Trafficking Stories

While she hangs suspended in a world of sensory deprivation, tied up and captive of her own instruments, he moves like a ghost through her home, dismantling her safety nets one by one. ​When the timer fails to click and the front door swings open to a man who wasn't invited, Anya's private world of controlled limits shatters. ​Transported to a remote cottage and bound by that dictates her every breath, she finds herself in a space where her screams hit grey concrete and her "out" no longer exists. Anya wanted to explore the edge of her vulnerability. Now, Dmitri is going to show her exactly how deep it goes.

What does it mean to heal when the worst is already over? She survived. She was found. She is loved by more people than she knows what to do with, living in a house that is warm and full and nothing like anything she thought she'd ever have again. Felix Lee has not left her side since the moment he found her, and he is not planning to. By every measure that matters, the hard part is done. So why does it still feel like work? Everything I Couldn't Lose is the story of what comes after the rescue - the quiet, unglamorous, deeply human process of learning to live inside a life you almost didn't get back. Of learning to be loved without waiting for it to be taken away. Of a girl who survived six years of the worst kind of darkness and is now, slowly and on her own terms, figuring out what it means to want things again. It is also, in every way that counts, a love story. Sequel to The One He Thought He Lost.

A late shift in a logistics surveillance room reveals a frame that should not exist. One second of corrupted footage exposes a hidden annex, illegal containment units, and a trafficking operation buried inside a legitimate shipping network. Sirius John is a temporary worker assigned to fill gaps wherever the facility needs her. Conveyor lines, cargo verification, surveillance shifts. Routine work. Nothing complicated. During a quiet night shift on the camera grid, a single frame interrupts the feed. What appears for less than a second is enough to expose something the system has carefully concealed. A restricted room. Containment units that should not exist. Creatures that should never have been captured. What Sirius removes from the facility that night is more than evidence. It is a living creature someone has been trying to break into obedience. False Feed is a short entry point into the Lattice Ascension world. The events occur during the early timeline of the upcoming novel Lattice Ascension: Stormbreaker.

“We’re lethal, dangerous and most importantly, we belong the Academy. We’re their property.” I'm Gabby Brookes, I'm sixteen years old and training to kill. So I wouldn't get on my bad side if I were you. I live at Saint Hadwin’s Academy, a school for – if you be it – Super Heroes. Spies. Agents. Whatever you want to call it. We’ve trained our whole lives to protect the good from the bad. But there’s something special about us kids (aside from the fact we know how to kill a person in more than thirty different ways) each one of us has the ability we call a Major. A major is the element we can control: Fire, water, earth and air. I control air. Anyway, we don't do all this stuff for nothing, we get sent on missions, some low key and fine, but some highly dangerous. Yeah, you can guess which one I'm about to go on ... Let's just say the previous agent went missing and now It's my turn.

#1 IN THE "A DEALING FATHER" series [HIATUS] Alejandro had been born into an infamous drug dealing and thieving organization concealed under the state of Arizona. From birth, he'd been trained to one day take over of the organization. He'd been taught how to drive drug traffickers in the organization to and back from other underground organizations when he was only 10. But, things changed when he had a son at the age of 18. The mother had left Alejandro with the child after finding out he'd been doing drugs. Alejandro knew he needed to change, and so he started focusing more on his education than the organization. He eventually was able to leave the organization and start a life with his son, Junior. He'd became a successful pediatrician and was able to do things any father would be able to do with their 6 year old son. Until, one unexpected morning, his parents return to him to come back to the organization. When he said no, the forcefully made him come back, saying they'd kill Dodo, one of the only things that kept him going at the organization-- he was glad he was still alive. So, Alejandro's first day in the drug trafficking business, he's given his first major mission: Steal the Knife of Candy Von Larvay, in the Candylads warehouse.
