Faded Memories
"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough. Time begins counting down, fast. Did she want to involve her friends? Could the new people in her life be trusted? She wouldn't have long to make a decision. Not before her world comes blazing down, the final battle on the horizon. Tick, tock, Amelia. You don't want to be late to the party when you're the guest of honour. COMPLETED 06/11/20Complete

Blood & Vows
In the shadow-filled world of Moscow's criminal elite, two warring families have maintained a fragile, blood-soaked equilibrium-until a chance encounter threatens to destroy everything. Viktor Mikhailov rules the city's underworld with cold precision. Feared by enemies and allies alike, he takes what he wants and eliminates anything in his path. His empire is built on calculated ruthlessness, and he's never encountered a weakness he couldn't crush. Alina Sokolov has been sheltered from her father's dangerous world, a prized possession kept untainted by the brutality of the bratva. Intelligent and quietly rebellious, she's built her own sanctuary in the world of art and beauty, far from the violence that funds her privileged life. When their paths collide at an elite Moscow gala, the chemistry between them is immediate and devastating. But Viktor isn't just any dangerous man-he's her father's sworn enemy, the man who's promised to destroy the Sokolov family. And Alina represents everything Viktor has taught himself to resist: innocence, vulnerability, temptation. What begins as a calculated seduction quickly evolves into an obsession neither can control. As Viktor draws Alina deeper into his world of luxury and violence, she must decide if she's willing to sacrifice everything for a man who brings destruction with one hand and passion with the other. In a city where trust is a weakness and love is a liability, Viktor and Alina's forbidden affair threatens not just their hearts, but the empires their families have built on blood and betrayal. ------------Complete
