Two boys. One summer. And a secret that ends in blood.

When Morgan Jones is abandoned by her powerful mother in a sleepy beach town for the summer, she expects loneliness. What she doesn't expect is Jake - the quiet, steady bookstore boy who makes her feel safe for the first time in her life.

Or Cam - reckless, dangerous, impossible to ignore. The boy everyone warns her about... and the one she can't stay away from.

What Morgan doesn't know is that Jake and Cam are already bound by something darker than rivalry. A secret that will turn love into betrayal, and desire into something deadly.

By the end of the summer, one boy will be in handcuffs. One will be bleeding. And Morgan will have to live with the truth of which one she chose - and how much it cost.

The Price We Pay #3 in Merciless Series by moonchildnessa

There are ways of dying that do not end with a funeral. Types of deaths you can't see, feel or smell. Because death, just like love, has a mind of its own and some things can't be prevented. What started as an innocent high school quest in search of truth and revenge quickly turned into something entirely else. Something that Aspen Cornwell never anticipated. Something that shatters her entire reality, leaving her without an idea what to do next. She has lost almost everything that mattered to her so losing herself doesn't really make that much of a difference to her. When Collin Adamms returns back with a new dose of truth about what really happened to Courtney Chapel, alongside with his new-found memory that he lost due to his temporary retrograde amnesia, he finds Aspen in a state he would have never imagined. She seems like an entirely different person and reminds him so much of himself. They are both stuck in a vicious cycle of lies, schemes and addictions and Collin's determined to finally make things right. He tries desperately to save Aspen from her own self-destruction because the price they all have been paying seems like too much and he's not willing to pay anymore. Definitely not for something someone else should be paying for. But saving someone else while also trying to save yourself from demons constantly shadowing your every move might be more difficult than he thought. And maybe they aren't done paying for all the lies just yet.
