**Unedited** "She can't come to the phone right now. I'll be happy to take a message for you." My blood runs cold. "Where is she? What have you done to her?" He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic. "Nothing, yet." "If you touch her-" "What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!" My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would. "I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want. Just leave her be. I'll meet you wherever you want. Take me, please, just leave her out of this." I hear Jasmen crying. "See, but where would all the fun be in that? I could smack you around, take away your fancy cars, and you'd be fine. But if I do this-" I hear Jasmen screaming again. What the hell was he doing to her? I swore the minute I got the chance too, I was going to kill him. "No, please stop! For fuck sake, please!!" I felt helpless. I was letting her down in the biggest way. "See what I mean. This beautiful doll is your Achilles heel man. And you won't like it, she won't like it, but I am going to enjoy this next part." Having uprooted her entire life for love, Jasmen finds herself stuck in London with Heartbreak and penniless. She soon finds a job at a big company and falls for CEO, Lucas Bowers. After a whirlwind romance, the shades are pulled from her eyes. Can this new, awakening relationship survive Lucas past? Or will one or both lose their lives because of his lies and deceit?

Delvis Billiard is your typical laid-back computer-loving sci-fi geek. He loves his job, he loves Safe Haven, and he loves his fellow geek and fiancée Alice Jenkins. To put it simply, life is good. Until... it isn't. When the Devourer arrives in Safe Haven, tragedy strikes. Alice is brutally murdered after Billiard leaves her behind during what he assumed was an emergency drill, and the crushing guilt that results from his actions renders Billiard unable to carry on his duties as a Xirxine monitor. His focus is no longer on keeping Safe Haven Safe. Now, he is obsessed with only one thing: REVENGE. To obtain that revenge, there will be some hoops to jump through--and Billiard is more than willing to do whatever it takes to hunt down the Devourer and end her once and for all. However, in his pursuit of vengeance, he forges an unforeseen alliance that might just be the key to mending his broken heart. Meanwhile, Veronika struggles with the consequences of her actions. The voices and faces of those she's Purged haunt her relentlessly, making it increasingly difficult to sleep at night. Nevertheless, her zeal for the doctrine of the Saved spurs her on, even as new enemies (like the grieving fiancé of one of her victims) join the hunt for her head. The burden of her destruction is not one Veronika can bear alone, however. It might take some convincing, but sooner or later, Veronika will have to realize that she needs a shoulder to lean on--and one of the Crusaders seems all too eager to offer it. One's heart is broken, one is the breaker. It won't be long before they cross paths in an explosive showdown that's bound to make your heart race...
