Olivia Decoded Book Synopsis: 


This isn’t my Jack, who once looked at me like I was his world. The guy who’s occupied the better part of my mind for eight months.   This is Z, criminal hacker with a twisted agenda and an arsenal full of anger.   I’ve spent the past year trying to get my life on track. New school. New friends. New attitude. But old flames die hard, and one look at Jack—the hacker who enlisted me into his life and his hacking ring, stole my heart, and then left me—and every memory, every moment, every feeling comes rushing back. But Jack’s not the only one who’s resurfaced in my life. And if I can’t break through Z’s defenses and reach the old Jack, someone will get hurt…or worse.

Read below for an excerpt from the book: 

“Wow, who gave you that?” 

“My grandfather. He left it on my car seat this morning.” 

“Oh, boo. I thought maybe you had a secret admirer or something.” I try not to smile at her obvious disappointment. Emerson’s been on me to date for months now. She knows I had someone back in Richmond who was special, but only that we broke it off before I moved here. She doesn’t know anything else about Jack. No one does, because what would I say? The last guy I dated is a criminal, and the last time I saw him was right after we got kidnapped by his horrible boss and almost died trying to escape. That’d go over really well. 

“I don’t know, what do you think?” Emerson breaks into my thoughts as we walk down the hallway to our lockers. 

“About what?” She sighs. 

“Where Kade’s taking me tonight. Girl, you are not with it today, are you? Are you doing anything tonight?” 

“My grandfather’s taking me to dinner.” 

“Sweet. Not so romantic, but sweet.” I smile. 

“Yes, he’s sweet. But a little over the top on gifts sometimes.” Even after eight months of living the wealthy life, I’d be happier if he gave me a gift card to a bookstore instead of extravagant jewelry I rarely wear. My phone starts buzzing, and I pull it from my pocket. Grandfather’s text reads: What gift? I frown, typing, The bracelet you left in my car. I snap a quick picture of the bracelet on my wrist and send it to him. Maybe his text was a hint to send a picture, though I doubt it. He’s usually pretty direct about things. 

“What’s up?” Emerson asks. 

“Looks like Grandfather forgot he left me the bracelet.” But even as I say it, it doesn’t sound right. He’s one of the sharpest people I’ve ever known, and he runs a financial institution.

“Maybe he gave it to one of his staff to put in your car.” Her voice has the usual bitter tone whenever she’s thinking of her parents. They’re hardly ever around, and when they are, they don’t pay much attention to her. 

“Yeah, you’re probably right.” I don’t believe that, though. Even though it’s possible Mrs. Bedwin did put it there, I doubt it. Grandfather is the type to handle things himself when it comes to me. But Emerson’s parents travel so much for their business that they often let their staff handle things like birthdays and other events they think aren’t important. So as grateful as I am that Grandfather’s always there for me, I don’t like to rub that in Emerson’s face. 

“Maybe you really do have a secret admirer,” she says hopefully. I roll my eyes.

“I doubt that.” 

“Oh, really?” She stops in her tracks, her eyes fixed straight ahead. I follow her gaze, a sharp sense of dread creeping down my spine. A white rose is dangling from the vent in my locker.  A rose I know wasn’t placed there by my grandfather.
