But the night will end in blood. And Harper will find out the attack was meant for her... Excerpt: The room was dead silent. No one moved. I stood and walked over to the coffee table where an array of snacks was laid out. I grabbed a grape and popped it into my mouth. As I chewed, no one dared even breathe. I hoped they couldn't see how badly my hands were shaking. "You guys are all so anxious for me to trust you," I said, meeting each person's eyes as I looked around the room. I certainly had their undivided attention. "But how can I do that when you obviously don't trust me?" "You haven't earned that trust," the elderly woman said. "You haven't either," I said. Someone behind me sucked in a quick breath. "Ever since I got to this town, you've all been lying to me. Why should I obey your orders and follow your rules when you refuse to tell me why you really want me to stay safe? You act like you care about me as a person, but all you really care about is yourself." "Wait a second," Mrs. Ashworth said, standing again. "You're completely out of line here. I won't allow you-" "I know who I am," I said, cutting her off. "I know I'm the Prima. I've known for a while now." I looked over at Mayor Chen. "And don't worry. It wasn't Lark or any of the other girls on the squad who told me." "Jackson," someone whispered. "Traitor." The room broke out in murmurs. "It wasn't Jackson either," I said. "Then who?" Sheriff Hollingsworth asked. "Morgyn Baker." "Impossible," the elderly woman hissed. "Before she died," I said. "She told me about how the Order's been using Shadowford as a way to look for me. You find girls with magical abilities who are in the system because their mothers are dead or they're too much to handle. Then, you bring them here, drug them, and test them to see if they are your beloved, long-lost Prima." The room erupted in protests and questions. "I thought you had this under control," one woman in a pink dress said to Mrs. Ashworth. "We should have told her right from the start." "What are we going to do now?" "This girl is out of control." My ears couldn't latch on to every outburst, but one in comment particular caught my attention. "She's just like her mother."

One Week of Summer

TRAGEDY. With no mother she can remember, a father lost years ago, and a beloved grandmother gone too, Maggie Mooreland knows the meaning of the word like no other. VICTIM. By age fourteen, she was labeled as such by her peers. And she couldn't fight it. Or even deny it. By seventeen, she might as well have had it tattooed on her forehead. HOPE. Even now that she is eighteen, and officially an adult, it's still a foreign concept. An ideal never to be realized. Something for others to have and for Maggie to envy. Until she meets him. Theodore Kimball (Teekay) Marcus. He's wild and spontaneous and gorgeous and the heir to a real estate fortune. He knows what he wants and he takes it. And remarkably, incredibly - he sees Maggie as more than just the sum of her past. But it's not going to be easy. SECRETS. Teekay has them. Maggie knows it. And they're like an unhealed wound, waiting to be bumped in just the wrong way so they can bleed all over again. He's hiding something that can hurt her. He's hiding something that's already hurting himself. And Maggie is terrified that this is the beginning of the end. ONE WEEK. A lot can happen in seven days. But will it be long enough to heal their hearts and their minds? Or will it tear them both apart?

Garret

My life is nothing but rules. Rules for how I act. How I dress. Who I date. Who my friends are. I hate the rules and yet I keep following them. Until I met Jade. Being with her is forbidden. She’s not one of us. She’s not allowed in my world. But I don’t care. She’s different and I like her and I want her. And the fact that she wants nothing to do with me makes me want her even more. But my father won’t allow it. Neither will the people around me. Being with Jade means making deals, blackmail, bribes–whatever it takes to keep my relationship with her a secret. Jade has no idea what my life is like. She doesn’t know the rules. She doesn’t know about my family and what they’re involved in. And although I can’t tell her all my secrets, there’s one rule she must know: Never ask questions. It’s a rule that I live by. Because in my world, knowing the answers can get you killed.

Need Us (Make or Break #4)

They made us. They broke us. Now they'll save us. Need Us is the final book in the Make or Break series. Featuring POVs from Royal, Channing and Rachel. **Author's note: This book starts with a bang and not everyone is happy. I know this might throw some readers off but bare with me. People grow and they change. It wouldn't be a good book if they are all happy living in La La land. In saying that, this book has a very happy ending. I promise. I love these characters and they deserve nothing less.
