[18+ You've been warned.] "So that's it? You're just going to walk away from this? From us?" His laugh is bitter, a far cry from the usual genuine sound I've grown used to. I take a step back, not liking how close he's gotten, and run a hand through my already messy hair. "What did you expect? That we could somehow make this work?" I desperately wanted that to be true, but everything was so damn confusing right now. I didn't know what the right thing was. What would my parents have done in this situation? "Whatever this is?" Mason steps forward, forcing me to take another step back until I hit the wall. He's too close-way too close. He leans in, his minty breath mixed with cologne brushing against my face. "This-whatever's between us-is just as real as everything else, whether you want to believe it or not." ___________________ Eighteen-year-old River Banks has survived the streets of Chicago by learning one hard truth: the only person she can count on is herself. Living in a run-down apartment with her shady uncle, River notices something is wrong when he starts disappearing for days after a night of fear. She suspects he's involved with dangerous people. Enter Mason O'Neal, a ruthless 20-year-old who inherited a black-market weapons empire from his father. No one dares cross him-except Jonathan Banks, River's uncle, who steals something that could destroy Mason's operation. Mason is ready to take Jonathan out, but when River gets caught in the middle, his plans take a turn. As danger closes in, an unexpected connection sparks between Mason and River-one that may change both their fates.

****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.
