There's been a murder. The mysterious man beside her might know why. Falling for him was never part of the investigation. ----------- Princess Lumina was supposed to survive the Golden Ball with her dignity intact. Instead, a nobleman ends up dead with a cake knife in his chest. Now Lumi is stuck investigating a murder her mother desperately wants forgotten, alongside an eccentric inspector, a rebel knight with a talent for treason, and a peacock who contributes absolutely nothing. The deeper Lumi digs, the worse it gets. Blackmail. Secret deals. A rebellion that may not be what Solaris claims it is. And enough royal corruption to make murder at a ball seem almost tasteful. And at the center of it all is Blackthorn, the rebel knight everyone insists she should fear. The trouble is, he may be the only person in Solaris who has never lied to her. Finding Lord Alaric's killer was supposed to be the difficult part. Instead, Lumi finds herself uncovering everything her family buried to keep the kingdom beautiful. Which would be easier to ignore if she weren't expected to inherit it.

Maya Lin survives St. Jude's on bursary checks, cheap filter coffee, and a three-year mutual hatred of Julian Vance-the legacy golden boy tied with her for the school's only full-ride university endowment. But when the administrative archive is broken into forty-eight hours before the final trustee vote, Maya's battered Parker pen and Julian's discarded notes are found wedged in the lock. Facing immediate expulsion and police inquiries, the pair realize their public feud was the perfect cover for a calculated setup-and breaking into a damp changing-room locker past curfew is their only shot at finding who played them.

Buong buhay niya, natuto siyang manahimik, magpaubaya, at sumabay sa agos. Mahaba ang panahon ngunit hindi siya naglakas ng loob na sayangin ito. Kasabay ng pagtakbo ng oras, natuto siyang gumawa ng oportunidad para sa sarili, hindi para mas makilala. Gumawa siya ng mga bagay na nakakapagbigay ng salita na hindi niya maipinta-pinta. Sa mundong walang kasiguraduhan, tanging ang oras lamang ang makakapagbigay ng tamang kasagutan. ********** I lied. No. I am lying. Aren't I? I enjoy feeding ignorance to illusions. Or do you?

When homebody Maggie West wakes up beside the man she spent one perfectly reckless night with, at most, she expects regret (and maybe a hangover). Not for him to be dead or for the police to think she killed him. Now Maggie's mugshot is making the rounds online, her neighbors think she's a secret femme fatale, and the annoyingly attractive detective assigned to her case isn't buying her innocence. Desperate to clear her name, Maggie teams up with said detective, Jace Rowe to find the real killer. But between nosy neighbors, awkward cover-ups, and a high-tech scheme involving enough ones and zeroes to make her head spin, the deeper they dig, the less Maggie knows who she can trust. Murder was never on her Netflix-and-chill list. But if someone wants her to take the fall, they're going to have to catch her first. Because Maggie West may be a homebody. But she's nobody's fall girl. For fans of FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT and DIAL A FOR AUNTIES. Rated Mature for adult themes and language.
