Fresh off the small town of Quinn, Ontario, Piper moved into Toronto after landing a 3-month internship at one of Toronto's most prestigious media and publications companies, The Messenger. Her dreams of becoming a big-time investigative journalist were halted after being stuck with a supervisor who undermines her skills and leaves her doing menial work. In addition, the only apartment that she could find near the company is next to an eccentric, cynical neighbor Gael in a sketchy neighborhood Downtown.
One night after work, Piper caught Gael washing his blood-covered body in the backyard garden of their apartment building, with a bloody knife lying nearby. The following day, news about a killer on the loose became the center of attention in Toronto. Her race against time and pressure from work forced her to launch a plan to personally investigate Gael as a potential suspect, and prove to The Messenger that she has what it takes to join their crew as an investigative journalist. Unfortunately for her, knowing more about Gael means infiltrating his world, getting closer to him, and possibly using whatever charm she has to seduce Gael. Meanwhile, a familiar face re-joins the company as a returning Section Editor...

Dangerously Marry
For 3 years, they worked side by side, never realizing they were partners in more ways than one. As elite spies for the same agency, they always operated behind masks, their identities hidden even from each other. But one fateful night, the truth came to light and instead of tearing them apart, it only made them stronger. While adjusting to their new reality as both spouses and field partners, Avery remains fixated on a personal mission: finding her younger sister, Ava, who vanished without a trace three years ago. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that her sister's disappearance is a no ordinary case. The trail leads her into the shadows of the criminal world, where a ruthless organization surface-one that deals in deception, assassinations, and erasing people from existence. As she follows the leads, she uncovers chilling connections: names that shouldn't exist and a shocking revelation her sister may not have been taken; she may have chosen to disappear. With powerful and dangerous enemies watching her every move, she and her husband must be cautious of a dangerous game of cat and mouse. The closer she gets to the answer, the clearer it becomes finding her sister might not be the hardest part. Facing the truth of what she has become might be. *Because in a world built on deception, the person you love the most might just be the one you fear..*![Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/266180136-256-k887286.jpg)
Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.
