for themselves. Some act out recklessly. Others try to control. New bullies and victims rise, and secrets once buried begin to resurface. But the disappearance isn't the only threat. Stranges powers are awakening in some of them. Something toxic flows through that's unnatural, dangerous, and spreading. As chaos tightens its grip on Simcoe, hope of rescue begins to fade. For those fourteen and under, normal life us over.

Before she can even process her loss and her feelings she's suddenly thrown into a new work environment where she works at FixedTech, the top tech company. Things are finally looking up for her that is until she meets the CEO. His chilling demeanor is enough to make an entire room go silent and his tyrant ways make the pay worth every penny according to FixedTech employees. But why does it feel like he's the exact opposite whenever she's with him? It couldn't possibly be love, could it at least that's what she tells herself as she pushes aside the impossible. How is she supposed to react when she finds out her boss is associated with the mafia?
