“Read it. Then decide what the truth costs. I will abide by whatever you choose. I am the only Vane who ever kept a promise, and I intend to die with the record intact.” I opened Rosa Marchetti’s confession. Eight pages, handwritten in the crabbed clinical script of a woman who had documented lives for a living. I read the first page aloud in a whisper, then louder, because the waiter had tactfully turned up the jukebox, because some documents must be witnessed even by strangers. Rosa confessed to the drowning on Adrian’s instruction, by Silas’s hand, witnessed by Isabella, reported by no one. She confessed to the poisonings. Isabella, and my mother, who had not been a Hart student at all bu

Flowers are supposed to be light. They are supposed to be beautiful, aromatic, and bright. I am holding lilies and lavender, flowers so large they trump my body and cascade down onto the floor, and I am standing there with my father thinking not on the man at the end of the aisle waiting for me- but how heavy these flowers are in my arms. These flowers remind me of the shackles that have been placed on me by two families I never considered my own. I was a lone person, fighting in my own ocean to stay afloat, and these people, they were all just characters in a play I never wished to be cast in. They were just two families begging to put an end to a violent feud that I was never even part of.

Rose's eyes widened, perspiration filled her face at the thought of dying. Russo clicks off the safety of the gun and then………….. Click!

Mystery two, we find here Hartland murdered in his house with his house ransacked. Mystery three- how does the Boar fit in all this nonsense? Four, why on earth is Neville Guise is visiting this part of the world? Then what is happening in the Black Gorse Moor and what is with that network of tunnels?” “You left out one more,” Nathan remarked,” Who hired the private eye in the first place, Vermont?”

He kissed me back, hard and consuming, as if he could devour the pain right out of me. For a heartbeat, I let myself vanish in that kiss—pretend I was someone else, somewhere else, untouched by betrayal. The next thing I knew, the world blurred—his arm around me, the press of a door closing, sheets tangled beneath my trembling hands. Morning hit like a cruel joke. I woke tangled in unfamiliar sheets, my head pounding, my lips swollen. The stranger from the bar lay beside me, half-covered, the shadows of his muscles stark against the pale dawn light. Even asleep, he radiated danger, power… something I couldn’t name.

It landed with a thud that sounded like a gavel. “Open it,” the commissioner commanded. Clinton flipped the folder open. Inside were crime scene photos of a body- a man he didn’t recognize- found in an alleyway. Beside the photos were forensic reports, a shell casing from Clinton’s service weapon and a witness statement placing him at the scene. “Homicide, Alfred,” the commissioner said flatly. “A civilian was found executed last night. The ballistics match your sidearm. You aren’t just losing your job, you’re losing your life.”

ARIA Lozark stands before me, casting his shadow upon my presence. An eerie feeling blooms in the air, slowly crawling over my skin. His face strikes horror in the crowd. The expression he is holding resembles the devil who manages hell. Luckily, I am a hunter, and I'm not scared. “Alpha.” Sheena steps forward. “Hailey is our prime suspect for the three murders. We suspect she might have some kind of links with the hunters.” He looks into my eyes, twitching his brows.

I heard rustling in the bushes just a few feet from where I sat, my stomach turned as I thought of all the creatures that could possibly be lying in wait for me. I stood slowly bracing myself to start running again when I suddenly felt something whistle past me leaving and excruciating pain in my left shoulder, it was an arrow. Was Draven really trying to kill me? I let out a Yelp as the pain struck me, causing me to fall backwards onto the ground and hitting my head on the cluster of rocks next to the large tree I had rested on. A dark figure appeared from the darkness of the bushes, his f

The perp walk. Claire Hoss. One of New York's most powerful women. Being arrested on live television. My phone started ringing. News outlets. Friends. Colleagues. I ignored them all. On screen, the news anchor spoke urgently: "Claire Hoss, CEO of Hoss Industries and fashion icon, has been arrested in connection with the car bombing at 740 Park Avenue earlier this week. Authorities say evidence links her to the attempted murder of Vanessa Latham..." I turned off the TV.
