Make It Work.

That’s what Cassandra South is trying to do. But making her life work turns out to be harder than she thought. All the same players are back as well as a few Cass has no plans for.

Just as Cass thinks she’s found some even ground, it gets rocky again. Pasts come back to haunt several key characters while others are left dealing with the truth of the present.

Things are changing and not always for the better.

By the end, Cass is left with a big decision, sticking with the past she knows or moving on to the future her mother saw for her and all the complications it entails.

All the while trying to remember that trust is not as hard as it seems.

⚠THIS STORY CONTAINS THEMES THAT MIGHT BE TOO INTENSE FOR SOME READERS. ⚠ She pounded on her brother's door, screaming. No answer. Her tears intensified to the point that she could barely see. Her lungs were quickly filling with smoke. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kailani Flair wasn't exactly sympathetic towards people. Certain experiences had made her that way. After the supposed death of her entire family when she was five, Kailani had made a promise to herself. A promise to find them, or, if they were really dead, the person responsible and make them pay. And she didn't really care who got in her way. However, two young girls might be just what Kailani needs to soften her heart of stone. Nevan Ransom had buried his troubling past when he moved into a small town on the outskirts of Mispa. But nothing buried, dead or alive, stays buried long. His past has caught up to him. In an effort to find a better life for him and his adoptive little brother, Shea, he decides to find the assassin that's wanted all over the Southern Kingdoms and collect the bounty for them. 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘸. His mission is sidetracked when Shea is taken, and he's left with an eerie note with a scarily familiar signature. Nazifa didn't know who her parents were, she honestly didn't care to. They were probably like all the other parents in the Southern Kingdoms. Selfish, egotistical, and money crazed. At least that's how Kai had described his parents, and he was her best friend, so she trusted him. But that trust wasn't gained overnight. She'd learned the hard way what easy trust led to. Which is one of the reasons why she's on high alert around their new friend, Killian. However, when Kai goes missing while on a hunting expedition, she has no choice but to trust Killian. As he knows the woods better than anyone in Paradise. He's the only one who can help her
