THE DEAD CANNOT RETURN.
I had a choice.
My heart chose for me.
After the events at Caroll Manor, my life flipped upside down when I learned my origins were a twisted lie, altered by the people I thought I trusted most. And my mother... she's alive. But this fairytale has no happy ending. It's a nightmare I wasn't aware I was running from as the buried memories I suppressed come surfacing back. Venturing down memory lane in the hopes of restoring more than the past, our investigation is hindered when a new transfer student is accused of a murder that befalls the academy.
Makoto Kaiser.
He has all the qualities of a gentleman; however, he possesses the characteristics of a sly fox. A temptation dressed in valor, willing to fight for my honor like a true white knight, but his motives are anything but honorable. He's a trespasser dispatched by my biological father and twin to bring me home, but when accused of murder, he'll need more than our help to exonerate him.
LIES CAN BE HIDDEN, BUT NOT FOREVER.
We swore we'd break her.
It came with a price.
Love was never on the agenda. We lost that part of ourselves when our ex-girlfriend's death consumed us. Finding Ridley's sister's killer was all we wanted as we swore their demise. The road was paved with bad intentions. Then, Madelyn walked into our lives. This beautiful girl with an intelligence that matched ours. A witty banter that amused us. A stubbornness that challenged our own. And the most exotic eyes that shared our demons.
Unfortunately, she's not the only one to see.
Mako knows our secrets. He's ready to unleash them; however, in a sudden turn of events, he becomes a suspect in a murder and the kidnapping of the new chief of police. With the walls crumbling and enemies rising from underground to corner us all, we'll have to turn to one enemy who can keep Madelyn safe- even at the risk of losing her.
Our lies are past the point of no return, but nothing will be as hard as the truths we'll uncover.
