Power Plays: A Dark Why Choose Romance (Deadwater Crew Book 2)

 I came back for answers. I stayed for revenge. 

I came back to Deadwater Bay for answers. Instead, I found my four childhood best friends waiting for me. I should know better than to trust the boys who once owned my heart. Especially now that they’ve grown into powerful, ruthless men who own this town and everything in it. But when my mother’s murder leads me deeper into Deadwater Bay—and my stalker gets closer—I have no choice but to make a deal with the four men I swore I’d never trust again. 

They protect me. 

I give them thirty days to convince me I belong with them. 

It should be simple. 

Except nothing about these men has ever been simple. 

Kasen needs control, and there’s something dangerously addictive about being the one person who can make him lose it. 

Bodhi would burn the world down to protect the family he’s spent his life searching for. And somehow, I’ve become part of it. 

River is impossible to resist, with his cheeky smile, dirty mouth, and relentless need to be close to me. 

And Jay? 

Jay gives me just enough to keep me chasing him, then disappears behind those guarded eyes, leaving me wanting more every damn time. 

But I can’t afford to get distracted. My mother’s killer is still out there. My stalker is getting closer. And the deeper I dig into the truth, the more I uncover about the world our parents created, a world built on power, secrets, and blood. A world that needs to end. 

I want revenge. 

And if saving the four men I never stopped loving means destroying the legacy that made them who they are, then I’ll tear it down with my own hands. Because the closer I get to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell where revenge ends and love begins. 

I came back to Deadwater Bay to find a murderer. I never expected to find four reasons to stay.
