Je pourrais croire que l'on m'a tout volé. Qu'il n'y a plus rien à perdre. Ce serait une erreur. Ma meilleure amie a été enlevée. Je me retrouve captive à mon tour. Ce que je prenais pour un trafic de drogue à grande échelle dirigé par l'homme qui a tué mon père s'avère dix fois plus atroce. Je suis prise au piège. Ma meilleure amie est peut-être morte. Et Mark n'a pas la moindre idée de l'endroit o me trouver. Mes ravisseurs...

I did it. I admit it. I fell in love with Silas. My bodyguard. My protector. My new informant. We're playing a cat-and-mouse game. I'm not sure whether I'm the cat or the mouse, but I can definitely tell I'm in a trap. A trap with no way out. I'm not who everyone thought I was. The truth is out there, finally turning the lie about me inside out. I am the shameless little lie. It's finally been revealed, and now even more people want to kill me. As...

This isn't how my life is supposed to end. Then again, a case of mistaken identity got me here. No one is ever who we think they are. Especially my kidnapper, a man whose entire life is designed to deceive. Powerful people want my rescuer to die. I'm just a lure. A pawn. An object. But objects hold meaning. Emotions attach themselves without logic. Like love. I now know that Duff will do everything to protect me. If he gets here in time. And...

When you're born without a trace, no one knows you're a weapon. I lie for her. I hunt for her. I kill for her. And above all, I betray my mission for her. She doesn't know why. She doesn't care why. I do. Treason comes in many forms. Love is one of them. Our training taught me to be a sociopath. A machine. A pawn. Nothing more than a tool for a larger goal, without attachments or feelings. Our teachers forgot one important detail: Pawns...

I didn't do it. I never betrayed my friend. Last year, I was kidnapped along with presidential candidate's daughter Lindsay Bosworth, forced to help her assailants, my mother implicated in one of the biggest political scandals in American history. I've been cleared of any wrongdoing, but that doesn't matter. Once you're tried by the media, you're guilty as sin. The truth doesn't get the public's attention. But shame? Shame sells. And everyone...

It all started with the bereavement flowers with my name on them. Not the best way to wake up, right? I work in a flower shop. I know a funeral arrangement when I see one. I know a killer when I see one, too. And one is standing in my hospital room right now, straight behind the man who saved my life. I can't tell anyone the truth, because that's the fastest way to really die. So I do the next best thing. I "lose" my memory. I fake my amnesia. Pretending...

Four years ago, presidential candidate's daughter Lindsay thought Drew betrayed her, but now he's back to prove himself. Will she let him? The last person Lindsay Bosworth expected to be her head of security as she left the meditation center/mental institution she'd called home for the last four years after a violent attack was Drew Foster, her ex-fiancee. The guy who did nothing while three of his friends violated her on streaming video. Not...

Le père de Chase Halloway est à la tête d'Atlas, un cartel de drogue dirigé par un gang de motards qui terrorise la majeure partie de notre petite ville déserte. Mon beau-père se trouve être un trafiquant de drogue qui lui fait concurrence, et je suis pratiquement certaine qu'il a tué ma mère il y a deux ans. Je ne suis pas censée tomber amoureuse de Chase, il n'est d'ailleurs même pas censé savoir que j'existe. Mais lorsqu'il...
