"You don't get to call me a monster. Not until you've read everything." Titus Sawyers is the perfect cop in a quiet coastal town. Sharp. Controlled. Married. Good on paper. But behind the badge is a man made of bruises and silence, raised by the very violence he now pretends to protect people from. He was five when his mother died. Fifteen when he stopped being a victim. Twenty-three when the bodies started showing up. Each one staged. Each one carrying a message. The press calls it justice. His department calls it a manhunt. Titus calls it familiar. Told through a first person POV confessions, case files, letters, and memory, The Sheriff's Son is a slow-burn psychological thriller about generational violence, buried truths, broken boys trying to build new lives-and what happens when the line between protector and predator disappears. Because justice was never the point. Survival was. ***THIRD Place in the Uno category in The Card Awards hosted by the lovely Yumei <3

"I see the way you look at me," she said. "And I see the way the dark looks at you," he replied. She was never his to protect. But he still chose to bleed for her. FOR HER- where love collides with danger, and silence carries more weight than screams. ::: Awards Winning list - <> 3rd position (Best Book cover) Winner in - Khat | Mini awards !

The death of a man presumed to be long gone, a body which only they can see. Nina Adler once had three homes - the house that belonged to her parents, her school, and the prison. But on the date of her release, she had none. On that very night, she sees the body from her nightmares - the man she supposedly killed. Only, he had died ten years ago. Elias Atkinson had many titles - accountant, charmer, occasionally cripple, but there were few that only he knew of; embezzler and chronic debtor. On one dreadful night, he saw the body of a dead man and another girl escaping the scene. Both are given the chance of a lifetime; to travel back in time and change past events. To identify the real killer and stop him, to save an innocent man from death, in turn, erasing Nina's acquaintance with the prison. Meanwhile, Elias is promised a future without his handicap if the job is done right. Mayhem will be unleashed in the realm of the past and Nina and Elias must ensure that they are not reduced to the prisoners of past. Book Cover and Banner by @AngeBlancRose
