Author's Note

Maria Blanchard didn't want to cause any trouble.

After moving to the city, Maria was determined to live a boring high school life. If she kept her head down, no drama.

Too bad she didn't realize someone was watching her from afar.

Xavier Monroe wanted answers.

After the murder of his mother, Xavier's father has gone through great lengths to find her killer. After years of investigating, they may have found who they've been looking for. An organization was building, one Xavier was being dragged into. Xavier didn't have time for distractions.

Too bad he didn't realize a feisty red head would change all that.
