"In a world orchestrated by darkness, love becomes their only light"

In a harsh and violent world where trust is scarce and every whisper conceals a different tale, Nalia, a young woman haunted by a traumatic past of her abusive ex, hides from a life that taught her to be afraid.

Meanwhile, half a world away, Evelyn thrives in the shadows, navigating a world of deceit and treachery with a heart made of steel, only softened by a lover's touch. Her dark world thrives on dealings with people bound for betrayal. She lives a wild life in clubs and casinos, her daring existence creating room for danger.

When a young girl is abducted, her disappearance becomes linked to Nalia's presumed-dead ex-boyfriend, Mitchell, her fragile world unravels, setting her on a collision course with Evelyn's darling lifestyle.

As they come face to face, two souls unearth the lies they've been fed, leaving them to navigate past the dangerous forces threatening them. But as they learn: when everyone is shadowed from the truth, can anyone truly be evil?

Amidst crime and chaos, in the wreckage of their former lives, Nalia and Evelyn find an unexpected bond. Together, they will face the storms that threaten to consume them and carve a path towards a brighter future.

Ace Allister is a cunning and ruthless monster. Gianna Phoenix is a fiery and independent woman who will stop at nothing to destroy him for the murder of her brother. When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both. Gianna has one goal: get Ace to fall in love with her, and then kill him. Ace has another: get Gianna to fall in love with him, so she can't. And as they fall headfirst into a world of dark personal vendettas and murderous motives, the line between love and loathing begins to blur, until it becomes clear that saying "Till death do us part" wasn't just a promise-it was a threat. They say the course of true love never did run smooth; but in their case, it might just turn deadly.

[COMPLETED] When Angeline married Nathan Snyder, it was supposed to give her the perfect life. Her dream was shattered the first time her husband laid a hand on her, showing her that the life she'd married into was going to be anything but perfect. Now a twenty-five-year-old pastry chef, Angeline reaches a breaking point with Nathan's abuse when he does the unthinkable: he threatens her life. Angeline knows that this path only leads one of two ways: either she lives with Nathan and his abuse, or she allows him to take her life from her. Instead, Angeline chooses a third option. She risks everything-and runs. Escaping to a small, rural Texas community, Angeline changes her name to Aaliyah and hopes to start a new life. Traumatized by her past, she never expects to find comfort in another man again-until Jason Moore, a twenty-nine-year-old, winemaker and part-time sales associate sweeps her off her feet with more kindness and compassion than she's ever experienced. Angeline knows that Nathan would search the ends of the earth to find her and make her pay for leaving him. But when Angeline can't stop herself from falling for Jason, she's forced to face a difficult choice: Can she escape her past and be with Jason, or is she risking his life by loving him?
