Sharp and charismatic, Charlotte Lockwood is not only the heiress of Lockwood Technologies but also the much-needed conscience of the company. After making it through business school without losing her soul, she has now taken a seat at the board of directors along with her older brother and father. Often seen as the future of the company, she hopes to take it in a new direction after a series of scandals and financial troubles plaguing Lockwood for the last couple of years. But those plans go right out the window when the enigmatic and relentless CEO Roman Lowell bursts onto the scene, seemingly out of nowhere, with a vendetta against her father and leaving Charlotte as collateral. Roman has one purpose: revenge. After his father dies under suspicious circumstances, he blames Charlotte's father, his own father's sworn enemy, and former business partner. Assuming that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, he has no problem using Charlotte in his plot by using blackmail to get her to agree to marry him. Besides, what better way to get back at a man than to have his daughter take the last name of his greatest adversary? While Charlotte and Roman are playing a dangerous game of love and retribution, someone else is lurking around playing an even more sinister game with possibly deadly consequences.

Marley is good at pretending. Pretending that she's not traumatized by her sister's death. Pretending that she doesn't feel guilty for being the cause of the accident that killed her sister. Pretending she's fine. Even her closest friends are unaware of her past. Omitting the truth is now just part of her. Until Liam, the persistent and flirtatious nephew of her next-door-neighbors moves in. For some reason, Marley finds it hard to keep her carefully constructed façade intact around Liam. For the last three years her guilt has made her try to make up for her sister's absence. Formerly a rebel without a cause with abysmal grades and an even worse attendance record, she has turned a 180 and became the perfect student with perfect grades in an attempt to go to med school, which was her sister's biggest dream. Marley figures if she can achieve June's dreams, then maybe she isn't completely gone, maybe she didn't just die for nothing Maybe her parents will finally utter her name again. Maybe her overwhelming guilt will finally go away. Maybe she'll finally, truly be at peace. Cover by @flowermindd
