Hawken Trent. So polite. So sweet. Such an upstanding young man. A virgin, too, I hear. He never gets naughty with a girl. Probably because Jesus told him not to. And now here he is, trying to be the hero by protecting another girl from me.
He calls me a bully. Irrational. Unreasonable. A criminal. He can call me anything he wants, Iâve heard worse. And he can try to stand between me and my money, but heâs never had to fight for food. That rich, clean, school boy doesnât have what it takes.

I surprised her. You shouldâve seen her face.
Just because I donât have a record, honey, doesnât mean Iâm clean. It just means Iâm better at not getting caught. That is until I realize I mightâve actually gone too far this time.
Sheâs there. Iâm there. The scene of the crime. Itâs dark. The police show up. We have no choice. We run. Down High Street, into Quinnâs bake shop, and I pull her through the entrance to the old speakeasy that everyone forgot was here decades ago.
The door locks, the cops circle the building, never knowing weâre right here, and Iâm hidden in plain sight, indefinitely, with someoneâs whoâs awful. Mean. Rough. Dirty. A thief. A delinquent.
Until one night, lost in all of these rooms together, I donât see any of those things anymore. Sheâs smart. Daring. Soft. Hot⊠Everythingâs changing. Itâs this place. It does something to people.
We have a silly urban legend in Shelburne Falls about mirrors. Theyâre a gateway. Donât lean back into them. But we came through front first. I donât care what the county records say. This was never a speakeasy. Itâs Carnival Tower.
Fall Boys is a standalone new adult romance suitable for readers eighteen plus. Reading the Falls Away series first is helpful but not necessary.
