In this story set in the streets of Chicago - everybody can lie.
Years after his sister's friend's death, the black cat killed by curiosity, Edward Winslow, receives a strange and silent call at night. In a tangle of more and more mysteries biting away at him, he dials back and expects silence then and after. Only to be very wrong. Now many questions are unanswered, and Edward is forced to learn about the Cameron's sudden disappearance.
Claiming to be the deceased Cameron Reynolds, Edward's inbox is flooded with shady messages. All of a sudden the arsonist criminal mysteriously comes crawling back to Ed for help.
In trying to cut through truth and reality amid a haze of letters sent to Cammie, ominous puzzles, and memory loss, Ed is shocked to discover some cases are better left buried. With a past almost blow-torched to the ground by Cameron herself, he reluctantly seeks for suspects while the knife is still put to his neck.
Meanwhile Edward's sophisticated boss and soon-to-be husband has some secrets of his own.

Getting arrested on a Friday night wasn't exactly Jasper Hayes's ideal weekend plan. But then again, neither was being marked for death by a literal mafia. When the Locke crime family comes for his found family, Jasper's world implodes. And all signs point to one man: Alexander Locke. A genius. A prince. And the psychotic bastard who once kidnapped him for fun and seemed to enjoy it way too much. Now Alexander is locked up in a maximum-security facility. Or so the world thinks. Jasper gets himself arrested, walks through those prison gates, and discovers the truth: Sterling isn't a cage. It's a throne room. And Alexander is the puppet master, wearing a smirk like a crown and holding secrets behind every glance. When chaos collides with control, the only thing more dangerous than the king is the man who refuses to bow.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

He doesn't take the threat all that seriously, until Jessie-his only protection-is accepted into a college hours away and will be leaving him.

Secrets that become Skylar's new mission to investigate every detail of. - [!!WARNINGS!! This book will deal with serious topics such as addiction and crime.
