Where We Belong tells a grounded and emotional story centered on Derrick Blake, a loner who keeps both his distance from others and his strange powers a secret. He never wanted to step into the role of a hero, until the day he meets Raven, a girl whose quiet traumatic past unknowingly set him down that very path.
As Derrick grows closer to Raven, he uncovers disturbing truths: her pain isn't isolated but there are others who've suffered similar trauma, their voices silenced. Determined to seek justice for the victims, Derrick embarks on a journey he never asked for, one that forces him to confront not only the darkness outside but around him.
Alongside his brother Alex, Derrick must stay ahead of Pandora, a secretive organization that hunts people like them. Their fight becomes even more complicated when they cross paths with another gifted individual someone who shares their desire to take Pandora down, and who ends up showing them their world might be bigger than they thought.
At its heart, Where We Belong is a story about trust, healing, finding connection and self discovery in a world determined to tear it away. It's as much about uncovering conspiracies as it is about discovering where and with whom you truly belong.

The Bad Boy is Back (Book 2)
(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.Complete
