Written by Jenny Rosen & Edited/Developmentally Edited by Kristen Maglonzo @kaelking12 Love's a disappearing act, death's an illusion. When Hailey Anderson, daughter of a dangerous D.C. senator, slams into Caleb Evans, a pretty boy with a million-dollar smile and a million ugly secrets, she figures fate has finally given her an escape from the broken home she's desperate to distance herself from. Their seemingly star-crossed encounter results in her being drugged and dragged out of Washington as Caleb's ugly background bubbles to the surface. Caught between deadly family ties, financial desperation, and an intriguing new hostage, Caleb struggles to walk the line between loyalty and frightening new feelings for Hailey. When his brothers discover Caleb distancing himself from their last chance plan for survival turned federal crime, they stop at nothing to tear the two of them apart. When helping Hailey means losing everything, will Caleb stay barbwire-tied to his brothers or hold on to a hostage who's got a hold on him? ***The Runaways sequel, WANTED is now available on my profile!***

**This book is completed but will be edited immensely later (by which it may be very different to the original)** *Please excuse some of the random scenes and overall cringe as this was written when I was young* Trailer inside! (Book 1) - 'I looked at him through my sea blue eyes which were full of love, while he looked back with those two round circles of melted chocolate, wanting nothing more than friendship.' Me? Yeah, hey there, I'm Scarlett Evans and sorry I was too busy looking at Riley Allen, man he is to die for. I'm not desperate or anything... unless you call stalking him every day after every lesson, desperate. Scar has always liked Riley, ever since she was 8, she's always thought they were perfect for each other. But what happens when a third person suddenly arrives, declaring he's her mate, making things more complicated than they already were? And with her dad putting things into her head, she's bound to explode. Are his accusations real or just said out of pure hate? There's secrets behind the smile, love behind the anger, and loyalty behind the ultimate betrayal. Will she find herself falling for the gorgeous Tristan Adams, or will her heart stay loyal to the person she's always wanted?
