For Lexi Carmichael, hacker and geek extraordinaire, this is an event worthy of a heart attack. She’s faced down multiple dangers, her life has been in threat more times than she can count and she can hack her way in and out of any system but nothing presents a challenge like taking her new boyfr...
Elvis had a gun. “Don’t come any closer,” Elvis warned. “I’ll shoot you. I mean it.” Thankfully it was dark so he couldn’t see the way Elvis’s hand was shaking. I dropped to my knees next to Slash. My chest was so tight I couldn’t breathe. I rolled ...
