    Two spies, best friends for years, face a mission that might ruin everything. Paris doesn't mess around. She's badass, smart, quick, and always cuts to the chase. She knows what she wants and gets it. No one really gets her though... except for her best friend, Grey, whom she met in her first year with the organization. Grey is intelligent, fast, creative, and can spot the smallest details. His exceptional hacking skills make him one of the top spies in the organization, right next to Paris. He tries to be pretty open about everything with Paris-except for one thing: his familiarity with her before they officially met. One day, they're assigned a mission together. It's not unusual for them to share a mission, but this one is different. They have to pose as a couple. For at least six months. It's a dangerous mission requiring them to work together harder than ever before. It could have been easier if they weren't attractive and possibly each other's types. But it's not a big deal. They can act. The question is: for how long? Going to a party as a couple is one thing; going on double dates, to the beach, and moving from one place to another is another thing. Acting becomes far more challenging. Boundaries might not be the hardest part of this mission. Getting tangled up in it might be their biggest mistake or greatest accomplishment yet. It all depends since they're just a couple of spies. This is romance but it's more of a mystery/thriller romance with some definite action.

    Hawkins is hot, crowded, and crawling with secrets-and Tiffany Annie Hargrove knows better than anyone that nothing good ever stays buried in a small town. With blonde curls, hazel eyes, and a reputation that precedes her, Tiffany is smart, sharp-tongued, and untouchable. Billy Hargrove's little sister. Max Mayfield's stepsister. A heart-throb who trusts no one and keeps her walls higher than Starcourt Mall. Especially not Steve Harrington. Steve is everything she can't stand-too cocky, too nice, too involved in everyone's business. And when her brother makes it painfully clear that Harrington is off-limits, hating him becomes easy. Natural, even. But enemies have a funny way of turning into allies when monsters crawl out of the shadows. As Hawkins spirals into chaos-Russian secrets, possessed minds, and the Starcourt Mall hiding something far more dangerous than a food court-Tiffany finds herself tangled in late-night shifts, near-death moments, and a growing pull toward the boy she swore she'd never fall for. With best friends Savannah Perkins and Robin Buckley by her side, a reckless one-night distraction with Jayden Buckley, and danger closing in from every direction, Tiffany must decide what scares her more: the monsters in Hawkins... or letting Steve Harrington see her heart. Because in Hawkins, love is risky. And survival is never guaranteed.

But when a cruel rumor spreads, her carefully controlled world starts to crumble. And as jealousy, gossip, and confrontation threaten everything she's known for, Claire must decide who she really is - and who she's willing to let in.

    They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.
