And away from everything she'd ever loved. Away from him. Eleven years later the life she built is falling apart. Her marriage is circling the drain, her future feels like a mistake, and the home she's spent years building no longer feels like hers. Then her father dies. Suddenly there's a funeral to attend, grieving family that needs support, and a perfectly respectable reason to put two thousand miles between herself and the wreckage of her perfect life. She's back in Oceanside. And Andrew Cody is exactly where she left him.

The Cody's were a notorious criminal family in Oceanside, headed up by their matriarch Smurf. She kept her boys in line, raising them to get what they want, not what they deserve no matter the cost, and they did it well. But then there was Cameron, the youngest and only remaining girl. She was sugar in a world full or arsenic, but as the poison seeped down her family line and Cameron started doing jobs with her brothers, would she survive the world her mother had built? Only time would tell.

Lowen Clarke doesn't exist anymore. At least, that's what she needs everyone to believe. Running from a life she barely escaped, she lands in Oceanside, California with nothing but a stolen secret. The last thing she needs is to get attached. The last person she should want is Andrew Cody. But the Codys have a way of pulling you in, and dirty laundry often has a way of finding the light.

(OC X Andrew 'Pope' Cody) Ana has known Baz since she was 15, they have been through thick and thin together and now she's a part of the Cody family. When J Cody shows up after the passing of his mother and the man she's been in love with since the moment she was introduced to the family comes home from jail, Ana's life goes from smooth sailing to chaotic. Will the man she's loved since being children finally recognise her and turn his attention away from his brother's girl? Will she be able to keep the Cody family together when they face their toughest times?

Joy has spent the last ten years running. From cold towns and worse apartments. From men who raised their voices too quickly. From motel rooms with broken locks and memories that still wake her up at three in the morning. By twenty-seven, she's learned how to survive quietly: keep moving, keep smiling, never stay long enough to belong anywhere. Oceanside, California was never supposed to be permanent. Neither was The Drop. After walking into the bar looking for work, Joy unexpectedly finds herself pulled into the orbit of the Cody family - a dangerous, volatile crime family held together by loyalty, violence, and Smurf Cody's suffocating control. Deran gives her a chance behind the bar, and what starts as an easy friendship slowly turns into something far more complicated as Joy becomes entangled in the family's lives. Especially Pope's. Quiet, observant, and deeply unsettling, Pope sees too much too quickly - the scars hidden beneath Joy's tattoos, the exhaustion she disguises with humour, the careful way she keeps one foot permanently out the door. As the lines between survival and belonging begin to blur, Joy finds herself becoming attached to the worst possible people she could ever learn to love. But nobody enters the Cody family untouched. And nobody leaves unchanged. A slow-burn fanfiction. This book will include heavy descriptions of drug use and addiction, self-harm scars/references, childhood abuse, domestic violence, emotional manipulation, mental illness, violence, trauma, sexual themes, and mature language. The feedback you guys gave me after i wrote my Jack Abbot books was AMAZING, thank you so much! I don't feel terrified sharing things i've written now, this will be VERY different to the other two books and a lot darker but i hope you enjoy it as much!
