But Emma quickly learned that diamonds can feel just like chains.
Sold by her own mother to a rich, powerful, and cruel man, she becomes trapped in an arranged marriage.
Every fake smile hides a scar.
Every forced kiss feels like punishment.
Her only crime? Being born in the wrong place, to the wrong family.
But behind her tears, something dangerous is growing.
Because Emma isn't a doll you can lock away.
She's not a girl you break without consequences.
She still dreams of freedom, of love - and of the boy from the cemetery who lit a forbidden fire inside her.
How do you escape when your prison is made of gold?
How do you protect your daughter when you're not even allowed to protect your own heart?
How far will Emma go to break the chains her mother wrapped around her?
Between hate, betrayal, forbidden passion, and revenge...
A Heart Under Lock is the story of a girl they thought was weak -
but she might just become the most dangerous of them all.
