How do you find yourself when your childhood was a storm you barely survived?
Amaris never asked to be born into chaos. For the first six years of her life, trauma was her only constant-raised by a mother incapable of love and trapped in a home where tenderness was a foreign language.
When she's finally removed from her mother's care, Amaris is thrust into a new world of rules, strangers, and the unfamiliar possibility of hope. But healing isn't linear, and freedom doesn't erase the past.
Torn between the scars of her early years and the fragile future being offered to her, Amaris must decide: will she be defined by the pain that shaped her-or will she fight to become something more?
A raw and heart-wrenching coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the power of breaking cycles.

EXCERPT - No Redemption Road - Book 1 of The Redemption Road Series
Note: This is an exclusive preview. The full novel is available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. A raw, trauma-forward story of survival, found family, and the fire that comes after the fall. Remi Carter never meant to fall for a biker. She didn't plan to walk into a club war. She didn't expect to be hunted, silenced, or broken. But when the life she's built is torn apart, when violence leaves scars deeper than skin, Remi is left with nothing but rage, memory, and a will to survive. Set against the backdrop of a fractured motorcycle club, a tight-knit trauma clinic, and a ranch that offers refuge to the women the world forgot, No Redemption Road is not about being saved. It's about what comes after. After betrayal. After assault. After losing the life you thought was yours. This is a story of women who fight. Of found family. Of love that doesn't fix you, but chooses to stay when you're at your worst. It's the slow burn of healing. Of facing the monsters who stole everything. Of burning it all down, and still choosing to live. This is not a romance with a tragic twist. It's a trauma story with no promises. But at the end of the road... maybe there's still a way home. This is book one in the Redemption Road Series of interconnected stories following different characters surrounding NRR. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes themes of trauma, sexual violence, emotional abuse, and psychological manipulation. Remi's journey includes scenes of assault and survival. These events are portrayed with care, never glorified, and written to reflect the raw truth of what she endures.Complete
Cold Eyes
Her world had never been soft. She'd learned too quickly that people could love you one day and rip the ground out from under you the next. So she built herself out of armor: cool smirks, careless words, the lie that she didn't care. She convinced everyone around her that she was untouchable, that she didn't need anyone to stay. That way, if they left, it wouldn't matter. But the truth was, she longed for the chaos. She trusted it more than stability, because at least chaos was honest. At least when something was toxic, when it was tension-filled and dangerous, you knew exactly where you stood- you knew it could hurt you. What unsettled her more was the idea of something pure, something kind, because that was where betrayal liked to hide. He's cold. She's reckless. And somewhere between jealousy, secrets, and a Halloween Party that changes everything Athena learns that sometimes the scariest thing isn't being hated. It's being wanted. *** Writing for my bestfriend!
Killer Queen|✔️ (Book 1)
⚠️ This is a true story, unfortunately. 🖤1st in a series ✅Completed I labeled this as teen "fiction" because my target age group usually thinks of self-help books or text books when they hear "non-fiction" and don't realize a memoir reads like any other fiction story. ☣️SYNOPSES: I'm finally over the embarrassment and ready to tell someone what happened. I wrote this to help anyone who might make the same mistakes i did; to stop them before it's too late. I thought I could cure my severe depression and anxiety on my own, during my senior year of high school. Instead, I : ✔️Developed a psychotic obsession with a sophomore ✔️Used a 12 yr. old child for a weekly therapist. ✔️Got accidentally addicted to drugs ✔️Became a stalker extraordinaire. ✔️Got myself into 2 fake relationship at once. ✔️Tricked the most popular guy in school, Kiwi (I'll explain the name) into doing my dirty work, pulling a Romeo and Juliet and ruining his life. You're invited to come laugh with me, cry with me, fall apart with me; it's no fun doing this by myself.Complete
