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...

She has no idea what she's doing. Loose cannons never hit their targets. And they take out plenty of collateral damage. Four years ago Lindsay experienced the unspeakable right before me, and I couldn't stop them. But that's all changed now. When her father, Senator Bosworth, contacted me to ask - demand - that I protect her, it was a second chance. A shot at redemption. An opportunity to right an unspeakable wrong. Controlling Lindsay as she...

"The future isn’t real. The past isn’t real, either. Only the present is, solid and full, flying at our faces, our bodies, our hearts and souls at breakneck speed as we work to take it all in. As we work to protect others. And, finally - ourselves. We’ve started to break the bonds of Stateless, a system as rotten as the one it seeks to destroy. But systems are organisms with one brutal goal: to survive, whatever it takes. Kina has to do...

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...

Everything I know about my life is a lie. The more I dig into my father's death the more I find myself in peril. Mark turns out to be a liar, someone I thought I could trust. He's not what he seems, and worst of all, a part of me can't let go. My boss might be an international drug lord disguised as a dean at one of the top five universities in the country. Like anyone's going to believe me if I try to out him? But I can't help myself. I should...

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...

On a dark, rainy night I drove my overstuffed junker car back to a town I never expected to see again. And when I needed a rescue by the side of the road, a six-foot tall piece of hot, unfinished business named Mark was what the universe sent me. Three years earlier I'd fled town (and Mark) to follow my wrongly-convicted father to his federal prison, working crappy jobs to stay afloat and visit him every second I could. But now Dad's dead and I'm...

Help. I'm alone, tied up, bleeding and terrified. I'm a prisoner at the Atlas motorcycle club compound. Someone kidnapped me, and it looks like it's Chase. No one knows I'm here. Then again, I'm no one, right? No mother, no stepfather, and my sister may have been kidnapped, too. They can make me disappear. Or worse. It turns out there are worse things than disappearing. I thought Chase was my only hope. Now he turns out to be my worst nightmare. Something...

Chase Halloway's father is the president of Atlas, the drug dealing motorcycle gang that terrorizes most of our desert town. My stepfather turns out to be a rival drug dealer, and I'm pretty sure he killed my mom two years ago. I'm not supposed to fall in love with Chase. He's not supposed to know I even exist. But when he finds me, he can't let go. And when I find myself in his arms? I hold tight. I have to. Because if I don't, I might just...
