"There's a big black box in life, ever present with the moments of pain and pleasure. It is omnipotent and seductive yet it is hidden. Its windows are shut but its doors are always open.
The box grows, grappling at opportunities to get stronger, feeding on the souls of the darkest of humans until we will all be able to touch it. And as soon as we touch it, it will capture us. We will be lured into its depths and it will sharpen Earth's corners."
In a world where terrorism is stronger than ever, Alma struggles to move on from a life-changing tragedy. Focussing on the future and her brother's happiness, she meets people who will forever change her perspective on fear and grief.

THE CURSE OF THE AFRICAN CUPIDS
Set in a divided city struggling with deep racial tensions, the story follows Kofi, a young Black man from a marginalized community, as he discovers the brutal history of his ancestors' fight against systemic oppression. His family's history is filled with stories of resistance, survival, and sacrifice, but also violence-both experienced and perpetrated. Kofi is forced to confront these painful truths as he embarks on a journey to understand the forces that have shaped his world. Along the way, he crosses paths with Lena, a White woman from a privileged background who, upon learning about her own family's involvement in the oppressive systems of the past, starts questioning her role in perpetuating inequality. Despite their differences, Kofi and Lena begin to work together, uncovering hidden truths about the city's past and the violent conflicts that have defined it. As the two of them get closer to exposing a conspiracy that has kept the racial divide intact, they are forced to navigate escalating violence from both sides-those fighting for change and those desperately trying to maintain the status quo. The city's streets become a battleground, with riots, protests, and acts of terror shaking the foundation of society. In the midst of all this, Kofi and Lena must face not only the physical violence around them but also the psychological toll that the history of oppression takes on their minds and spirits. The story explores the cyclical nature of violence, the need for justice, and the human cost of conflict. As the narrative unfolds, the question becomes not just how to survive, but how to break the cycle of violence and move toward a future where peace is possible.Complete

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Complete
