Hawthorne High made up its mind about Saylor Moon a year ago. Dima Averin is the boy it brags about. One project sheet later, they are stuck with each other and with a local legend nobody finished burying. They treat it like senior-year gold: real digging, a real scare, a gym holding its breath. The story comes at them like it has been waiting for company. It is not over. It wants the hands that opened it.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*
