Thana is an 20 year old Journalist, trying to make a name for herself. So when she stumbles onto the scene of a man about to get executed in a desolate run-down park, she can't believe her luck. This is exactly the kind of story she needs to kick start her career. That is, until her clumsy ass gets caught and the leader, she presumes, tells her to shoot the man or she gets shot. So what does any capable human being do in a situation like this? She fucking shoots.

Sullivan is the head of the Italian mafia. Not by blood, and not by choice. He was adopted at the age of three, and raised by Perio and Abelia. It turns out his adoptive daddy was the mob boss - the "Godfather". And so, obviously, when Perio died - he was placed in charge. Him and his men take a suspected rat out into a desolate park, to torture him and find out whether he really is a rat - and if so, who he's working for. Unfortunately, in the middle of threatening the blubbering man; he hears a twig snap. There, on the far side of the park, is the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, and probably most stupid. She tries to make a run for it, but his men are faster and catch her, bringing her to him. Just to scare her a little bit, he gives one of his guns to her and tells her to shoot the man or she gets shot. What he didn't bargain for, was for her to actually shoot the man in the fucking head! At most, he wanted her to injure the man, thinking she's probably going to shoot him in the leg or the arm - something minor. That was not the case. The little curious dark haired devil goes and kills the man with a headshot. Great, now he'll never find out who the man was working for, and she's just become his responsibility. Just. Fucking. Peachy.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
