At just seven years old, Dessabeth Anderson is taken from an orphanage to live in a sprawling mansion that never feels like hers. Constantly reminded by her strict grandmother that she doesn't deserve this life of privilege, Dessa is told to be eternally grateful to Jennifer, her stepmother, who allowed her biological father to bring her home. She is expected to listen and obey her stepsister, Rachel, the rightful heir to the family's wealth and power.
In this world of manipulation and emotional control, Alexander enters her life-a childhood friend, the son of her father's closest confidant. Alexander and Dessa grow inseparable, sharing a deep bond forged in innocence. However, as they grow older, their closeness fades, overshadowed by Rachel's growing obsession with Alexander. Starting at age 13, Rachel's fixation on Alexander spirals into a toxic force, driving a wedge between Dessa and the one person she trusts.
As their feelings for one another deepen, Dessa is forced to make a heartbreaking decision: she must give up her love for Alexander to appease Rachel's possessive desires and keep the fragile peace in her fractured family. But Alexander's love for Dessa is just as powerful.
Will Alexander rise above the family's expectations and fight for the woman he truly loves, or will the tangled web of loyalty, guilt, and power force them to give up on their love forever?

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."
