Before she ran away from home, Grace Miller had been abused, beaten, and hurt in more ways than one by the people who are supposed to give her the love she deserved.
Stranded in a little town, Grace had to face a bigger problem after she had been offered a home by the Brian's--there was life inside of her, and she felt more lost than she ever had before.

Unfailing Love (Heart Series #3)
Dani has loved Josh since high school. It started out as a crush, but a senior trip changed their lives forever. Suddenly, they were making a movie and swept into the glamorous but dark life of the rich and famous. They fell into a world where sin and self-rule and nothing is as it seems. When Dani becomes pregnant, Josh's heartfelt proposal shocks her. Desperate, Dani wants to accept but she's afraid he only asked because he's a new believer and trying to please Jesus. She turned him down, had her child, and signed away her parental rights. After four years of regret, Dani goes home to fix her mistakes but it's too late. Josh is engaged to another woman and she no longer fits into their lives. As she tries to mend her relationship with her son, Dani also grows closer to the Lord. Is it God's will for Dani to watch Josh marry another woman and have her raise Dani's son? Dani and Josh are both praying and determined to please the Lord, but neither of them is sure of His plan. They will need faith and the Lord's unfailing love to see them through. This is a STANDALONE STORY, but there are characters from With All Your Heart & Leaving the 99. Bible quotes are from the NIV version. Upates MWFComplete
Before I Let You Go
"Before I Let You Go" is not your typical love story. Dara Arroyo is 19, angry at God, and done pretending she's okay. She wants freedom-whatever that means-but nothing fills the emptiness inside. Then she meets Asher Miller: 20 years old, confident in his faith, focused on his purpose... and completely out of her league. But when life throws Asher a painful curveball, he finds himself pulled toward the last person he expected-Dara. They come from two different worlds. He's chasing heaven. She's running from it. But something about Dara stirs Asher's heart... and something about Asher begins to soften hers. What happens when two broken paths collide? Will Dara let herself be loved by a man who points her back to the God she swore she'd never need again? If you love stories full of raw emotion, slow-burn romance, healing, and the kind of love that leads you home-this one's for you. "My love, my heart breathes for these moments in time. So I'll find the right words to tell you-before you leave me today." ⚠️ Warning: You may cry. (Even the author did.) 🩶Complete
UMBRELLA : Let His Will be Done
"You don't need the storm to end. You just need someone to stand with you in it." Sometimes, storms come quietly-drifting in on gray clouds, settling in the spaces between words and hearts. In those moments, when the thunder is too loud and prayers feel unanswered, God sends someone to stand beside you. Not to chase the storm away, but to hold the umbrella steady when you can't do it alone. This is a story of two souls, drawn together not by chance, but by gentle, persistent grace. Their friendship begins in laughter and grows in silence, tested by doubts, disappointments, and the slow, steady work of faith. When one can't hear God's voice, the other becomes His gentle reminder-a comforting presence, a quiet strength, a living answer to a silent prayer. Love here is not sudden or dramatic. It grows slowly, like sunlight after rain, nurtured by shared burdens, whispered prayers, and the courage to stay when it's easier to walk away. Through every trial, they learn that following God isn't always easy, but it's always worth it-especially when you're walking together. And so, beneath the shelter of each other's care, they discover that sometimes, God's greatest miracles are the people He sends when you need Him most.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete

Indignant Heart
"Born again, are you all dreaming? Wake up! Nicodemus was right! There's no way you can be born again! We're all already here, we were born! Now, we're gonna die! It's as simple as that." My face was hot and my hands were shaking. We're all gonna die... I pushed the memory back and shook my head, eyes angry and staring down the pastor. "Jesus fed his disciples and all the people around him a whole bunch of crap and they ate it." "Naomi!" "He didn't know what he was talking about because fictional characters in a story never do. They say the lines their authors give them because it's their job to. They don't exist. He never existed. You all should realize that sooner or later instead of wasting your time here, it's screwing with your minds." A pin could have dropped from the top floor and we would all hear it. "Then why don't you just leave." The cold words plummeted against my chest as quickly as they came. That was the pin drop, the end to all the excitement, but not. My heart hammered against my rib cage as the voice echoed through my ears, playing over and over. His words, they were insulting, they hurt, but I didn't show it. I turned and faced him and his eyes remained indifferent towards me. I froze in my seat. They were once this bright hazel, but they seemed darker now, furious. "If you feel that way, then leave." He spat. His jaw clicked at the end of his sentence. "Take your opinions, take your anger, take your indignant heart, and leave this church." ~~~ It never occurred to Naomi that He could have been real, that maybe a life of emotional hardship was the plan for her all along. If it had occurred, she never accepted the thought. She never accepted anything, but Carter. What was life? What was love? What was pain? What was happiness? What is God? Read the story of a broken girl who finds the truth through love.Complete

(On Hold) Lines of Lust and Betrayal
❌ Blurb coming soon ❌ This story has been living rent-free in my mind for weeks - until I finally had to stop fighting it and just listen. It wasn't even supposed to be next. It quietly shoved its way ahead of two other projects I planned to post first. That said, there won't be a set posting schedule, and there may be weeks without updates at all. My other WIPs are still my priority, and between writing, work, and life, it's tough to keep a steady pace across multiple projects. I hope you understand - and only start this one if you genuinely feel like it, knowing it will take its time. ⚠️Content Note This is a cheating romance - there are explicit infidelity scenes on page. The main couple will find their way back to each other, and the story ends in an HEA. If this theme or ending isn't for you, please feel free to skip this one. I have other stories on my profile with different tones, tropes, and outcomes that might better suit what you're looking for. 💫 About the Story Lines of Lust & Betrayal is a standalone told in two parts: Part I - betrayal: messy and painful. Part II - the journey back: redemption, forgiveness, and rebuilding something worth keeping - deeply human.
