Nellie Raven's favorite thing to do was crochet. Despite her community-wide notoriety for causing trouble, her desires in life were actually quite simple. She wanted security, she wanted a family, and she wanted yarn - in no particular order. And when she met Connor Bree, a single father with a passion for life that matched her own, she thought she'd finally found the place where her heart belonged. Nellie was a born fighter whose loyalties ran deep - and she was prepared to fight for what she'd found with Connor. That is, until the day she found herself in the midst of a misunderstanding that she couldn't control; and she learned precisely where Connor's true loyalties belonged. Faced with the betrayal of the man she loved, Nellie is forced to confront just how far her loyalty will stretch - before it snaps irrevocably. And when Connor is slapped with his own dose of reality, he's about to discover exactly how far a Raven is capable of taking a grudge. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven - complete (2) To Destroy a Raven - complete (3) To Betray a Raven - complete (4) To Crave a Raven - complete (5) To Lose a Raven - coming Fall 2025 Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

The Odd Ones A group of friends, each with a name that stood out like a whispered secret, each carrying a story both beautiful and heartbreaking. December I was always the good girl-the straight-A student, the responsible teacher, the model citizen. I did everything right, yet I never felt enough. My reflection was my greatest enemy, my weight a constant battle. Compliments meant nothing when I couldn't believe them myself. Then I met Rider. He was my coach, a force of nature wrapped in quiet confidence. His encouragement wasn't just about the gym-it seeped into my bones, into the way I saw myself. He made me feel like I was more than just my insecurities. And then... he made me feel loved. But love came with secrets. Ours had to stay hidden for the sake of his job-or so he said. I accepted it, held onto the stolen moments, the whispered promises. Until one night, I overheard him. And my world crumbled.

February I thought we had something real-me and Arlo. We moved fast, but it felt right. We laughed, raced motorcycles, shared silence like it was sacred. I believed him when he said he wasn't the romantic type. I believed I was enough. Then he crashed, and while he was healing, I found the letters. Not for me. For her-Lyra, the girl who broke his heart. And suddenly, everything shifted. Every kiss, every quiet moment, every almost-I-love-you.

April I fight fires for a living-but I've never felt more burned than I did that night. As a forest ranger, I live on the edge of danger and calm. My body is strong, my will even stronger, but that doesn't mean I'm unbreakable. I thought love-real love-would see through the scars I keep hidden beneath my uniform. I thought Ellis saw me. Understood me. But all it took was one careless sentence. One drunken confession echoing through a baby monitor, turning a celebration into a battlefield. He humiliated me in front of everyone-my friends, my chosen sisters, myself. And now I'm standing in the ashes of something I thought would last forever, wondering if I've been lying to myself about what love really looks like. Ellis I was drunk. Stupid. Thoughtless. It was just a conversation. Boys being boys, joking around in a room where I thought no one could hear. But they did. She did. And I said things I can't take back. I don't even recognize the man who said them-because that man humiliated the strongest, most loyal, most incredible woman he's ever known. April is the kind of woman who runs toward danger. Who holds broken branches like they're bones and brings people back from the edge. And I crushed her with words. Now I'd do anything-everything-to take it back. But the damage is done. And I'm not sure I deserve to be the one who tries to fix it.

This story was Regretful Attraction and has been renamed The Trust Thief. It follows after The Ring Thief and is Sasha and Caleb's story. It is being written in my FB group and on the free level of my Patreon. Six years ago, Sasha's trust was destroyed in one night by the first person she had ever truly loved. When she was left in the wreckage of that pain, the rest of her world crumbled around her, and she did the only thing she could-retreat. Now, Caleb's back in her life, forcing her to confront what he did all those years ago, and the invisible scars he left embedded on her heart.

One minute, I was living my best single life. The next, I was forced into a wedding dress and dragged down the aisle to marry a man I had never met. I expected an 85-year-old with a retirement plan. What I got? A six-foot-four mafia king with scars, tattoos, and a face that belongs on a "most wanted" poster. Plot twist: He's kinda hot. Now, I'm a mafia wife with zero training, a habit of running my mouth, and a brand-new crime lord husband who looks like he wants to strangle me or kiss me at all times. And me? I can't decide if I want to escape... or stay just to drive him insane.
