Daffodil was born into chaos - the unwanted daughter of a reckless biker and a bitter club girl.

Before the road to redemption... There was the fire that lit the match. Ava Sinclair has spent her life fighting for survivors. As a trauma counsellor, she knows the system doesn't always protect the vulnerable; it protects itself. And when a violent man walks into her clinic and turns her world upside down, Ava is forced to confront just how broken the rules really are. Police Chief Harlan Gray built his life on control. Military discipline. Moral clarity. Black and white. But when he arrests the wrong woman, based on a lie, a weapon, and the word of a man, something in him begins to crack. Ava is furious. Harlan is intrigued. She challenges everything he believes in. She exposes what he's been too careful to see. But what begins as a clash between fire and order slowly ignites into something else, something neither of them is prepared for. Until jealousy, sabotage, and betrayal threaten to burn them both. And when a dangerous woman from Harlan's past sets her sights on Ava, it's not just their reputations on the line, it's their future. Because some love stories aren't born in the light. They're forged in the fallout. Series Note: Unlawful Hearts is the emotional prequel to No Redemption Road, exploring the origin of Ava and Harlan's story.

A raw, trauma-forward story of survival, found family, and the fire that comes after the fall. Remi Carter never meant to fall for a biker. She didn't plan to walk into a club war. She didn't expect to be hunted, silenced, or broken. But when the life she's built is torn apart, when violence leaves scars deeper than skin, Remi is left with nothing but rage, memory, and a will to survive. Set against the backdrop of a fractured motorcycle club, a tight-knit trauma clinic, and a ranch that offers refuge to the women the world forgot, No Redemption Road is not about being saved. It's about what comes after. After betrayal. After assault. After losing the life you thought was yours. This is a story of women who fight. Of found family. Of love that doesn't fix you, but chooses to stay when you're at your worst. It's the slow burn of healing. Of facing the monsters who stole everything. Of burning it all down, and still choosing to live. This is not a romance with a tragic twist. It's a trauma story with no promises. But at the end of the road... maybe there's still a way home. This is book one in the Redemption Road Series of interconnected stories following different characters surrounding NRR. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes themes of trauma, sexual violence, emotional abuse, and psychological manipulation. Remi's journey includes scenes of assault and survival. These events are portrayed with care, never glorified, and written to reflect the raw truth of what she endures.
