After being put through one bad luck after another and two failed relationships, with the last one pushing her to put up her defenses by building a 'wall' around her heart, everyone thought Isla was cursed to be single for the rest of her life. She would have hit rock rock bottom if it were not for her friends. Now that she's almost recovered from every blow life threw at her, along comes Nadav - the dashing, captivating, straight out of a glossy magazine, Greek god who managed to catch Isla's attention and tear down the wall, brick by brick. But is he really worth it? Is he really worth putting her defenses down for? What if he turns out to be someone else she loathes? And then throw in to the complicated equation the equally handsome but too young billionaire, Roen. What he wants, he gets; by hook or by crook - and what he wants, or better yet, who he wants, is Isla. Will Isla ever destroy the wall and let her heart fall in love again? "You're my little spark of madness that consumed me completely. A madness that pushed me over the edge where no one can save me. I fell too hard - no, I'm still falling and I won't even let anyone save me because I like this feeling. You've turned me into a hopeless romantic. I'm addicted to you. I can't lose you, not now, not ever." - Nadav Thiessen ______________________________________________________________________________________ Copyright © 2014 by Yen Legaspi. All rights reserved.

Prison Diaries: Book 1 (complete) A law-abiding student gets entangled with a broody inmate when she discovers there has been a miscarriage of justice. She goes in to help, but ends up breaking the first rule of interning at a prison; she falls for the inmate. ***** Carter Reynolds' teenage years ended the second the gavel hit the sound block. Or maybe they ended when the police found him standing over a dead body, drenched in blood. It might even have been before that. When he connected his fist with a face that left a broken jaw in its wake. Either way, it was over. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He accepted his fate, only promising himself to never care for anyone so intensely again. Almost four years into his sentence, Arya Crawford walks through the wrought iron prison gates. A self-proclaimed miniature philanthropist with a heart of gold, a law-abiding student with an urge to always have fun, a girl with a silent cause. She had taken up an internship at the New York State Penitentiary. And in time, Carter and Arya both realize something. She had broken the first rule instructed by the warden. She had fallen for an inmate. Which meant she couldn't stay. He had broken the promise he made to himself. He had started to care for her. Which meant he couldn't let her leave. But it's a little difficult to make that happen when you're stuck in a closet sized cell. And waiting twenty-one years is out of the question. ***** Highest Rankings: #6 in Romance, #2 in Passion, #4 in Badboy, #1 in Witty (for those who don't think an inmate/prison trope is their cup of tea, don't be put off because the story is first and foremost 'romance') Disclaimer** Reader discretion advised. - Mature content Story contains explicit language, sexual content, and physical and sexual violence.

"Love is..." I explored my brain to find the most suitable word in my dictionary that could fit in the definition I was trying to say; the definition that could make the jerk, sitting opposite me with a smirk on his face, believe in 'love'. "Bullshit?" He offered with a huge arrogant smirk on his face and no matter how much I agreed with him on this particular matter, I couldn't agree. So, instead of nodding my head in agreement, I scowled at him. His smirk grew bigger and he leaned away from me, gazing at me with his piercing grey eyes. "Finding it hard to make me believe in love when you yourself don't believe in that shit, huh?" With his piercing grey gaze fixed on my every move, I realized that 'being the devil's cupid' was going to be a lot tougher than I had initially thought. (By the author of 'And We Meet Again')
