❝Would it be wrong to think - to think, that I could make you so much happier?❞ Fawn Lockhart and Elliott Mass have never gotten along. The water and oil of people they avoid each other at all costs, and when they do interact it's nothing but petty bickering and insults. Naturally, the two are less than involved in the other's life - let alone love life. But things seem to change when Fawn's long time crush, and interest of her affection - Lawrence, the nice guy, academic - seems to reciprocate her feelings. The problem? Well, Lawrence isn't exactly a nice guy. And Elliott isn't exactly okay with that. Punches are thrown. Confessions are made. Tears stream. And an unexpected love will rise from the ashes of it all. Three people. Three perspectives. Three stories. Wrong Guy. WARNING : Swearing and domestic violence Cover by: heyitstat Highest Ranking in Teen Fiction: #49

In a small Indiana town, a teenage girl hasn't been seen for months, and her brother Reed is sketchy on the details. But seventeen-year-old Mayuri Krishnan doesn't know any of this-not yet. For her, Reed is the boy of her daydreams, the name she scribbles in her notebook, and the starring role of her online cliche mafia romance. When he stumbles upon her secrets, she first thinks Reed's claims to be from an Albanian crime family are lies intended to trick her. Soon, Mayuri begins to question the thin line between fiction and reality. Threats are made, daggers are drawn, and near-misses come too close for comfort. With Reed's promise to keep her safe from those who want her dead, and her growing belief that he may be lying about it all, Mayuri chooses to keep the dangerous part of her life a secret from her cop father. Things come to a head when she teams up with Reed's ex-girlfriend and best friend to uncover his secrets, leading to a night when a knife and a gun determine all their futures. She didn't mean to run away from a murder. She didn't have a choice. Abducted by someone she trusted, Mayuri must use all her wiles to save herself. The true lies that drew Reed and Mayuri together-and the false truths they discover along the way-could drive them apart forever.
