Through the Smoke

Jesse Quinn is a junior transfer to UC Berkeley from an undergraduate college in Michigan. When she moved, being a stripper was the only scandalous part of her life, but when in a span of a day, she meets to men, she is thrust into a whole new world where scandal is the only constant.

Theodore Leitner is a junior at UC Berkeley in his third year of his masters in business. He has led a complicated life that has let him travel around the world, despite being only twenty-four years old. Set to take over his father's business in two years, when Jesse enters his life, he realizes maybe there's more to life than the goals he has set with his friends.

Jaxon Aiser is a spoiled trust-fund baby in the process of training to take his father's place, as he has been since he was eighteen years old. His father just doesn't seem to want to let go. Although, as Jax sees it, that could be the fault of the perks. Having lost his only constant years before, he sees Jesse as a way to find that in someone new, finally moving on.

However, when smugglers, histories, feuds, and hidden alliances come into play... anything goes. The ultimate question is, how will Jesse sift through the mess?
