Five years ago, Saffron Ramos made a choice: mamatay sa harap ng mga mata ni Allaric Verchez para mabuhay ang anak na ayaw nitong kilalanin. She staged a car crash, erased her existence, and vanished into the cold Swiss air. She turned herself into Amber Alessi-isang matapang, mailap, at eleganteng art restorer na walang kinatatakutan. But the past is a persistent hunter. Nang muling mag-krus ang landas nila sa Zurich, Aric isn't the man she once loved; he's a predator searching for a ghost. He wants answers. He wants her back. At sa bawat paglapit niya, unti-unting gumuguho ang pader na itinayo ni Amber para sa sarili at sa anak niya. She thought she had escaped his shadow, not realizing she was just biding time in a gilded cage. Now, the game has changed. In a world where he holds all the power and she holds all the secrets, Saffron must decide if she's ready to burn it all down-or if her heart will once again be left hanging Upon His Mercy. -- Blackwood Series #3: Aric

Escape was the only thing on Kleio's mind. She wanted out of her father's shadow and away from the suffocating rules of the Command. Ang plano? Isang pekeng kidnapping para mawala siya sa mapa. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. Ang lalaking sumalubong sa kanya sa dilim ay ang lalaking trinaydor niya sa Academy at ang nag-iisang lalaking may malalim na rason para kamuhian siya. Adi Verchez didn't come for the ransom. He came for her. He knows every secret she's hiding, every bruise she's trying to mask, and exactly how to make her break. Sa bawat haplos at bawat laro ni Adi, unti-unting nalilimutan ni Kleio kung bakit ba siya tumatakas sa simula pa lang. It started as a desperate run for freedom, but now, it's a dangerous dance of submission. She thought she was running toward freedom, not realizing she was walking straight within his grasp. --- Blackwood Series #2: Adiel

​To the world, Naia Isabelle has everything. To herself, she is just a well-packaged product waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. So, she did the unthinkable: she ran. ​She traded the luxury of Manila for a dusty workshop in Cagayan, and her polished fiancé for Rocco-a cold, brooding mechanic who looks at her like she's nothing but trouble. He doesn't know her name, and he doesn't want to know her story. All he wants is for her to leave before the ghosts of his own past catch up to them. ​But beyond the reach of the spotlight, the lines between acting and reality begin to blur. In the heat of the North, they find a connection that feels more real than any script they've ever followed. ​The problem with running, though, is that eventually, you run out of road. And in the dark, even the people you trust most have shadows of their own. - Blackwood Series #1: Rocco
