What if there are other realities? What if they are just beyond our reach, just through the veil of this reality? What if there were those amongst us that could pass through that veil as easily as walking through a door? What if our government had conspired to control, suppress, and otherwise keep hidden the fact that these individuals exist? What if you were one of them?
That is the world that Tim Calhoun has grown up in though he doesn't know it....yet. He has been a screw up most of his life, an underachiever but has somehow managed to become a decent detective. All of that is about to change when his best friends brother becomes the victim of a strange crime. A single crime and one symbol lead him and his partner down a path that will reveal a hidden world he would've never thought possible and his place in it is even more unbelievable.

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.

What begins as an ordinary day quickly spirals into something extraordinary for Mason. When his school is reportedly flooded beyond repair, he's forced to transfer to Short Meadow High - a new environment, new faces, and, as it turns out, new adventures. But Mason's thirst for excitement never stays quiet for long. After a few strange coincidences and overheard conversations, he discovers that the flood might not have been an accident at all. Digging deeper, he uncovers that his old school was shut down for a reason far darker than anyone let on. The truth surfaces when news breaks that the notorious scientist Dr. Jeremy Langhammer-a brilliant but deranged criminal mastermind-has escaped from a nearby prison. Soon Mason learns that Langhammer and his network of henchmen are using the abandoned school as their secret hideout. With his parents, Mark and Michelle, conveniently out of town, Mason feels an unshakable pull to uncover the truth himself. Against all odds, he and his loyal friends embark on an investigation filled with danger, deception, and a trail of toxic experiments that could threaten the entire town. Between unraveling mysteries and keeping up with school life, Mason and his friends still find time to chase their passions-trying out for sports, exploring the campus, and unexpectedly earning spots on the team. But as two months pass and his old school finally reopens, Mason faces a heart-wrenching choice: stay with his new friends at Short Meadow or return to the past he's just escaped. And with whispers of lingering danger, the real question becomes-will his curiosity lead to discovery or disaster?Complete
