Deputy Sergio Desoto made a deathbed promise to his brother to always look after his wife, Salome - or Sal, as the whole Desert Springs police department affectionately calls her. Everybody loves Sal, including Sergio who has secretly been in love with her for years, though his honor and integrity have never allowed him to pursue her.
He despairs of ever being able to keep the lovely nurse safe from a vengeful drug cartel that will stop at nothing in their quest to turn him into a dirty cop on their payroll. So he comes up with a plan to send Sal and his six-year-old son into hiding until he can resolve the escalating threats to their lives once and for all.
But Sal has other ideas. She's proud to be a Desoto, and she doesn't believe running is the answer. If she refuses to go into hiding, however, Sergio will have to deal with something far more daunting than the crosshairs of a hitman. He'll finally have to face his feelings for her!

The Cure For Boredom
Jenna Myers starts out with the kind of life most girls would envy-sweet boyfriend, loving family, predictable routines in a quiet Florida town. It's so perfect it's boring. But boredom doesn't last. After her newborn brother dies from SIDS, Jenna's world collapses. Her grief pulls her straight into the orbit of her cousin Tessa-who drags her into cocaine, all-nighters, and eventually court-ordered rehab. Months later, Jenna gets caught and ends up in the same facility, stuck in the same destructive cycle. Rehab doesn't save them. It traps them together long enough to get pregnant. So they run. From Florida to California, the girls survive off prostitution, drugs, strangers, and whatever numbness they can find. They fall in with Parker and his crew, drifting from state to state until Jenna ends up married just to stay alive. But chaos doesn't slow down-Tessa loses her baby, the crew abandons them, and a car accident takes Tessa's life before Jenna can stop it. Then another crash kills Parker and leaves Jenna pregnant and alone, with nothing left but the one place she's been running from: Home. The cure for boredom turned out to be chaos-addictive, dangerous, and nearly deadly. ⚠️ Content Warnings: This story contains: drug use & addiction cocaine use teen pregnancy prostitution homelessnes death (including infant loss, car accidents) grief & trauma graphic emotional distress unsafe situations involving minors Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete

Bound By Fire
When Summer Walters was six years old, her world was shattered. The day her baby brother Sean was born should have been a moment of joy, but it became a nightmare when the police arrived with devastating news-her father had been murdered, his body discarded in the woods. For years, she believed the lie that he was a victim of random violence. But in 1989, at twenty years old, Summer uncovered a truth far more chilling. Her father had been a drug dealer-not just any dealer, but an informant working with the FBI to escape the grasp of the ruthless kingpin Franz Sanchez. His betrayal had cost him his life. Now, armed with the truth and a fire for justice, Summer refuses to be another victim. She is determined to bring down the man responsible for her father's death, no matter the cost. Her journey will take her into the heart of a dangerous empire, where trust is a luxury and betrayal is inevitable. But Summer is no longer the scared little girl who lost her father. She is a woman with nothing left to lose-and everything to fight for. This is her story. A story of loss, betrayal, and revenge. And she won't stop until Franz Sanchez pays for what he did.
