Emily "Lily" Wilson had a tough life. With no family to help her, she was used to doing everything on her own. She raised herself, she thought of herself how to cook, and felt in love with baking. Her dream was to open her own place, where she could share her love for the sweet stuff with others. That was why she was at the bank that day. She expected to persuade them to have trust in her idea and get her a loan. What she didn't expect was being shot at, nor did she expect a hot man, covered from head to toes in black, to save her. And she definitely didn't expect that man to make himself a permanent place in her life, with his dog right beside him. But like everything in her life, even this hottie couldn't keep her safe from all the bad that was trying to catch her at every corner. He for sure will try his best, but will it be enough? "The Sweetest Thing" is Book 1 of the "SWAT Team" series. It can be read as a stand-alone.

"How many existentialists does it take to screw a lightbulb?" Spencer asked with a small laugh. Once again the room was silent. You faintly heard Agent Rossi mutter, "Don't." "2. One to change the light bulb and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of cosmic nothingness," he said. The room was silent still, until you laughed. His eyes looked up at yours in confusion. "Wouldn't they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again? An existentialist would never change the bulb. He would allow the darkness to exist," you questioned. - #1 #spencerreid #1 #mgg #1 emilyprentiss

I wasn't supposed to be in the story. Not the kind with monsters, gates, or government labs. "This little fairy freak," he said, gesturing toward me like I was something stuck to his shoe. "Always floating around in her weird outfits, acting all sweet and innocent-like she doesn't watch people making out from bathroom cracks like a total psycho." I froze. The air left my lungs. "Steve," Nancy whispered sharply beside him, "it was the girl's bathroom." But he wasn't listening. "She's always staring," he continued. "Like we're all in some sad little movie she made up in her head. Always acting like she's not dying for attention." I was just the girl with too-soft sweaters and panic attacks. The one who watched people fall in love from the sidelines. The one who crushed silently on Steve Harrington while he kissed other girls in haunted high school bathrooms. Then Will Byers went missing. And suddenly I was helping Nancy reload a shotgun. Hiding from the Demogorgon on rooftops. Whispering to Dustin like I was his big sister. Running. Fighting. Surviving. And somewhere in between the broken cameras, the Halloween parties, the Upside Down... Steve started looking at me like I was in the story too.
