Colton Dawson is a highly skilled detective in Miami, Florida. His colleagues attribute his success to his intelligence and charm, but the truth is a lot more perplexing: Colton has a hidden, paranormal ability to read minds.
This superpower has its obvious advantages, but Colton has lived with it long enough to have experienced the adverse effects of such a turbulent power.
A series of events causes Colton's downward spiral into darkness. At the age of thirty, he is miserable and desolate. He feels as if he's on a fast-sinking ship. Can Colton swim safely back to shore, or will he sink lifelessly into the deep depths of the ocean, leaving behind a mere legacy, that will soon be forgotten?

Chicago Beat - London Heart [ Antonio Dawson ]
Detective Antonio Dawson is a seasoned member of the Chicago Police Department's Intelligence Unit, known for his dedication, tenacity, and unshakable moral compass. He's faced some of the city's toughest criminals and darkest secrets, but nothing prepared him for the arrival of Officer Emily Bennett-a patrol officer from England with a past she's determined to leave behind. Emily Bennett transferred to Chicago PD to escape the shadows of a tragic incident in London that left her questioning her purpose. She wanted a fresh start, and the bustling, gritty streets of Chicago seemed like the perfect place to find it. With her sharp instincts, no-nonsense attitude, and British wit, she quickly earns the respect of her peers, though her methods sometimes clash with the local way of policing. When a string of violent crimes threatens to tear apart Chicago's immigrant communities, Antonio and Emily are partnered to bring down the elusive mastermind behind the chaos. Despite their initial differences-Antonio's steady, methodical approach contrasts with Emily's impulsive, emotionally-driven style-their shared commitment to justice and protecting the vulnerable draws them closer together. As the investigation intensifies, so does the undeniable chemistry between them. Emily finds herself captivated by Antonio's quiet strength and deep compassion, while Antonio is drawn to Emily's fiery spirit and the vulnerability she hides beneath her tough exterior. But both carry emotional scars-Antonio from a complicated family life and a recent heartbreak, and Emily from the traumatic events she fled in England. As they work side by side, they slowly begin to break down each other's walls, discovering a connection that neither expected nor thought possible.Complete

✨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.

At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth.

As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.Complete
