Casey Robins tenía seis años cuando se encontró a su padre tendido en el salón, rodeado por un charco de sangre y con un trébol de cuatro hojas sobre el zapato. Casi veinte años después, llega a la ciudad de Nueva York con la intención de empezar un nuevo capítulo en su vida. Sin embargo, será en el mismo día cuando la inspectora presencie un asesinato en circunstancias inquietantemente similares. Esta vez tiene una pista: el homicidio está relacionado con las Ranas Dardo, la banda irlandesa liderada por Grant O'Riley, conocido por el nombre de 'El Suertudo' por su talento para cometer delitos atroces sin jamás ser relacionado con ellos. Cuando sus superiores deciden que debe trabajar en cubierto, Casey conoce a Jamie Wells, un inspector que lleva dos años infiltrado en el crimen organizado de Grant El Suertudo tratando de recabar información para hacer caer su imperio criminal. Tras la muerte de un miembro de las Ranas Dardo, es consciente de que las miradas estarán puestas en ella más que nunca. Pero eso no importa, porque Casey está decidida a llevar a la justicia a los asesinos de su padre y no hay nada capaz de detener a una chica que quiere venganza. Un asesinato, dos policías y el trébol de cuatro hojas que lo desencadenó todo. ¿Conseguirán los detectives resolver los crímenes, o se les escapará Grant O'Riley como a todos los que intentaron darle caza anteriormente?

Micah Greeneway is invisible. Not the teen angst kind but actually invisible. It's hereditary, a family secret locked up like Area 51, but that's not really how he rolls. Even with his mother's disapproval, Micah continues the vigilante life style. After all, it's not that dangerous, right? Because no one can see him coming, literally. Except being a vigilante isn't as glamorous as Hollywood makes it out to be. Suddenly, Micah not only finds himself being noticed by the soccer boy next door but also some unsavory characters that want to abuse this so-called gift to commit a heinous crime. Now he has to juggle keeping his friends and loved ones safe while also maintaining his own personal morals. It's time for Invisible Boy to step up and be a real hero or watch all his hard work disappear just as quick as he can.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction

Carter thought he knew what he was getting into when he was hired as the secretary to cutthroat CEO Faith Becker. Romance may not have been on the agenda, but the line between business and pleasure seems to be blurring. ***** Eager to gain business experience before he takes over his father's company, and to learn from someone who will see him as more than a spoiled heir, Carter Pierce accepts a job working for the most difficult CEO in town.

But even as they drive each other crazy in and out of the office, there's a chemistry between them that's hard to ignore.
