"It started with one pill... now she's standing in the wreckage of everything he left behind."
They say addiction is a choice.
They say addicts are selfish.
They say if you wanted to stop, you just would.
But Brielle knows better.
She watched her father spiral from pain pills to street drugs, from hospital beds to hidden syringes... and eventually, to an alleyway where he never woke up.
This isn't just a story about addiction.
It's about the silence that comes with it.
The families left to pick up the pieces.
The children who grow up learning how to survive instead of how to feel safe.
And the brutal truth that not everyone gets a second chance.
Told through raw memories and fictionalized retellings of real events, this is one daughter's fight to break the cycle - and finally say everything that was left unsaid.
If you've ever lost someone to addiction... this story is for you.

But I've been holding on so tight my hands are bleeding, and nothing's changed- except me. I'm thirteen, and I'm already tired. Not just sleepy. I mean tired in my bones. Tired of pretending school matters. Tired of dodging fists and fake smiles. Tired of being the leftover twin. Kevin was the one people loved. The loud one. The brave one. He used to say we were two halves of the same storm. But he's gone. Drowned in a river we weren't supposed to be near. And I'm still here. Alone. Sometimes I wonder if the wrong twin died. And some days, I know it. My mom won't look at me the same. My dad's fists speak louder than his words. And me? I gave up a long time ago. So I did what you're not supposed to do. I ended it. Only-I didn't. Because I woke up. Again. Same day. Same weight in my chest. Same pain. Now I can't even die right. But then I met her. Skye. And suddenly, dying isn't the hardest part anymore. Living is.Complete

EXCERPT - No Redemption Road - Book 1 of The Redemption Road Series
Note: This is an exclusive preview. The full novel is available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. A raw, trauma-forward story of survival, found family, and the fire that comes after the fall. Remi Carter never meant to fall for a biker. She didn't plan to walk into a club war. She didn't expect to be hunted, silenced, or broken. But when the life she's built is torn apart, when violence leaves scars deeper than skin, Remi is left with nothing but rage, memory, and a will to survive. Set against the backdrop of a fractured motorcycle club, a tight-knit trauma clinic, and a ranch that offers refuge to the women the world forgot, No Redemption Road is not about being saved. It's about what comes after. After betrayal. After assault. After losing the life you thought was yours. This is a story of women who fight. Of found family. Of love that doesn't fix you, but chooses to stay when you're at your worst. It's the slow burn of healing. Of facing the monsters who stole everything. Of burning it all down, and still choosing to live. This is not a romance with a tragic twist. It's a trauma story with no promises. But at the end of the road... maybe there's still a way home. This is book one in the Redemption Road Series of interconnected stories following different characters surrounding NRR. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes themes of trauma, sexual violence, emotional abuse, and psychological manipulation. Remi's journey includes scenes of assault and survival. These events are portrayed with care, never glorified, and written to reflect the raw truth of what she endures.Complete
Ride Me Home
When Dani Vega catches her fiancé in bed with someone else, she doesn't scream or cry-she rides. Leaving behind the life she built in L.A., she roars back to her hometown with nothing but a duffel bag, a broken heart, and her beloved Harley. She swore she'd never return to Ridgepoint. Not to the ghosts. Not to the father who rules the Iron Serpents MC with an iron fist. And definitely not to the three men who were off-limits her whole damn life. But they've changed. And so has she. Diesel-the brooding mechanic with oil-stained hands and a past he's not proud of. Mack-the quiet bruiser who watches more than he speaks...and always protects what's his. Fox-the silver-tongued enforcer with too many tattoos and not enough shame. They're her dad's most trusted crew. Tight as family. Lovers, even. She's not supposed to want them. They're definitely not supposed to want her. But some rules were made to be broken. As sparks ignite and buried truths come to light, Dani finds herself caught between loyalty, desire, and a second chance at a kind of love she never saw coming-one that's wild, unorthodox, and utterly hers. In this town, love rides hard, loyalty rides harder-and Dani's about to learn what it means to truly come home.Complete

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.
