Harlow is anxious. He's been anxious most of his life. Why, he's not too sure. It could be because his mom was the only one who truly knew how he felt, and now she's gone. Or that his sister has been off the grid for years and refuses to talk to him. Or that his dad named him heir to his ring of assassins.
In order to prove he his a worth heir, Harlow had to kill Jacob Marley. Highest of the upper class, CEO of his own company, and filthy rich; all things Harlow's father hates. But when he meets Jacob's daughter, Aurora, she ropes him into finding her father's killer, Harlow must do everything he can to stop her from figuring out the truth.
_-_-_-_
Aurora is angry. She has been for the past few months. And she can tell you why. Her father was assassinated, and the police aren't doing anything to help. Her mother has fallen into intense grief, leaving her all alone. On top of that, she inherited her father's multi-million dollar company that she in no way is ready to run.
When she meets Harlow Wolfson, she thinks that thing could be different. He might be what she needs to find her father's killer. And when she does...
They.
Will.
Pay.

Elizabeth Grey is eleven, diabetic, and invisible in her own home.
Her mother is cold, obsessed with wealth and status, and barely notices when Elizabeth skips meals or comes home pale and shaking. Her only comfort is a worn stuffed bird and the quiet corners she hides in at school-until even that safety starts to slip away.
When her mother announces she's marrying a powerful man named Ethan Kingston, Elizabeth is forced into a new home with four unfamiliar boys and a father who rules with silence.
She doesn't know what's worse: being alone... or being seen for the first time.
