For Natalie Davis, life is a blur. Life is one depressing haze as she attempts to make it through each new day and forget about the last. When she thinks she can’t take any more of the heartache and pain that plagues her daily, a handsome stranger named Henry enters her life in the subway of all places.
With his sudden appearance, Henry brings with him a light—a light that has never been present before in her life. He paints her black world with every color of the rainbow and she soon finds herself looking forward to their ride on the Green Line to and from work each day. Henry becomes the sun that chases away all of the shadows. Finally, things are looking up for Natalie and she can look forward to a future that might have room for the one thing she’s always avoided.
Love.
In Natalie’s life, however, there’s always a catch. Each time she thinks she’s found happiness, the tragic cycle of her life begins again and she’s back to square one. She wonders if, with Henry though, she’ll finally be able to let her guard down and enjoy being in the moment.
When dark secrets are revealed about her life, Natalie feels herself being drawn into the colorless void she’s always so desperately tried to crawl away from.
Will Henry be there for her in the end, lighting the path, or will she once again be thrust into a despondent place she is far too familiar with?

Sparring with Ghosts
A/N - I wanted to share something personal with you all. I have Aphantasia, which means I'm unable to visualize images in my mind. To bring my world and characters to life in a more visual way, I've teamed up with ChatGPT to generate the images you'll find throughout the book. I hope they add an extra layer to the experience and help you step further into the world of my story. Thank you for your support and for joining me on this journey! ... Three years have passed since the events that shattered their lives and brought them face to face with the supernatural world. Aydith and Leigh have spent that time trying to rebuild-Aydith by throwing herself into combat training, determined to never be vulnerable again, and Leigh by confronting her inner demons and overcoming her past struggles with addiction. Now living together in a quiet apartment, their lives are relatively calm-on the surface. But the absence of their old friends, Henry, Rita, Gene, and Lisa, who have been chasing leads on supernatural activity in Sydney, weighs heavily on them. It's been nearly four months since Leigh last heard from Rita, and the radio silence is starting to feel like more than just bad reception - until the group mysteriously reappear and take off where things had been left. As the present unravels, Sparring with Ghosts weaves in flashbacks to Henry, Gene, and Rita's pasts, revealing the scars they carry-both physical and emotional. Each memory brings the weight of loss, old flames, and the fear of letting new love take root. As Aydith and Henry struggle to reconcile their growing feelings, and Rita and Leigh's bond deepens, both couples are haunted by the fear of losing one another before they've even begun. With danger looming and trust hanging in the balance, past and present collide in a fight for survival, where the hardest battles are often fought within. Will their ghosts drive them apart, or will they find the strength to build something lasting?Complete
