Summary

In the gleaming digital world of Cipher, social media strategist Elara Vance crafts viral campaigns with effortless grace. But beneath the veneer of curated perfection, a disquiet simmers.  Cipher's groundbreaking new Instagram algorithm, coded by the enigmatic Vincent Mitchell, promises to revolutionize social interaction.  Vincent, a whirlwind of nervous energy and cryptic pronouncements, believes he can quantify human emotion, reducing connection to calculable equations. Elara is both fascinated and disturbed, witnessing how the algorithm subtly guides user behavior, blurring the line between serendipity and manipulation.  Their late-night debates crackle with intellectual tension, a volatile mix of attraction and repulsion.Vincent, however, has coded his own happily ever after, manipulating the online presence of vibrant travel blogger Kimberly Fernandez to draw her into his orbit.  As Elara delves deeper, she uncovers a darker truth: the algorithm is being weaponized by a shadowy organization known as The Collective, its reach extending beyond individual romances to reshape the fabric of society itself.Caught in a web of intrigue, Elara confides in jaded journalist Nathan Curtis, who sees in her story a chance to reclaim his journalistic integrity.  Together, they embark on a perilous journey into the dark underbelly of the tech industry, dodging surveillance and deciphering encrypted messages. Their investigation exposes a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of power, a world where information is currency and privacy a forgotten luxury.  As their bond deepens, so do the stakes. The Collective launches a disinformation campaign, inciting social unrest, and Elara and Nathan must race against time to expose the truth before the algorithm’s reach becomes absolute.Elara confronts Vincent, forcing him to face the devastating consequences of his creation.  He must choose between his loyalty to The Collective and his burgeoning feelings for Elara, a choice that will determine not only his fate but the future of the digital world.  In a heart-pounding showdown at Cipher’s headquarters, Elara must make an impossible decision: expose the truth and risk destroying Vincent, or remain silent and allow the manipulation to continue. Her choice will send shockwaves through the tech industry and beyond, forever changing the digital landscape and challenging the very nature of human connection in a world increasingly defined by code.

    Gabe's quitting the game and heading somewhere no one knows his name. 
Or his face. 
His plan backfires spectacularly--because, of course, it does. 
It’ll be fine. Everything will be fine. 
Less than twenty-four hours on Heartstone Island and Gabe’s already earned a trespassing citation from an uptight—and infuriatingly hot—forest ranger and has made two good old boys very angry. What can he say? It’s a skill. But if bad things come in threes, he’s not sure he wants to find out what the third will be… 
So it doesn’t make sense for him to lend a hand when a local goes missing, but Gabe’s never been that sensible. He refuses to dwell on why he’d rather focus on a stranger’s bad luck than on his own, but if it makes the hot ranger crack a smile and flex his biceps again, it could be worth it. 
The fact is, his mom was right. He’s always had a soft spot for losers. 
The Last Grift is the first in the Subtle Deceptions series, which follows Gabriel Karne’s various adventures as he finds love, family, and not just a few dead bodies.

    Former cop turned investigator Stefan Kopriva has long endured the fallout from the fatal mistake that drove him from the police force fourteen years ago. Eking out his redemption one bit at a time, Kopriva has finally reached a point in his life that finds him stable and reasonably happy. 
Then the mother who abandoned him when he was a toddler returns to River City and completely shakes up his world. 
Though professing to be sober and seeking to reconnect with her son, Kopriva is initially suspicious of her intentions.

Not only that, but the woman seems to be sincere in every way, causing Kopriva to trust her and to believe. 
What follows is a shocking betrayal and a murder that sends Kopriva on perhaps the darkest journey of his life. He seeks out the truth, even though it isn't what he wants it to be. For better or worse, Kopriva knows that hope dies last.
