My name is Vienna Drew. I was raised with a gun in one hand and a code in the other. My father didn’t teach me how to be soft—he taught me how to survive. Now he’s gone, murdered without a trace, and I’m going to find the person who did it. Then I’m going to burn their world to ash.

I graduated college at the top of my class with everything I ever wanted or needed—a loving twin sister and a budding career saving women and children. Now I'm trapped in a world I don't understand. My fury is my weapon, and I'm relentless in making these monsters suffer like they've made us suffer.

How dirty am I willing to get? Accepting the brothers for who they are is one thing. Understanding that they might always commit terrible crimes, is another. That was as far as I ever expected to be pushed into their world. But I’m facing an impossible choice when someone else’s life is on the line…

This dark, corrupt world threatens to drown me. While the Institution is fracturing, I am certain of only one thing—the brothers. They're mine and I'm theirs. We're going to survive no matter the cost. I won't let it be any other way.

New town. New school. Same lies. This is my senior year, and not only have my parents moved me to a new place where I know nothing and no one, they are determined to make me fall in line with the life they want me to have. Not the life that I want. But what fits perfectly into their world. I'm...

Vienna doesn’t ask for loyalty. She demands it without a word. And I gave it—freely, stupidly. Even with Rick, her broken guardian angel, breathing down my neck. I should hate him, but the man can cook, clean, and kill with surgical precision. Besides, he loves her too. That’s enough for now.

They say you can’t save a person who doesn’t want to be saved.Good thing I wasn’t trying to save her—only back her up, every step of the way. My name is now Rick Drew. Fresh out of a facility they called a hospital and I called a cage, I wasn’t looking for redemption. I wasn’t...

Life had always been about right and wrong. No gray area. No exceptions. But my time with the bastard sons of the Institution were slowly changing my mind–forcing me to see that sometimes the only options available to someone were bad and worse. Their justice was different than mine and I...

They warn you to not stare into the darkness too long… I’m Cash Morgan. Special Agent Cash Morgan. They trained me to track killers. To find the cracks in their masks, the patterns in their chaos. I was the quiet voice behind a badge, the profiler with a near-perfect record, the one they...

I’m not crazy. I’m the product of a schizophrenic mother who seemed more evil than human, and a bipolar father who didn’t love me enough to stay. But I’m not crazy. Now I’m struggling with life and question myself and my decisions every single day. Are these signs? Red flags?...

"Why are you all so pretty?" It all started when I was six years old. I was homeless. They were held prisoner. I saved them. Even though it put me in the system. They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma. These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the...

So close. We were so close to getting free. A few more deals here. A few more nasty secrets there. All in the name of the cause, of course. Then she walked in at the wrong place, wrong time. Should we kill her? Keep her? Making the right decision was critical, but we were literally at a...
