Dear Reader,
I feel the need to warn you. Reading this story may cause an increase of risk-taking, the corrupting of impressionable minds, a loss of control of bodily functions, and frequent bursts of sudden screaming.
Those of us portrayed in this book make our living doing these things. We are professionals. I, and the author, do not take responsibility for any injuries received if the reader chooses to attempt some of the actions portrayed in this book such as, but not limited to: high speed chases, using a gun, pickpocketing, hacking government databases, impersonating a diplomat's child, and hotwiring expensive cars.
I made some bad choices but the CIA is willing to make it all go away. Of course, they want me to go on a mission for them in return. I may be getting a second chance but I have a feeling it may be my last.
Yours Truly,
Riley Chance

The Game Changer (Blake) 3 ✔️
Book #3 in The Fire series BLAKE RIVERA "You're the leader of a gang." Aiden yells. I look up at him. "You don't think I know that?" I yell back. "I am doing everything I can to protect my people!" "Your people are being murdered. You're in a war you don't even know is happening." "I know what's going on out there. I know what's happening." "Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" I slam my hands on the desk and stand up. "I am doing everything I can!" I yell anger laced in my voice as it flowed through my veins. Suddenly the lights went out; a flashing red light comes on as alarms sound. "You need to do more." Aiden says. "Otherwise this. It's never going to stop." "They're attacking." I realize. "They're always attacking. And they're not going to stop until we're dead." "Or surrender." I mumble and Aidens head snaps up to look at me. "You won't. You can't." "No, what I can't do is kill Felix." "The man you loved isn't there anymore. Can't you see that? He's gone. A monster wears his skin. What's it going to take before you realize that?" I shake my head. "Evacuate. Make sure everyone gets out of here. No one dies today." "Well, someone should. And we both know who it needs to be." Aiden says before he leaves the room. I know Aiden is right, but I can't kill Felix, even if he keeps trying to kill me. I shake my head and sit back down. Just because everyone else was leaving didn't mean I had to also. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. I sigh. I've tried to already, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Maybe I should tell him Nadia is his daughter. The door to my planning room is thrown open but I stay seated. I look up as men flood into the room, soon followed by Felix. His emotionless eyes find mine and he cocks his gun. "You should have run with the others."Complete

I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance. The mission? Still on. But if I'm not careful, I might survive the job and still lose what's left of me. And let's be honest-I worked way too hard to become this unkillable. ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ ~Thank you so much for even taking a glance at this book.

The Job
"I need your help Emma," I say softly "Why should I help you James," she spat," you left me dilshit! Go ask someone else." She stuck her nose up in the air like a kid, making a small chuckle rise from my throat. I get up and tap the butt of my gun on her shoulder. She flinches a bit, struggling against the ropes binding her. "I'm in a bit of a pickle Em," I say slowly walking around to meet her face," you know you're the only one that can help me." Her hazel eyes shone with anger and pain. The pain I caused. I left her for a reason, now I'm dragging her back into my life. But I don't have a choice. This is an unconventional spy "novel". • Some language. • Some adult themes but not much. (Keep in mind, its a 17yr wiring this.)Complete
