Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.

Olivia Murray, a 29 year old successful attorney has had enough with her families intrusion on her personal love life.

Will the strong independent woman that Olivia has come to be accept help when she needs it the most, when her own life is threatened and more importantly what will she do when something so much more fragile is put at risk, something like her heart?

Sabrina Welsh was just a simple waitress when Liam Collins walked into her life. He wanted her but she was too cautious to let him have her. So he gave a offer she would be too foolish to turn down. Be his paid girlfriend. "God you're so fucking sexy," he'd breathed, his face moving closer to mine. "Go out with me," he groaned. I gasped before nodding. His scent was so intoxicating. His eyes so hypnotizing... "Kiss me," he growled, his eyes suddenly dark and wild with...with lust.
