Twenty-four year old Amara James is a psychologist for the criminally insane. Unlike most doctors at the psych ward, she is well loved and connects immensely with her frenzied patients. Each and every one of her patients are more than curious about her past, which she has lavishly tried to conceal from everyone, including herself; for it has turned her into the sophisticated woman she is today with the monsters in her still lurking in the shadows of her eyes.
The arrival of an oddly familiar yet infuriating patient spurs quite chaos for her sense of reasoning when he opens the forbidden door to her past. To the man she once loved and holds all the power to her sanity and humanity.
To a psychopathic serial killer.

To Wish is to Sin
Amara has lived her whole life under the shadow of the mafia, raised to be the perfect heir to her father's ruthless empire. Trained from a young age, she learned the deadly skills needed to survive in a world built on power, loyalty, and secrecy. No one outside her father's mafia knows who she truly is, and that's the way it's always been. Lucien, the man who trained her and works by her side, has always been a constant in her life-a skilled, reliable partner who makes every mission possible. Their relationship is built on professionalism, but there's always been something else simmering beneath the surface. It's playful, dangerous, and forbidden-nothing more, nothing less. At least, that's what Amara tells herself. But when Harry Styles, a member of a rival mafia, enters the picture, everything changes. He's not just another threat to the family business-he's a force she can't ignore. Charismatic, calculating, and dangerously charming, Harry draws Amara into a game where the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. Torn between her loyalty to her father, the life she's been raised for, and the magnetic pull Harry has on her, Amara is faced with a choice that could unravel everything she's worked for. As the tension between the mafia families escalates, Amara's world is forced to collide with Harry's. But when a connection that was never meant to happen turns into something far more dangerous, Amara finds herself questioning everything-her loyalty, her family, and the one man who could destroy it all.

Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family.
