Based on a true story
Valentine grapples with a deep-seated weariness of life. Caught in a cycle of toxic relationships and recurring hospital stays, she raises her son alone, wrestling daily with her dark thoughts. Her pain is rooted in the memories of a stolen childhood and the silence in which she has sought refuge. Why is speaking out so difficult?
"Dare" tells the unique journey of a broken young woman who, as strong as she is fragile, walks a delicate balance between darkness and light. Fleeing her rural home in the Parisian region, Valentine sets out on a journey of self-discovery, for better or for worse. From New Zealand to Italy, she learns step by step, through unforgettable encounters, to understand herself, to dare, and most importantly, to love herself.

Fire Whiskey for My Soul
*First in the Fire Whiskey series* 'What if I was making the wrong choice again, picking the bad guy over the steady and reliable one? Because as I lay there in Steve's arms thinking about Brad, this became a very real choice...and the choice slowly become a decision. No matter how I looked at the situation, I wasn't shaking these new feelings. I had chosen Brad without meaning to, and laying with Steve suddenly felt wrong. Very, very, wrong. Like I was cheating, but he was the one I was engaged to!' Paige accidentally discovers love the way it was meant to be with her fiance's ex-best friend as she pushes for them to reconcile the past, but the two seem destined to be star-crossed lovers as the unforeseen keeps Steve in her life. Brad is quiet, mysterious, always in control. His calming presence spreads through her soul like fire whiskey does in her body. Steve is steadfast, morally upright, dedicated, and simple. She is also haunted by her traumatic history with Jay, and struggles to move beyond the abuse he put her through, which is affecting her relationship with Brad. Paige wrestles with self-doubt, self-destruction, working through trauma, PTSD, grief, and loss. She is a beautiful and talented singer, with a charming and sweet personality, and encompasses a huge capacity for love in spite of how broken she has been.

Hiding Anna [rewritten]
[THIS IS A REWRITTEN VERSION OF THE OG] *** WARNING: Contains extremely triggering and mature content in almost every single chapter in this book, read at your own discretion. *** "That's not a fair deal." She whispered, more to herself than to me. "I know." "Sleep over but with no sex?" "No sex." I confirmed. She pursed her lips together and clenched her hands on the sides of the cabinet. Her eyes flitted over to the remains of two lines of ket. There was still a dusting of powder on the side. "Fine." One word. It was a miracle. I was certain she'd say no, but I'd wanted to try anyway. "No one can know." She reaffirmed. But as soon as those words were out she scraped the remaining powder onto her finger pads and snorted it. *** Cassie Moore is a walking mystery, but the ghosts of her childhood are neither glamorous nor intriguing. She is broken, and the perpetrator stays hidden in plain sight, taunting her with her very existence everyday at school. And one day, it all comes to a climax and her entire world shifts. This is a beautiful romance between two people who love each other more and more every day that goes by. Two people who better each other, a boy who sets a girl free. This is a journey between a girl and her emotions that are continually working against her. This is a tale of how two misfortunate people grow out and with each other in adversity.Complete

Chronicles of becoming
In her thirties, she walked away from a life that felt like it was closing in-leaving behind the familiar streets of Europe, a routine love, and the safety of everything she knew. Drawn by the promise of something greater, something electric, she chose New York. A city of endless lights, endless possibilities, and endless illusions. But instead of finding herself, she found emptiness. Nights blurred into fleeting encounters, brief touches that never lingered, and hollow moments disguised as connection. Beneath the vibrant pulse of the city, she felt nothing. No love, no fire, no sense of belonging-just a growing void. These are her chronicles-a raw and intimate journey of a woman lost between who she was and who she thought she could become. It's a story of longing, of chasing meaning in a world that offers only illusions, and of coming to terms with a brutal truth: sometimes, before you can find yourself, you have to confront the emptiness inside.
