Duality

I used to think the worst part of life was just keeping my head down, but apparently, nothing invites trouble quite like hiding from it. My name is Maeve, and I had a routine—survive the city, stay out of trouble, and pretend I could ignore the ghosts of my past. Easy enough, right? Wrong. Enter Lucian Shaw, all intensity and secrets, dragging me into a family war darker than any crime novel I've ever read. Lucian is the last person I want to be around and the only person who knows how deep this rabbit hole goes—and apparently, he's my ticket to staying alive. Now, it's either team up with the most infuriatingly reckless rogue in town or wait for his father to wipe me off the map. So here I am, trying to keep us one step ahead while dodging bullets, cryptic threats, and dangerous, infuriating men. But the real question? How do I protect myself from a game this deadly without losing a piece of my soul? I might not have all the answers, but I'm about to find out what happens when two forces collide with nothing left to lose.
