Lingling Kwong, a powerful and successful CEO, has built her empire with discipline and determination, never letting anything-or anyone-distract her. But when her father, desperate to secure the family legacy, forces her into arranged dates, she finds herself trapped in a game she never wanted to play. One of those dates turns out to be Orm Kornnaphat, an ambitious and talented employee in her company-someone Lingling has noticed before. At first, it's just an obligation, a dinner to get through. But as time passes, Orm's warmth, intelligence, and quiet defiance begin to challenge everything Lingling thought she knew about love. What starts as an arrangement soon becomes something neither of them can ignore-a spark that threatens to upend Lingling's carefully controlled world.

Seven year old Lalisa Forest follows her dad out one stormy night and discovers that he's been keeping a young woman captive. She helps her to safety and notifies the police of what she's seen. That morning they arrest Titus Forest who they later identify as a man who's responsible for over thirty murders. All young females, all in the same gruesome and inhuman way. Lalisa and her remaining family are taken in by their estranged Uncle's, get new identities and tries to forget about the horror that happened that summer night. Nearly twenty years later firefighter Lieutenant Lisa Manoban returns to her hometown. She buys a house with the intention of rebuilding it, just as she intendeds to do with her life. On her first day back she runs into Jennie Kim, and she's swept off of her feet in an instant. Just when she starts to believe that maybe she has a chance at a normal life, she's thrown into yet another nightmare. After all of the crap the universe had thrown at her, she really should have known better than to relax all of the safety measures. © JENLISA ADAPTION
