Faith Mitchell was never confident. She was happy to blend into the background, much to the protest of her friends. At 16, her life was a normal teenage cliche. She was in love with Jace, the obnoxious player who she couldn't have, and her biggest worry was whether or not he would finally come to his senses and see that she really was the one for him. That is until she is kidnapped and recruited by a secret agency of assassins. She is torn away from her normal teenage life and thrown into a world of guns, knifes and criminals. The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on. Then, the agency has a new mission which involves Faith returning to her hometown, and facing her friends, family and the very boy who broke her heart just before it turned into stone. What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace? Will the obnoxious player be able to reach out and get the old Faith back without pressing any of her wrong buttons, considering that the shy girl he once knew now has a gun.

Things get complicated when Dylan's father, the manipulative and controlling owner of Hicaliber, interferes with Dylan's future and meddles in his relationships. Can Andy teach a messed up rich guy a lesson or two? Or will he end up being sucked into bad situations by the Rymans who play dangerous games of their own?

I feel my heart wheeze and my face flush red, but I couldn't care less anymore. It's like Jonah's the only reason I'm functioning, and goddammit is that bad. ~~~~~~~~ Antonio Finley is no stranger to crime. On many occasions he has been the face of bank robberies and tax frauds, spending all his money on whatever he wants like the greedy little shit he is. And a very feisty soul he is. So feisty, in fact, that he becomes a member of the local mafia for extra cash. When the mafia hears that the city police department is working on a plan to catch them, Antonio is sent to get close with one of the officers joining in on the plan, a man named Jonah Clayton, and get information on their intents. Thinking there would be no harm, Antonio took the deal, being paid a big wad of cash if he executed the job before the police striked. But what happens when this idiot falls for the cop he was told to use?

Everybody suspects they're more, Vincent's friends, Lucas' friends, the rest of the school, but they don't care what people think.
