Annie Warner has worked for Adams, Incorporated for seven months, almost exactly, but this wasn't the career she wanted. Her entire life, all she ever wanted was to write novels that would change people's lives. This cleaning job was not what she wanted. Adams, INC. is no normal business, that would be too easy... Adams, INC is the largest insane asylum in North America.
Straight out of college, this was only supposed to be temporary, to bring in a little extra cash before her book took off, but all her hopes and dreams, along with her inspiration for writing, has been pushed aside when she is offered a position helping out the patients...
The newest patient, Kellan English, was diagnosed with Schizophrenia at 17, just a month before graduation. Growing up just miles apart, Annie knows nothing of the ill man, but Kellan knows exactly who Annie Warner is. His single favorite memory of his childhood is a 15 year old Annie laughing as her then-boyfriend, a jeck who found huge fun in Kellan's stutter, tossing eggs at Kellan. The beautiful blonde has been the only thing to distinguish reality from the monsters were living in his head for the entire time he has been living in Adams, INC. Annie Warner is mysterious, yet in his mind, she's absolutely perfect.
Nearly six years have passed since the graduation they would have shared, but only Annie has been given a chance to follow her dreams, looking to the future. Her new career helping the newest eight patients in the third unit of the hospital is showing that what Annie always wanted, is not what she needed.
Annie's new position may be giving both Kellan and herself a second chance, one toward the future that was right for both of them. As Annie discovers that insanity is just a title, and you better watch where you are using it, Kellan is seeing that the future may have been so out of reach alone may be just around the corner with the help of some unlikely friends.
Monsters are all in your head, anyways..
Right?
How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way.
Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession...
Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything.
Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye.
Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his.
Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished.
Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price?
