Deep in the Arizona desert live a girl and her dad, burying secrets--and bodies. ***** Mesa Kingston's first memory of burying a corpse was at eight years old. Back then it had been the carcass of a large lizard her dad found that they buried in the backyard of their isolated cottage. At age fourteen, the body of a young lady accompanied the reptile's remains, and ever since, an accumulation of female bodies began to grow. Now, the only way Mesa can stop the haunting screams of the dead is by drowning them out with flames. Or is there more to the blaze than even she can perceive? ***** ** Trigger warning for survivors of abuse for final chapter. ***** Copyright © 2016 by L.L. Sanders

She came to confess her sins. Instead, she confessed her deepest, darkest desires. *** When Emily steps into the confessional booth, she expects redemption, not the temptation of a priest with a past buried in shadows. Father Daniel's touch is forbidden-his voice, a whisper of desire. Once, he was a man of power and control, and now, trapped in the collar of the Church, he can't deny the pull to dominate her. But Emily is not innocent. Her desires run as deep as his, and she's ready to surrender. She craves more than absolution-she craves his control. As their worlds collide, a dangerous game begins where faith, power, and passion blur the line between sin and salvation. Will Father Daniel give in to the temptation of her submission, or will their dark desires tear them both apart? Tempting. Forbidden. Irresistible. If you think you know where this story is going... think again.

Under His Gaze is a haunting, lyrical descent into obsession, beauty, and the quiet unraveling of identity. When Amara flees a life of betrayal, she seeks stillness in a sleepy town-but instead finds herself caught in the intoxicating orbit of a reclusive artist whose devotion runs deeper-and darker-than she ever imagined. In this psychological slow-burn of art, control, and reclamation, Under His Gaze explores what it means to be seen-and what it costs to be turned into someone else's masterpiece. She came looking for quiet. She found him instead. Not every gaze is admiration-and not every muse survives the masterpiece. Sometimes, the cage doesn't have bars; it has brushstrokes.
