Sometimes the world is darker than we plan. Tides roll in, days go on and as everyone walks on by, we're still here, unseen. The children of glass, hanging between this world and the next just watching. Occasionally people reach out, try to contact us as if we are spirits, or deities, something to be marveled and then move on. We have tried reaching out, we move things, shake things, and then people call preachers to expel us from homes. They called us demons, evil spirits, an abomination to God's creation. But we are all part of his creation aren't we.

My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me.

Divine Purpose
What if we could see the evil creatures following us around? What if we could see the demons taunting us day in and day out? Those demons that install fear and anxiety into our minds. My family can. We are the blessed few chosen by God to destroy the evil beings dragging us to hell. We see things no one else should or could. I thought I could fight them off. I was raised to be the strongest but that crumbled when he came along. Cal was the nightmare that turned into a reality. He corners me in the darkest of places; twisting me into a cynical destructive world where nothing makes sense. I don't know how much more I can take before I erupt pieces of what could have been.Complete
BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. 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 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete

Moonfall | Book Two
As the moon hung high, casting its light upon them all, No sooner than its rise, did that moon and its light fall. *** For the past year, Michael has lived in the shadow of loss. Unable to shake the guilt of not saving his older brother, grief haunts him, and to make things worse, a recurring dream of a mysterious girl will not let him go. When that dream leads him to the once forbidden Woodlands, Michael makes a chilling discovery: a living Fae. Not only should her presence be impossible as her people no longer inhabited this world, it is dangerous-especially for Michael's mother, whose aid in the Fae's escape would be deemed as treason by the pack and his father, the ruthless Alpha. To protect his mother, Michael decides to smuggle the fairy to the new Fae world before anyone discovers her. To do that, he enlists the help of the Witches-his best friend Zanna, in particular-despite the high tensions between the Wolves and Witches while both are fighting to claim the abandoned Woodlands. And if he cannot ensure neither side's claims is successful, the fairy will be exposed along with his mother's secret. But protecting the fairy comes at a price. Michael wants to hate her, but finds himself drawn to her in ways that do not make sense. Ways that threaten his mission and his heart. And with a forced betrothal looming over him, falling for the fairy is absolutely not an option. Torn between loyalty and truth, duty and heart, Michael must decide who he is: the Alpha's only remaining heir, the grieving brother, his mother's protector, or someone else entirely. Because the Woodlands are stirring again, and his choice could bring either ruin or redemption.Complete
