Beyond the Frame
When Detective Evie Graves is called to a prestigious art museum to investigate the violent deaths of two restoration experts, she expects another tragic but solvable case. But as she uncovers the details of their untimely end, one chilling truth becomes clear: something far darker than simple human violence lurks in the shadows of the museum. A single painting-hidden away and left covered by a cloth-holds the key. As Evie dares to uncover its secrets, strange whispers begin to echo through the halls, and the line between reality and nightmare begins to fade. With every passing moment, the painting's influence grows, bending her mind, distorting her senses, and drawing her deeper into its madness. Is the curse real, or is it all in her head? Either way, Evie is about to find out-if she can hold on to her sanity long enough to uncover the truth.Completa
The Ravenswood Reckoning
The town of Ravenswood has always had its secrets-whispers of disappearances, strange rituals, and a curse that binds the land in darkness. At the heart of it stands Ravenswood Estate, a decaying monument to a family whose legacy is written in blood. When Elias Ravenswood IV is found murdered in his own home-his body posed in a grotesque ritual, his lips sewn shut with golden thread-Detective Celeste Marlowe is called to unravel the mystery. A seasoned investigator with ghosts of her own, Celeste knows that some cases never truly end. As she steps into the shadowed halls of the Ravenswood Estate, she feels it instantly: this house is not just a crime scene. It's alive. And it's waiting. The deeper she digs, the more the walls seem to close in. The townspeople speak of a family curse, of a reckoning long overdue. The suspects-each with their own secrets-drip with guilt, but something far worse lurks beneath the surface. The clues don't just point to Elias's death; they lead Celeste back to a night long buried in her own past, a night she has no memory of... but one that has never forgotten her. As the bodies start to pile up, Celeste realizes she isn't just hunting a killer-she is part of the story, a thread in a tapestry of death woven long before she was born. Someone has been waiting for her to return. And they won't let her leave. In Ravenswood, the past never dies. It waits.Completa

A Stranger I've Always Known
Maya Stevens is a woman anchored in reality. As a brilliant young art curator in New York City, her life is a carefully catalogued collection of facts, dates, and provenances. But the art is beginning to bleed into her life in ways she can't explain. She suffers from dreams of a medieval fortress, the scent of woodsmoke, and the silver-gray eyes of a dark-haired stranger who holds her as she dies. She possesses an unnerving, intimate knowledge of history she never learned. And in a forgotten corner of the museum hangs a centuries-old portrait of an unknown lady whose face is, impossibly, her own. Maya believes she is losing her mind. Until he walks into her life. Lucian Ashford. A billionaire benefactor as handsome, brilliant, and ancient as the artifacts he collects.

He offers her a world of impossible truths and a love story written across a thousand years. But Lucian is not just a mysterious suitor. He is a creature of the night, with secrets darker than any shadow and enemies far older than any city. And his obsession with Maya is about to reawaken an ancient war, placing her at the center of a battle she doesn't even know she's been fighting for six lifetimes. She thought she was haunted by a ghost. She's about to discover the ghost is ...
Whispers of The Shadows
Elara Vance, a disillusioned art restorer, retreats to her isolated hometown of Blackwood Creek only to discover the source of its oppressive gloom: a parasitic entity called The Murmur. This psychic darkness feeds on human despair and has been secretly cultivated for a century by the town's founding families, the Descendants, who use it as a tool for political and financial control. The nightmare becomes agonizingly personal when Elara realizes her closest friend, Liam O'Connell, has been indoctrinated and made the Murmur's primary vessel. Partnering with the cynical Detective Marcus, Elara dives into hidden historical archives, learning that the Descendants weren't worshipping a god, but attempting to control a weapon through ritual sacrifices and maintained social depression. In a desperate, final confrontation, Elara and Marcus race against the remaining corrupt officials to banish the Murmur before it can anchor itself in a new, devastating public ritual. Using her knowledge of chemistry and restoration, and catalyzed by the sacrifice of their historian ally, Elara confronts the entity and neutralizes the Warden's Lantern, the Murmur's original summoning relic, severing its link to the town. With the Descendants exposed and jailed, Blackwood Creek begins its long, painful healing process. Elara finds peace and prepares to leave, but as she drives away, she discovers a faint, cold mark of the Murmur's symbol etched onto her collarbone. She hears the entity's low, internal hum-dormant, but tethered directly to her spirit. Elara has become the darkness's reluctant new Conduit, carrying the silent promise of its return beyond the borders of Blackwood Creek.Completa
