When a beautiful but mysterious stranger offers nineteen-year-old Evelyn a fresh start, away from the tough life she's been living on the streets, she jumps at the chance.
However, after arriving at the seemingly-magical Edenhall Park - an ancient, grand house where the young, beautiful and celebrated seem to live wild and free - Evelyn soon begins to realise things are not quite as they seem.
As Evelyn's heart starts to fill with love and desire, it soon learns to ignore what her head is telling her and simply allow the beauty of Edenhall Park and all its residents to consume her. Especially tall, dark, handsome but mysterious Arden.
Can love really allow people to stay young and beautiful forever? Within the walls of Edenhall Park, it would appear so.

Bliss
Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

Our Echoes in the Shadows
Love doesn't always follow the rules. Sometimes, it finds you in the most unexpected places-on a rooftop, in the rain, or in the quiet moments between heartbeats. This is the story of a love that defied time, age, and society. A love that was as forbidden as it was beautiful. He was 15 when they first met; she was 32, a woman of grace and mystery. Over the years, their connection deepened, a bond that neither could deny. But their love was a secret, hidden in stolen moments and whispered promises. As they navigated the complexities of their lives, they discovered that some flames burn too brightly to be extinguished-even if they must burn in the shadows. This is a tale of passion, longing, and the bittersweet beauty of a love that could never be. It's about the choices we make, the hearts we break, and the memories that stay with us forever. Welcome to a story where love is both the question and the answer."Complete
Shards of Kairos
'There's something beyond the mirrors...' She should probably be choosing her majors for college, considering a career, and the direction for the rest of her life. Instead - she's still working at the small town coffee shop where she got her first job. And while commuting from a bigger city to the much smaller town of Briarsfield where she grew up is a pain, Evie likes the stability. The normalcy. Because the dreams or nightmares that Evie had started having a little over a year ago now are anything but normal. Dreams of an endless void of fog. They've persisted and refused to leave her alone now for months. And Evie is haunted by the chilling feeling that she is not alone in the fog. But when the fog suddenly becomes real, weather completely uncommon for Briarsfield at this time of year, Evie wakes up to a sensation of dread. And that something is very different. And very wrong. That something has changed and she's been suddenly put at the epicenter. At the precipice of something life altering. Or world ending.Complete
