Avery has lived her entire life without knowing who she truly is. But when Mica discovers an ancient book, it sparks a journey none of them could have ever anticipated. Avery, her childhood friends Mica, Lily, and Rohan, find themselves facing the unknown. Lily is eager for adventure, Rohan is protective, and Mica's curiosity pulls them forward. Avery, unsure but guided by an inexplicable force, agrees to follow their path.
As they venture deeper into a mysterious forest, the air thick with ancient magic, Avery leads them without knowing how she knows the way. The forest is dark, dangerous, and alive with whispers of forgotten stories. After what feels like an eternity, they finally reach the Memory Market, a place where memories are traded, and the past is bought and sold. But Avery's quest for answers is only just beginning.
In a world where memories are the most precious currency, one truth echoes in the air: Memories are traded-until and unless you can pay the price.
What will Avery be willing to give up for the truth? What's the price of her forgotten past? And who is watching from the shadows?
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
