"Keep your emotions hidden. It's the only way to stay one step ahead."
Seventeen year old Keira Thompson, a descendant of a family rooted in detective work, was raised to follow those rules without exception. At the prestigious Ravenwood Academy, she keeps her guard up, her circle small, and her past buried where no one can reach it. Her job is her top priority.
Jesse Houston is everything she isn't. He's loud, flirty, and never hides what's on his mind. He doesn't care about rules. All he knows is that he's falling for the girl who guards her world like it might shatter.
Letting someone in was never part of the plan.
But sometimes the person you least expect is the one who sees you most clearly.

Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done.

She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Complete
