When Laural finds an injured dog near her house on an isolated ranch, she has no idea of the danger he brings with him. New to the area herself, she finds solace in his company as they investigate the high desert areas around her home.
Signs of a stalker soon become evident and Laural finds she has nowhere to turn. Her only contact with the locals are the people she works with at an area hospital where she is an emergency room nurse and a stranger she meets while hiking near her house. Even the sheriff and the veterinarian seem to show up at odd times, leaving her with no one to trust and with time running out.

VENGEANCE - Everything Hides Something Darker Beneath
Wind howls like a warning, rain whispers secrets against the windows, and the cold nights stretch longer than they should. Even the brightest days begin to dim, as if the sun itself is retreating from something unspeakable. And it's not just the daylight that fades; truth itself begins to rot, sinking slowly into the shadows, buried beneath layers of silence and fear. Arizona's quiet is shattered when the lifeless body of a young, stubborn, and hauntingly beautiful girl is discovered inside her own home. No forced entry. No obvious clues. Just her... and a presence that refuses to leave. A relentless private investigator takes the case, unaware that she's stepping into something far more sinister than a simple crime. The deeper she digs, the more twisted and terrifying the discoveries become. Whispers in the dark. Eyes watching. A pattern soaked in blood and secrets. Each clue pulls her further from the world she knew; and closer to something ancient, vile, and waiting. What was supposed to be a straightforward investigation becomes a descent into horror. A nightmare she cannot wake from. A truth she may never survive. Now, she turns to you, the reader, not for help, but for company. She dares you to follow her into the dark. But be warned... once you see what she has seen, there is no going back. Brace yourself. The truth doesn't just hide. It haunts.
