A brooding man with a dangerous secret.
And a girl who just wants to forget about her grief.
After the sudden death of her sister, 19 year old Ophelia Collins wants to forget about her old life and her old town. So, what better way to do that than college. After receiving a scholarship to her dream school, her life is finally turning up, and she couldn't be more content with where she is...until she meets him. And with one encounter, he shakes her whole world.
He's brooding and cold. Scary and reserved. But for some reason Ophelia is more than drawn to him. Maybe it's the tattoos that line his body. Or the way his dark eyes stare into hers and leave her breathless. Or maybe, just maybe, he makes her feel more alive than she has in a long time...
"My heart is so full of you, I can hardly call it my own," he whispers on my lips. I close my eyes and relish in his words.
"I stole your heart?" I ask softly. My arms around his neck.
He pulls me closer, "I'm not letting you give it back. Ever."

The Protector
NEEDS EDITING THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT You thought you knew Jax Miller. Elias's loyal best friend. The easy-smiling golden retriever of The Inkwell. But behind that grin, the ex-Navy SEAL is hiding a war-torn soul and the trauma of a battle he cannot outrun. Jax returns to Oakhaven searching for peace, only to collide with Matilda "Tilly", the shy childhood best friend who pushed him away fifteen years ago. Tilly is back in town, working at The Heath Bakery and trying to rebuild her life after fleeing a cheating ex-fiancé who has now become a relentless stalker. Jax's protective instincts, fuelled by pain he refuses to face, snap into focus the second he sees her again. To keep Tilly safe, he suggests a fake relationship. A visible shield against the man terrorising her. But as the line between their protective lie and the feelings they buried years ago begins to blur, Jax is forced to confront the truth he has spent years hiding. And Tilly must decide whether she can trust the only man who once let her go. Find out what happens when the heart of a protector is finally put to the test. Fake Dating. Second Chance. Protective Ex-SEAL. The Protector is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring a protective ex-SEAL and a shy bakery worker caught in a fake relationship while a dangerous stalker threatens the life they are trying to build together. *** They are set in the same universe with the same characters; however, their stories are a bit different. In the first book, you don't know Tilly, but in this book, she comes in when Charlotte is nearly a year old. When I was writing Wildflower, I had no intention of making a second book, but after a while, inspiration struck, and I didn't want to touch Wildflower, but Jax and Tilly's story worked well in this time frame and i realised i have free will and can actually do whatever I want, so they techinaly work well as 2 standalones just set in the same town.

The Girl Who Didn't Scream
Three months of unpaid rent. A routine eviction. That was supposed to be the extent of Officer Asher Gray's Tuesday morning. But when he forced his way into the dilapidated apartment, he didn't find a deadbeat tenant. He found a nightmare. Hidden behind a door was Aria-broken, bound, and trembling under the psychological ghost of a man who called himself "Matthew." For three years, she lived in a hell of Logan's making, a world where her body was currency and her voice was a liability. Now that Logan has vanished into the shadows, Aria is physically free, but her mind remains a prisoner. She is a ghost in a hospital gown, refusing to utter a single word to the doctors, the counselors, or the world that failed her. The only person she doesn't shrink away from is Asher. He's the one who cut the ropes; he's the one who stood between her and the darkness. When the Chief realizes that Asher is the only anchor keeping Aria from drifting away entirely, he makes an unorthodox-and dangerous-request: Asher needs to take her in. Asher Gray is a man of protocols and boundaries, and bringing a traumatized witness into his home breaks every one of them. He's annoyed, overwhelmed, and certain he's the wrong man for the job. But as the days turn into weeks, the silence in his house begins to change. Through the flicker of her hands and the tentative trust in her eyes, Aria starts to emerge from the wreckage. Asher intended to just keep her safe until the trial, but he soon realizes that the closer she gets to healing, the harder it becomes to imagine his life without her quiet presence. In the process of saving Aria, Asher might just find that he was the one who was truly lost. #1 lovestoryComplete
