Labeled Innocent, Presumed Dead

Family isn’t always blood…but this blood is shed from your family. What would you do if you were recruited to an FBI organization run by teenagers? That’s the problem sixteen-year-old Natalia Serenelli is facing; her hacking skills land her a role in the top-secret group of mismatched agents with polar opposite skillsets—and personalities—called the Bureau. Their main focus is rescuing missing women and children, but things get complicated when it hits Natalia a little too close to home. Five years prior, her older sister, Alison, snuck out to her criminal boyfriend’s house…though was never seen again, nor was a body found. A secret relationship gone seemingly wrong, police refused to reveal his identity and the FBI dismissed her case as a ‘runaway’. Natalia knows there’s a much darker force at play, however, and this only increases her trust issues in the authorities. So it comes as no surprise when secrets unravel…secrets that the organization are keeping about their involvement in Alison’s case. But when things heat up between Natalia, another flirtatious member, and the Bureau’s ruthless leader, she has to make the impossible choice: her suspicious found family…or her biological family of liars. - - - For fans of The Naturals, The Inheritance Games, and Pretty Little Liars, this brings a new generation of teenage detectives with government ties, a love triangle, and a whole lot of secrets. *Check trigger warnings
