Dear Readers, Have you ever had your entire life mapped out, only for one person to come along and set it on fire? Yeah, that's basically my story. I'm Kalise Palmer. A future neurosurgeon and part-time hairstylist from August Town with a love for cars, bikes, and staying far away from trouble, although... on second thought, I'll let you find that part out for yourself. My life was simple and going according to plan... until Karion "Masterpiece" Stone showed up. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, he just so happens to be my brother's best friend. Trust me, he's not the kind of man a girl like me should be interested in. Not only is he my brother's best friend, but he's also an elite hacker, a private assassin, and the leader of one of the most wanted crew in the country. The gang goes by the name O Block, but no one knows he's the man calling the shots. He's carrying enough secrets to destroy my family. The worst part? I don't even know what those secrets are yet. But the deeper I fall for him, the more dangerous those secrets become. The worst part? He can't seem to stay away from me. It started with a haircut. One phone number. One appointment. One mistake. The closer I get to Karion, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings growing between us. But loving a man like him comes with a price, and when I uncover a secret capable of destroying everything, I'm forced into a deadly game I never signed up for. Now, I'm caught between loyalty and betrayal, love and survival. And the scariest thing isn't the enemies coming for us. It's the possibility that I'd risk everything for him. Love, Kalise
