Mystery
17-year-old Harper Evans feels as if she's finally found her place in Sierria- After moving countless times in the last few years, her father has promised for them to settle down, once and for all, no exceptions. But just when she thinks she can relax, everything starts to go wrong. Especially wrong with Alain Winters, a boy she unexpectedly meets on the first day of her senior year. There are three things you should know about Alain Winters: One, he's very beautiful, two he's very smart, and three, he's very annoying. These three traits become a nightmarish combination as his friendliness towards Harper treads on every nerve ending she has. And things get even worse as she becomes more and more indebted to him, from incidents ranging from over-the-top acts of kindness to a truly heroic rescue. Then, a horrific tragedy occurs, shattering Harper's world. She tentatively accepts Alain's offer of staying at his parent's vacant apartment to recover, not knowing what else to do. The pending criminal investigation of the incident turns up with nothing except a higher body count, and Harper begins to realize that Alain is hiding something. When the truth is revealed, she doesn't know what to think. When they are soon dragged into the world of criminal organizations, assassins, and a murderous plot to overthrow the government, Harper and Alain must trust each other to survive. But how can they trust each other if neither are who they claimed to be, and if the people from their pasts haunt their every step?

Eleanor, 19, is living on borrowed time. She's continuing her studies not out of passion, but more out of survival instinct. Not because she dreams of a brilliant career, but because the idea of failing-and having to go back home-makes her sick. Home is a house full of heavy silences, unspoken blame, and above all, a mother consumed by addiction. Their relationship is an emotional minefield. Though physically distant, Eleanor is never truly free. And every call, every message from her mother threatens to pull her back into the chaos she's desperate to escape. At college, she tries to hang on. Her only support is Wallace, her best friend since middle school. Always there. Tall, protective, destined for a pro career in basketball. Wallace is steady, radiant-the complete opposite of the world Eleanor comes from. He helps her stay afloat. Keeps her from drowning. Until one day, a figure appears in a campus hallway-and everything shifts. Danny Shepard. The name alone freezes her in place. It takes Eleanor a moment to recognize him: the scrawny, furious boy she knew at sixteen has become a man. Calmer. Darker. More... unreadable. After assaulting his sports coach, Danny was sentenced to juvenile detention and vanished for four years. On his return, he was denied entry into the third year of med school. He enrolled elsewhere, at the bottom rung of the university ladder. Where Eleanor studies. And he doesn't recognize her. She, on the other hand, never forgot. The bond they shared-fragile and secret, woven during adolescence through stolen glances and charged silences-left a mark. But Danny seems to have erased her. Why? Has he truly forgotten? Or has he buried that part of his life? Eleanor senses that behind the cold mask, there's a war raging. Repressed memories. A guilt that never properly healed.
