Lost Heart √ by Crystal7016

One year later Skylar Anderson, enrolled in Philadelphia College of Arts, has nothing more to worry about other than dozing off between classes. And her might-just-be crumbling relationship with her boyfriend--Caden Miller. Long-distance relationship wasn't what Skylar had been looking forward to. Not when her boyfriend was once again finding it a little too hard to not go back to his old ways. Old, secretive ways with the mysterious New York gangs. It's like they all say: once a gang leader, always a gang leader. Or a liar. Both of them works. New secrets once more brewing to the surface, with a past that was better left buried. Not to forget, the police department was also searching for Blake Matthews--who, unfortunately (or not) had escaped prison bars. There was so much Skylar thought she knew, but she didn't. So much that's been left in the dark. And secrets always have a way of coming out. After all, what's a life without some lies? Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2022

Or was it his brother, jealous of the success he could never find himself? Hell, maybe it's that strange new guy that's only a quarter-step from being a bum. If Evie thought today was a hot mess, she's in for ride of her life. Evie Harper Mysteries: Book 1
