Twelve year old Gilly Morris is about to journey through a summer of loss, bullies, guilt and terror. Told from her point of view, 2003 is the summer when the horrible, terrible thing happened to her and her mother. Journey's Child is the story of unimaginable loss and pain, and where redemption comes at a high price.
Drakes Harbor is an old art community on the Oregon coast where Gilly and her mother spend that fateful summer. Alone with her guilt and pain, Gilly befriends a grizzled hermit living with his own loss. Journey's Child isn't a story of what life can take away but rather the cautionary tale of surviving the storm together.

His Secret
Amira Hart was never meant to be part of the story. Not the public one, anyway. But behind every polished legacy is the girl no one talks about-the one who was loved in secret, then left in silence. For two years, Amira and Brooks Whitmore IV lived in that silence. He was the President's son, raised for cameras and campaign trails. She was the woman he chose when no one was watching. Their worlds were never meant to meet. The cards were stacked long before they kissed in the dark. Now, two years later, a wedding invitation arrives. His name is on it. So is hers. Told in fragments and flashbacks, His Secret is a quiet storm of a love story-about memory, erasure, and the women history tries to forget.Complet
UNWILLING HEART
An age-gap, slow-burn romance of obsession, restraint, and the one connection neither of them saw coming. Mia Bennett was supposed to be invisible - just a high school senior helping her best friend return a forgotten ID to her mom's office at Whitmore Tower. She never expected to catch the attention of the building's owner: Jordan Whitmore, the thirty-nine-year-old billionaire known for his cold heart, brutal mind, and the empire he built out of grief and distance. He wasn't supposed to look at her. She wasn't supposed to look back. But in a single stolen glance, something ancient and dangerous awakens in Jordan - a hunger for softness, light, her. And for the first time in decades, control slips through his fingers. He's too old. She's too young. But some hearts never ask for permission. As secrets, power, and desire begin to entangle them, Mia must decide if stepping into his world is worth risking her own... and Jordan must face the truth he's spent a lifetime burying: Love isn't safe. But maybe, just maybe, it's worth the fall.Complet
Friction
Blakely, or Blake as she's now known, is new in town, wanting to run away from all the problems she left behind in New York. Like an alcoholic, abusive father, a dead mother, and a dark past. Ryker, the all American college student, just wants new friends. After accidentally hitting the new girl in the head with a soccer ball, he's intent on getting to know her no matter how much she doesn't want to open up. Then there's Jonah, a quiet loner, a closeted bad boy, and Ryker's brother. He's the TA for one of Blakely's classes and soon falls for her as well, even though the rules specifically state he can't date one of his students. What he doesn't know is Blakely has fallen for him too, but something...or more specifically someone is keeping them apart. A somewhat cliche coming of age story about facing the demons of your past, learning to embrace your present and future and finding love along the way.Complet

The Marlin Belle

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complet

By the Book
After a painful betrayal shatters her engagement, twenty-five-year-old Amina Grimaldi leaves behind the sunlit streets of Italy for a quiet new life in London. All she wants is to teach, to start over, and to forget. But when she steps into her classroom at Rosehill Academy for Girls, she meets seven-year-old June Wilson-a bright, thoughtful child who slowly begins to open a locked part of Amina's heart. And then there's June's mother. Elizabeth Wilson is everything Amina isn't: older, commanding, impeccably composed. A powerful CEO with little time for distractions-or emotions. But when a chance encounter at a bookshop leads to coffee, the lines between parent and teacher begin to blur. As parent-teacher conferences draw near and stolen glances give way to deeper truths, Amina and Elizabeth find themselves drawn into a quiet tension neither expected. What begins with shared silences and subtle shifts becomes a story of trust, healing, and the kind of love that arrives softly... but changes everything. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• -WLW -Age Gap -SmutComplet
Her secret
SEQUEL TO HIS SECRET (highly recommended to read his secret first possibly could be read as a standalone) It's been four years since Amira walked away from Brooks Whitmore-and the life that nearly swallowed her whole. Now twenty-eight, she's graduated from cosmetology school, raising her daughter, Alina, and building a future of her own. Stronger, sharper, and unwilling to be anyone's secret again, Amira swears her past is behind her. But when a man she's casually seeing drags her to a political event, Amira finds herself face-to-face with Brooks for the first time in years. Only now, he's married. Only now, he's on the verge of the Vice Presidency. And only now, the truth about Alina threatens to surface. Brooks has everything he was raised to want-power, status, Margot on his arm. But behind closed doors he's colder and haunted by the woman he let slip away. What happens when their worlds collide again? When secrets can't stay buried? This time, Amira isn't the girl he left behind. She's a woman with something to lose.Complet
