By moving to New York, Liana thought she had escaped her past. She thought wrong. One could never really escape the past. Still haunted by the nightmares of her pre-n New York life, Liana is trying her best to make a life for herself in the bustling city. Until she meets Helios, and everything changed. He is an enigma, shining brighter than the sun. Even looking at him could burn her. And when he looked at her? Apocalypse… So when Helios proposes a marriage of convenience, you jump the gun. But not everything is as it seems and their meeting is not purely by chance.

Annaleigh wasn’t allowed hopes and dreams and yet she had them. She couldn’t help but hope that she will be alright. She couldn’t help but dream of a day when her life will be her own. A day when she’ll be rid of the monster that plagued her day and night ever since she could remember. But sometimes, hopes and dreams aren’t enough. In a quest to gain children, Rhoe, Annaleigh’s father, made a bargain with the infamous bargainer. The bargainer doesn’t deal in coins or jewels and yet the costs are steeper than you could ever imagine. In return for granting children, the bargainer bargained for the firstborn child. Marry Annaleigh to him on her eighteenth birthday and the rest of the children lives. So the deal was struck. And Annaleigh's fate was sealed.
