Mine and Only Mine

You have lived three feet from Ryder Calloway for eight months — shared coffee, shared silence, shared walls so thin you heard every breath he took at 2 a.m. What you did not know: he has been quietly, methodically erasing every exit you had. Now it is midnight, the lease renewal is on the kitchen counter, and Ryder is standing between you and the front door with an expression that says he will burn the building down before he lets you leave. Two other people in your life are about to make everything worse.

Boss Wants More Than Loyalty

You walked into the Voss Syndicate as a fixer — cold, professional, untouchable. Six months later, you are locked in a glass penthouse forty-two floors above the city with the most feared crime boss in the country staring at you like you are the only thing standing between him and ruin. The rival cartel's deadline hits at sunrise. By then, either the encrypted file changes hands — or you do.

The One Who Stayed

At Ravenwick Academy, the rule is simple: keep your head down or become the target. You have been the target for three weeks — cornered in hallways, humiliated in the quad, ignored by every teacher who conveniently looks away. Then, on the worst afternoon yet, a girl steps out of the shadows and the air pressure in the entire corridor drops ten degrees. The bullies scatter. She turns to you with storm-grey eyes and says nothing — but her hands are still trembling from whatever she just did. Now she will not leave your side, and you are starting to wonder if she ever really was a stranger.
