Confronted with the stark and oppressive conditions of her time, Aracelia Vivienne Valencia contemplates suicide as her sole means of escape. However, just as she is poised to succumb to despair during that wistful midnight hour, she turns into a runaway seeking refuge and redemption from her tormented reality.
Amid her profound distress, she unexpectedly encountered Leonardo Andrés Serrano, a figure shrouded in mystery who emerged seemingly from nowhere. His presence exuded a duality of fascination and disquiet, as he navigated her toward a glimmer of hope and salvation.
Yet, beneath his enigmatic charm, he bore a grave caution. Aracelia's life hung at stake, threatened by unseen dangers lurking just out of sight. And as their hands intertwine, a poignant blend of sorrow and solace lingers in the air, revealing not just a haunting premonition of death looming nearby, but also an intimate bond forged... a connection that deeply resonates between two withered souls.

After Midnight
By day, they judged her. She was the girl everyone whispered about. By night, she was free-the one who danced under neon lights and lived for the night. To other people, she was nothing more than a reckless party girl-someone linked to too many men who looked her way. But one fateful night, lost in the haze of alcohol and desire, she met a stranger-Lucian Evander Vergara, who would change everything. A one-night stand was supposed to be just that-one night. Until two pink lines forced her to face a reality she never expected. Now, she's left to face the consequences of a life she thought she had control over. With no idea who the stranger is , she must navigate a world that never stopped judging her. Will she rise above the rumors, or will midnight be the only place she truly belongs? Because after midnight, everything changes. And she is me-Celeste Noa Castillo.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."

Escape by any means necessary. Life is rarely fair. Life on the run is even worse. Book 2 The art I used as the starting point for the cover was done by Antonio MoraCompleet
