Meet the Squad: pretty, popular, and extremely dangerous.

A WELL-KEPT SECRET
Saying Toby Klein is an unlikely cheerleader is the understatement of the year. . . but the squad at Bayport High aren’t your average cheerleaders. They’re elite undercover government operatives. And word on the street is that something’s about to go down in Bayport . . .

A DANGEROUS MISSION
But if the spy business doesn’t kill Toby, it’s starting to look like Brooke, the team captain, might. The nominations are in for homecoming court, and rumour has it that Toby is the front-runner for queen.

A HANDSOME DISTRACTION
Tensions are high and Toby’s budding feelings for the most popular and infuriatingly handsome guy in Bayport High aren’t helping, either.

Terrorist threat? Mission gone wrong? Disastrous Homecoming Court?
Bring it on.

Meet the Squad: pretty, popular, and extremely dangerous.

A MYSTERIOUS INVITATION
When hacker and black-belt Toby Klein arrives at Bayport High, joining the cheerleading squad is the last thing on her to-do list. But after a mysterious note urges her to audition, she realizes that behind those pom-poms is a dangerous secret.

A DANGEROUS SECRET
The Squad is cover for the government’s most elite spies, hidden in plain sight. And they need Toby to retrieve intel from the only person who has it – the most popular boy at school.

AN IRRESISTIBLE TARGET
But evil lurks in Bayport and Toby’s newfound makeover has put a spotlight on her. And now there’s her inconvenient – and growing attraction – to her mark, which might just get her killed . . .

You’ve fallen in love with the Hawthorne brothers, now discover the love story of the lost heir of Hawthorne House. Read Hannah’s side of the story, then flip the book over to experience their love anew through Toby’s eyes in this unforgettable novel that you can read backward or forward.

Hannah Rooney knows how to be invisible. At twenty, she keeps her head down and so far, she’s managed to avoid the dealings of her notorious criminal family. Hannah is biding her time in nursing school as she waits for her beloved sister, Kaylie, to turn eighteen so Hannah can get them both far, far away to start a new life.

Tobias Hawthorne II acts every inch the entitled heir that he is. As the only son of one of the country’s richest men, there isn’t a door that isn’t open to him. Yet behind his razor-sharp cheekbones and devil-may-care attitude, Toby is guarding a nest of deadly secrets and a fiery anger fierce enough to burn everything in his path.

Their lives collide in one tragic, stormy night, where an act of arson and nature leave Kaylie and two others dead and Toby just barely alive – with no memory of who he is. The fisherman who pulls him from the ocean enlists Hannah to help save the very person who she knows took away her sister. Fuelled by her hatred, Hannah is determined to deny Toby’s death wish by keeping him alive. He is the last person that she should ever develop feelings for, and she is the first thing he ever remembers seeing.

Some things cannot happen – and some things cannot be stopped.

A RUTHLESS GAME. SEVEN MYSTERY PLAYERS. LOVE AND LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

Welcome to the Grandest Game, a life-changing competition run by billionaire Avery Grambs and the four infamous Hawthorne brothers.

LYRA tells herself she’s only playing for the money – not for answers about her father’s death and certainly not to confront the infuriating, enigmatic GRAYSON Hawthorne. Facing off against Lyra are GIGI, Grayson’s half-sister, who is determined to prove herself, and ROHAN, who has few morals, a dangerous skill set, and no future – unless he wins the game.

Swept away to a luxury private island, Lyra, Gigi and Rohan must do whatever it takes to best one another, a cast of formidable rivals, and a game that only the sharpest minds can conquer. As sparks fly and the challenges push the players to their limits, it becomes clear that everyone has secrets, ad the past won’t stay buried forever.
