Growing up in a broken town doesn’t make you a good man. In fact, the North Shore of the Falls has made me merciless.
I survive because I’m a good soldier for the North Shore Crew. I’m cool-headed, I never lose sight of my goals, and my only obsession is to wrench our town from the clutches of our sworn enemies, the Kings.
Alexandra Delacroix is just a job. Plain and simple. She lives in our neighboring town, in the millionaires’ heaven they call Stoneview.
The plan is charm her, uncover incriminating information about her senator father, and tip the balance of power in our favor.
But unlike the other rich girls from Stoneview I use as toys, Alexandra is kind, selfless… sweet. Sickeningly so. A bright pink cupcake with glitter and sprinkles on the icing. That kind of sweet.
We have nothing in common. Nothing but the secrets we keep.
And before I know it, my priorities change.
Before I know it… Alexandra Delacroix is my new obsession.
This book is a standalone, the second in a series of four interconnected standalones. It contains scenes that some readers may find triggering. Please check CW in the book.
