Deadly Little Hearts

Love was never meant to be a game. And in Daringhood, losing means breaking more than just your heart. Freya walked away once. She swore she'd never let them ruin her again. But heartbreak doesn't end just because you leave-it lingers, festers, and turns into something far deadlier. A war is brewing between Daringhood and Daringville, and The Brotherhood is under attack. Someone is coming for them, striking from the shadows, leaving blood in the streets and bodies behind. No one knows exactly who's making the kills or when they'll strike next. But one thing is clear-Freya is caught in the crossfire. Freya never thought she'd end up on the "right" side of the tracks, but when the enemy takes aim at the men who've claimed pieces of her broken heart, she finds herself standing beside them once more. Fighting for survival. Fighting for the truth. Fighting for forgiveness. Lucas, the boy who once loved her, now drowning in grief over the mother she took from him-and the ache of a broken heart. Gage, the protector, stepping into leadership, determined to shield his family from the war closing in-but knowing he can't save everyone. Hazen, the son of Dominic, torn between earning The Brotherhood's trust and his father's approval-fighting the truth that loyalty and love can't exist in the same breath. Freya knows better than to trust them. But piece by piece, she gives herself to them-too much, too fast-until she realizes she's handed them the power to break her. Again. This time, she may not survive it. But when betrayal cuts deeper than bullets, and enemies close in from all sides, love isn't the only thing on the line. Can their broken pieces form a whole heart-or will the war tear them apart forever?
