There's a town where no one dies.
For as long as Gen could remember Haslemere had been the same. Growing up in a sleepy New England town frozen in time, Gen dreamed stories of lives she'd lived long ago, and the boy who she loved every time. But now there are fires being set in the woods behind her house and the prickly new boy in town is a cousin of the Hadlocks, the reclusive family that lives on the hill. And when citizens start falling asleep and not waking up, she's forced to realize that not only are all the stories she was told as a child true, they're happening again.

Now, she's transferred to a new school - hoping for a fresh start - but is quickly targeted by Amber, a manipulative, obsessive, and deeply unstable girl who becomes obsessed with Rose's new friend (and crush), Liam.

Rose hits rock bottom - depressed, isolated, and nearly giving up. But with help from her friend Mia, she begins plotting her revenge. In secret, Rose starts manipulating Amber back, pretending to be her friend, acting like her obedient servant, and gaining her trust. Meanwhile, she and Mia gather evidence of Amber's crimes - including confessions, threats, and violent behavior. Amber becomes more possessive and controlling, thinking Rose is hers.

He remembers. His gaze lingers, just like it used to. I hate that I still feel something. I shouldn't. Hunter only wants answers, to use me for what I know about Declan.

Me and the Devil
When River was fourteen, his parents were found murdered in their home. He never explained what happened that night. He never defended himself. He never spoke at all.

Until then, he is released into the custody of his godfather Adam, a high-profile lawyer who has believed in River's innocence from the beginning. Amber is not so sure. To her mother, who is River's godmother, he is a danger that should never have been allowed back into their lives. To her father, River is a broken boy failed by the system. To Amber... he is the ghost of her childhood. The friend she once loved. And the stranger she no longer understands. River returns colder, unreadable, and beautiful in a way that makes Amber's heart ache with something she wished she had outgrown. But behind his quiet stare lies something darker - a truth he has kept locked inside since the night everything changed. Everyone wants to know what happened. Everyone wants answers. But only River knows the truth. And the closer Amber gets to him, the more she wonders if some secrets are better left buried.
Under Your Watch: Bulletproof Lies (On-Going)
He was born into the shadows. She was raised to uncover them. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and silence is survival, their paths were never meant to cross. He was the quiet, cold son of a mafia family-someone who'd learned early that emotions were weaknesses best buried. She, on the other hand, was everything he wasn't: bright, kind, and fearless, a girl who smiled through the cruelty of others, even when her name was whispered with envy and hate. Her classmates despised her brilliance, mocked her joy, and tore her down in ways that left invisible scars. But while she stood alone against it all, she never knew someone had been watching-someone who made sure every hand raised against her never went unpunished. He protected her from the shadows, fought for her without ever being seen, and somewhere between the silence and violence, something inside him began to change. But time has a way of turning light into distance. Years later, he's the ruthless successor to his family's empire. She's a secret agent, trained to bring down that very same empire. Neither recognizes the other-until a mission gone wrong exposes her, and he takes her captive. Now, behind locked doors and under his watch, lies and truth blur like gunfire in the night. Between the crosshairs of duty and desire, they'll discover that the most dangerous kind of love... is the one you're forbidden to have.
