When a buried past returns, memories resurface, shattering the present and rewriting the future.
Twenty years ago, Brea made a pact with a boy she swore to forget. Now, he’s back to make her remember.
Brea Staxon has the "perfect" life: wealth, a respectable marriage, and children—and a past she’s buried under decades of silence. But the perfection is a lie, and Brea is trapped in a version of herself that she can no longer maintain.
When the boy she loved—but could never truly have—reappears with a shocking proposition, Brea’s carefully guarded world fractures. He offers her the one thing she never thought she’d have: the road to forgiveness and a second chance to change her life.
Now forced to face the memories of her painful adolescence, Brea must choose. In this gripping, heartbreaking, and romantic first installment of the Locked Away series: will she risk everything to finally be free, or remain a prisoner to the secrets of her past?
