With both of them being stuck in a fixed marriage, will love and romance possibly exist between them? Especially since fate has decided to play both of them. --- At the age of 10, Annie Thomas lost her family after witnessing the massacre of her own. At the age of 12 and after staying at the orphanage for almost two years, Annie was adopted by the Valerio couple, one of the well-known and rich couples in the province of Claveria. The couple helped her recover from her trauma, fed her, sent her to school, and gave her a comfortable life and a new identity. Now, Annie Thomas is dead. Valenciana Andrea "Ciandrei" Valerio was born. Despite being reborn, there’s something that never changes for her—her will to avenge her family, to get even with the Enriquez. Suddenly, fate has its own way of playing. Who would’ve thought that she’d be marrying an Enriquez? The son of the man who killed her family, a playboy, and the Mayor of Claveria, none other than Damien Atticus Enriquez. Despite his intimidating aura, Damien has a soft spot for his family. That’s why he wanted to have justice for her mother, who was comatose for a decade because of Arturo Thomas, Ciandrei’s biological father. With all the odds between them, is love still possible? Or the real question is... are they going to survive their fixed marriage?

The last thing Miranda thought when she responded to a prison pen pal request was to find true love. Joel, well, he was only hoping to pass time and maybe if he was lucky, he'd find someone to have a little fun with after doing ten years of hard time in the state penitentiary for a crime he committed when he had just barely turned eighteen years old. He had been hardened by the things he'd seen and the experiences of imprisonment and no longer believed in lovey dovey fairy tales or happily ever after. So hardened in fact, that he knew women only led to one thing-trouble. Not even a good girl like Miranda would break him ever again. Not with her long dark hair, those hypnotizing amber-eyes, and definitely not those full lips that would look so good…nope, nope, nope. What neither one expected was to find the perfect balance of emotional and physical attraction. Can Miranda's persistence and commitment soften and heal Joel's untrusting heart or will Joel break Miranda in ways she has never experienced before? This is the first book of three in the Locked-Up Lovers series. Enjoy!

If we psychologically damage an individual beyond repair, what will be the consequence of it? We all have a limit to the amount of mental and psychological stress we can take. Once the stress exceeds the limit, we’ll reach our breaking point. What happens after that is a mystery no one can solve, or is it? Lydia Johnson faces a similar situation. She is a complex young woman who faces a downfall stemming from the mental and physical abuse of her father and siblings, the negligence of her mother, and a chilling secret. From abused to loved, to abused again--that’s how life is for Lydia. Her family taught her only one lesson: emotions are for the weak and the weak don’t have a place in this world. With each kill, Lydia atones for the loss of her innocence by getting rid of another emotion and also rids the world of someone undeserving of her love and forgiveness. What lengths will she go to, for revenge, and prove her resilience? Will she ever be able to live her life like a normal person again? Or will she continue killing everyone until her own death?
