    Summary

    “Turn around,” the voice drawled, low. He could feel its breath on his back. Battat couldn’t move.

    “You’re hilarious,” it continued, laughing under its breath. It seemed to be closer to his ear, now, as Battat could viscerally feel the rumble of its voice. It almost felt like purring. “You’re more than happy to run yourself ragged, spend endless nights spinning in circles… You’ll even die, but you won’t turn around?

    Pretending to be someone is all fun and games until someone pretends to be you.

    Summary

    But Ava? She was a wildcard.

    As far as Janine knew, her superior was anything but virtuous or honest or cordial. The principal was more often unpredictable, which made her the most successful candidate for the position of Fake Wedding Date. She was cunning, adaptable, determined, clever. She didn't hesitate to use someone to get what she wanted, and she'd definitely pretend to be someone she wasn't if it meant she could spend a free weekend at a 4-star resort.

    With Ava, Janine had nothing to lose.

    Summary

    Years ago, the Midnight Crew were the terror of the Eastern Seaboard. It wasn't an easy life, being English's archenemies, with all the other gangs on their asses half the time and the Feds the other half, but Droog wouldn't have traded it for anything in the god damn world.

    Then they got old, and they had kids relying on them.

    Nowadays things are pretty quiet, most of the time. English has been dead for years, the Felt cut down in the last gang war, all but the ones who were civilized enough to make a peace with. Crime made them rich enough to live out their days, and they've squirreled themselves and their money and their kids away in Middle America where the Feds will never find them. Not that easy, of course. A life of crime and violence doesn't really prepare you for raising kids, or for how exactly to deal with people who don't think you deserve to exist when you can't hit back without drawing attention to yourselves.

    But all things considered, it's a pretty good life.
