"It's no longer hand to hand combat. It's not longer who has the biggest guns. It's minds against minds, it's science against science, it's strategies and tactics. You're not going to survive this war if you aren't willing to sacrifice the few for the many." The Great General pushes his shoulders back and stands to his full height. "Are you with me, my son, or against me?"
Seth Dane stands at a crossroad when he discovers how his father, a former biological geneticist turned politician and war hero, brought his home country though a terrible war. For several years after the conclusion of the overseas war there was peace, until a civil war erupted between the military and it's supporters and the opposing population. Faced with the horrifying truth surrounding the circumstances of his father's victories, Seth either stands with his father as he has for years, or embraces the truth.

The Last Line
The world has changed. Entire nations have collapsed, and the few who remain struggle to survive in the shadows of what once was. Communication is lost, allies are scattered, and something far worse than war now stalks the Earth. For Anthony Maxwell, Nova Parker, and Leo Alexander-once elite operators in the world's strongest military forces-everything they once knew is gone. Now part of Task Force 12, a unit forged from the remnants of the past, their mission is simple: survive, resist, and fight back against an enemy no one fully understands. But when a recon mission leads them to a forgotten military bunker, they uncover something that shatters everything they believed. The creatures aren't weapons. They weren't created. They were summoned. And the ones who brought them here? They have a plan. With time running out and humanity on the brink, Task Force 12 must strike at the heart of the enemy before the world falls completely into darkness. But in a war where the rules no longer apply, victory is not guaranteed. Some battles can't be won. Some horrors can't be stopped. And some doors should have never been opened.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now.

From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Ash and Ember Series

We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.Complete
