Pretty When They Cry
Seattle has always had its ghosts-the missing women, the unsolved disappearances, the cases that fade into cold files. But Detective Sarah Navarro knows better. These women didn't just vanish. They were taken. For years, she's hunted the shadow lurking beneath the city's neon glow, a predator known only as The Watcher. He doesn't just kill. He keeps his victims alive in the digital world, updating their social media accounts long after they're gone-responding to messages, posting photos, making their families believe they're still out there. But Sarah isn't fooled. She knows he's real. And she's running out of time to stop him. Then there's Emily Monroe-the girl who got away. The only one who has ever survived him. She was just nineteen when she escaped his grasp, bloodied and broken, running barefoot through the streets in the dead of night. But she doesn't remember everything. And she doesn't want to. For years, she's buried the trauma, drowning it in alcohol and pretending the past is behind her. But when a new girl disappears-one who eerily resembles Emily at that age-her carefully constructed world begins to crack. Sarah and Emily have never met, but their paths are about to collide. Because The Watcher is evolving. He's adapting. And he's been watching all along. As Sarah pieces together decades of disappearances and Emily unearths long-buried memories, the truth slowly emerges. This isn't just another case. This is a game. And The Watcher is always one step ahead. Because in his mind, the hunt is never over. And the prettiest ones always cry the most.
Captive Bonds
He didn't steal me. He claimed me. One moment, I was dancing with my best friends. The next, the lights died-and the Dominion came. When I woke, a broken crown was inked into my ankle. His mark. Damien Voss. The man in the expensive suit. The man who watched me in the club like he already owned me. Now he does. He says I'm not merchandise. I'm his. Not because he's merciful-because he wants to keep me. Break me. Remake me. And the worst part? Some dark, hungry part of me wants him to. When he touches me, I forget to be afraid. When he whispers that he sees the monster inside me, I can't deny it. When he promises to ruin me, I wonder how it will feel to finally belong to someone who refuses to let me go. This isn't love. This is obsession. And I don't know if I'll survive it... or if I even want to.Complete
The Crimson Spotlight (Book 1)
Detective Elias Voss never wanted to be center stage-until a killer made him the star of a twisted play. In the rain-drenched shadows of a crumbling city, a young woman's throat is slashed, her sequined dress a glittering shroud, a black rose pinned to her chest like a macabre boutonnière. The note left behind is a taunt, a curtain call addressed to Detective Elias Voss: "The first act begins. Curtains up, Detective." At twenty-four, Elias is a prodigy with a mind sharper than the killer's blade-shy, devastatingly handsome, and more comfortable with corpses than compliments. He's paired with Mara Quinn, a rookie officer whose wit is as quick as her courage, and together they're thrust into a case that's equal parts theater and terror. The crime scene is a stage, the murder a performance, and the killer a director with a penchant for blood and bravado. As Elias and Mara unravel the clues-a glitzy party, a shadowy figure in a hoodie, a trail of crimson-they realize this is no isolated act. It's the opening night of a deadly series, and Elias is the unwilling lead in a script written by a psychopath. With dark humor as their shield and the spotlight burning hotter with every move, they must catch the curtain before it falls-on them. Perfect for fans of twisted mysteries and unlikely heroes, The Crimson Spotlight is the first act in a gripping new series where every clue is a line, every death a scene, and the finale is far from guaranteed.Complete
