ELUDE (STILL WATERS SERIES #1)

Twenty-five murders in just a span of two months.
an answer for a life, and a death for an answer.

Castell lived a life not heaven but hell when both of her Mother and sister abused her on a daily basis. They used her dreams against her and threatened her, locking her up in her room, and they didn't even acknowledge her as their own. With her dreams at risk, Castell endured it all in silence even when her sister had always framed her for doing unspeakable things. That she was capable of committing a sin. She endured and survived.

So when Devon was tasked to keep an eye for Castell, he was shocked that the family he resented, the deep rooted hatred he felt for has another one of their own, and she found out about his secrets.

Devon may be the Gentleman of Carswell University, but it's all just for a show. A mask to hide what's hidden underneath the surface. Devon had tried so hard creating this image that he had shown to everyone. Had fooled everyone. That this person isn't capable of dealing with illegal drugs and selling them until Castell found out about it accidentally.

As both of them got intertwined with each other's lives, strings tangled, both healing and broken, a life worthwhile had shattered when the corpse of the person they held dearest ended up in their doorstep.

Searching for answers and seeking for justice, Castell might have had looked deeper. For she had unraveled a secret that will help and doom both of their lives.

But how could it be when Devon winds up dead?
