(Book #3 in the Family Ties Series)
Faye was finally starting to feel happy again. With her family and friends safe and the merman she'd grown to love by her side, she'd slipped back into her routine of school, work, and being with her family. Even her depression had begun to level out, bringing a sense of peace and comfort she hadn't felt in a long time. Her reputation as a Siren was no longer a novelty; she could finally return to being under the radar. Or so she thought. After an enemy reveals a heartbreaking family secret (one that could threaten every Siren and their families), Faye will have to work with someone she never thought she could trust to uncover the truth. Will she be able to push past prejudice and history to save every Siren and prevent the destruction of everything and everyone she loves? Read to find out.

Trust Issues
(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 4 in The Family Ties series) Trust is something that has never come easy to Faye Mercer. After losing her birth mother and sister at barely a year old, she learned that life is precious. As she got older, however, she realized that absolute, lasting trust comes at a steep price. After being adopted by the Solomons, she finally felt able to let her guard down and reassured that she would never be abandoned again. Right after her 17th birthday, she started having strange dreams of being surrounded by mermaids begging her to come home. Now, five years later, she has reluctantly settled into her role as a Siren, though her past actions still haunt her. She's tried so hard to distance herself from them at her peril. The only good thing she can say that has come out of it is that she met a caring, kind merman who swore he'd never leave her. After her oldest friend is dealt a heartbreaking realization, Faye reevaluates her morals. When the reappearance of the Lost Soul Pendant threatens the lives of everyone she loves and cares about, Faye will have to decide where her trust lies: with the family who'd gratefully accepted her or the so-called family that she'd been thrust into?

(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 8 in the Family Ties Series) At just 25 years old, Drew Mercer has learned the hard way that letting someone in is the quickest way to get them taken away from you. Following his younger sister Faye's murder, his grief made him adrift and hollow, scared of letting anyone else in lest they leave just as his birth family had. After the attempted assassination of his wife Ani and the brutal murder of Nepptheas' queen, the truth emerges. Queen Nerissa's sister and her husband (who were exiled from Aegrem decades ago for the alleged murder of the queen and king of Nepptheas) were responsible. Not only that but Naia's thirst for revenge is revealed: more vigorous than ever and even more dangerous. Seeing the respect and love Aegrem's citizens bear Nerissa and Jay (and vice versa) fills her with jealousy and greed. Desperate, Naia and Brandon meet with Ani's estranged sister and mother to get Ani out of the picture. When an attack on Beltmare's palace leaves Izzy, Ani, and Elle gravely injured, Nerissa and Jay must unite with Drew, David, Bella, and Marlin to bring the perpetrators to justice. When past wounds reopen, Drew has to make a difficult choice. Does he get revenge on those who have taken so much from their family, or does he push all the hatred, anger, and pain down to give Marlin, Jay, Nerissa, and his parents the closure they deserve?

(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 2 in the Family Ties Series) "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don't know what's worse: drowning beneath the waves, or dying of thirst." At this point in her life, the above quote basically sums up Faye Mercer. After being diagnosed with depression two years ago, it's all she can do to keep a smile on her face, keep being positive and happy. The demons of her past have kept her beneath the waves for months now, hardly allowing her to breathe. From nightmares to insomnia, she can't seem to catch a break. Her reputation as a Siren has thrust her into a spotlight for which she wasn't prepared; to say nothing of her PTSD associated with said reputation. Her parents and brother are doing their best to carry on as normal as possible, but even they have tough days. If it wasn't for Waverly, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It all comes to a head one day when she receives a letter inviting her to a special 'for Sirens only' concert. She hasn't used her voice in years, hasn't even allowed herself to even entertain the thought. Will she be able to keep her head above water, or will she find herself flailing, drowning all over again? Read to find out.Complete
Cursed (mxm)
I was made to serve him. I was made to heed his every beck and call. I was dutiful, obedient, proud of my servitude regardless of what the others thought of me. He was powerful, and he made me powerful, too. It was honorable to be his right hand, to be able to execute his orders to perfection. I thought I had done well in this position. Had anyone asked I would have sworn I exceeded all expectations and fulfilled every request without hesitation or error. I had become an expert in anticipation, of knowing my Master better than I knew myself. So why did he give me away? How could he cast me aside so easily? Was I really so replaceable, so meaningless? He had made me for himself, hadn't he? What other purpose could I possibly have? How was I meant to serve him by serving someone else? -This story has mature themes and depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore, etc. Please read at your own discretion- Highest rankings thanks to all of you wonderful readers! : #2 in "Servitude" #3 in "Servant" #22 in "ManxMan"Secrets Behind Her Lies
