Seven years after *Scandal*, the White House is finally at peace—or so everyone believes. As fourteen-year-old Y/N Grant navigates family, friendships and growing up between Vermont and Washington, old wounds refuse to heal and new secrets begin to emerge. Surrounded by Presidents, Gladiators and spies, Y/N must discover what it truly means to wear the white hat when the past comes knocking at the family's door.
Moving to New York was supposed to be temporary. After moving in with her uncle, Richard Castle, fourteen-year-old Y/N is trying to adjust to a new city, a new school, and a family she barely knows. But when she witnesses a murder and becomes connected to a dangerous secret, her life is turned upside down. As Detective Beckett and the 12th Precinct investigate the case, strange messages, suspicious strangers, and hidden clues begin to follow Y/N wherever she goes. With danger getting closer and secrets lurking around every corner, she'll have to decide who she can trust before it's too late. Living under Castle's roof was supposed to be the safe option. Apparently, nobody told trouble that.
he 99th Precinct doesn’t know what to make of Y/N—a civilian analyst who solves cases by seeing what others miss. Neither does Assistant District Attorney Ethan Calloway, who believes every conclusion must survive court before it means anything. Thrown together on a complex, long-buried case, the two clash at every turn… until the line between professional disagreement and something far more personal starts to blur.
Since she was eight years old, Y/N MacKenzie has dreamed of one thing: New York City. At twenty-four, she finally has it all. A job as the Communications Liaison for Manhattan SVU, a tiny apartment she adores, a growing social media platform, and a city that feels more like home every day. What she doesn't expect is the family she finds along the way. Between late nights at the precinct, FaceTime calls to Australia, unexpected friendships, and a detective who gets under her skin more than she'd like to admit, Y/N is building a life she never imagined. Then Runway Magazine comes calling. Suddenly, Y/N finds herself caught between the career she's worked towards her entire life and opportunities she never saw coming. In a city full of possibilities, she must decide what matters most: the dreams she's chased for years or the people who've become impossible to leave behind. A story about love, friendship, ambition, and finding home in the most unexpected places. The City I Dreamed Of.
