When lonely artists Ashton and Ria come together, nothing can prepare them for the collision. They're drawn to each other like day and night, but with more in common than they could ever know. After being burned by past lovers, they're hesitant to give their connection a chance, sending them on a journey of discovering themselves and one another. Though the longer they spend time together, painting love across the starless nights, the faster shadows of the past slip through the cracks of their fantasy.

Beneath Ashton's gentle exterior rests a nest of lies. He's hiding something, a past so dark it puts Ria's very life at risk. Blinded by her need to free him from pain and self-destruction, she takes his flaws head-on and falls onto the radar of his most ruthless enemies. With lies, secrets, and schemes storming over the horizon, it'll take everything to keep Ria from falling into darkness as she attempts to save Ashton from his own.

To get through a heartache after the sudden breakup, Arabella moves to New York City to start another chapter of her life. Driven by the hope to make Adrian Castle, the man who left her broken to pieces with an excuse of protecting her against his world, Arabella suffers a mess and as retribution for her pain, she embarks on a journey of self-destruction by embracing the real her no one knows and accepts the challenge of living in the same world Adrian tried to protect her against. But hating Adrian is more difficult than loving him, little did Arabella know until she's once again trapped in that dark and intense love, unable to escape its never-ending, vicious cycle. She falls victim to her own desire while drowning deeply in Adrian's dangerous world of killing or getting killed--the world full of lies, secrets, and so much deception that she learns along the way. In the end, everyone has a secret, and so does Adrian Castle who learns the real meaning of pain when it's time to face the wrath of his past. Some of the lives he took, the hearts he broke, and the families he destroyed--whether willingly or not--come back to haunt him, and eventually demand the one thing he cherishes the most. The love that feared no danger, the one that overcame excruciating pain will once again be tested by the ugly truth Arabella uncovers about Adrian Castle. Perhaps he's not the man she thought he was, and maybe he's indeed nothing but a cruel, emotionless monster who destroys everything he touches.

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
