The Lexingtons are the envy of the entire neighbourhood. Wealthy, tight-knit, and topped off with two cherub children, their perfection is something to aspire to for any family. They're untouchable. And Brianna gets to witness their lives behind the scenes as well, when they hire her as their babysitter.
Everything is going swimmingly, until Brianna's relatively innocent quest to find some sort of imperfection in the golden family hurls her smack-dab into the centre of a disturbing web of lies that no one will be able to get her out of. Because hidden behind the pristine white walls of their home is a toxic secret that will tear all of their lives apart — and possibly end hers.

VOICELESS | SAMPLE
Book 1 in The O'Connor Chronicles She ran. They hunted her. They don't lurk in the dark or hide in the shadows. No. They hide in plain sight. They could be anyone: your next-door neighbor, your father, your friend...the person you least expect. The Unseen. Ky Grayson was chasing a murderer. What he found, however, was a girl. Hurt. Starving. Terrified. Alone. Their lives collided-intertwining together at an effortless pace neither of them had anticipated. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized he was in over his head. No one wants to be found. No one wants to be seen. But they see everything.

With Yale on the horizon and graduation just weeks away, she should have been celebrating. Instead, she's dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's golden girl is a pinky finger, a clump of hair, and a red silk thong-clues that ignite a media frenzy and leave her affluent Chicago suburb reeling.

Paired with an eager rookie and hounded by relentless press coverage, Detective Brandon must navigate a web of privilege, envy, and betrayal to uncover the truth. Told through multiple perspectives-including Caitlyn's own chilling voice from beyond the grave-this twisting psychological thriller reveals that the deadliest lies aren't the ones spoken aloud, but the ones left unsaid. Highland Park has always looked perfect from the outside. But peel back the glossy surface, and you'll find that perfection can be deadly.Complete
The Girl They Never Noticed
✨COMPLETED✨ I took a few steps before I stopped to face him again. "Jay?" I said, barely above a whisper. "Hmm?" "I love you. You know that right?" I asked, kind of unsure. "of course. Of course I do." He said, scrunching his eyebrows as if he doesn't understand why I would randomly say that. "I love you very much." I repeated, every bone in my body aching from this pain, this betrayal. What I'm doing, or going to do, is definitely some form of betrayal. But I don't have a choice, right? He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.
