In the idyllic village of Aidensfield, where cobblestone streets wind through picturesque landscapes, PC Louise Adams thought she understood the rhythms of life-until shadows descended, casting doubts on everything she believed.

When a sinister force leaves Louise bloodied and disoriented, she uncovers more than the aftermath of an attack. Secrets pulse through Aidensfield like an undercurrent, and the quiet village conceals a darkness that threatens to consume all in its path.

As Louise unravels the mystery, she finds herself entangled not just in a web of deceit but also in a forbidden affair with PC Wetherby. Their clandestine relationship adds another layer to the intricate tapestry of Aidensfield's secrets. With every stolen moment, the stakes rise, and the thin blue line blurs as loyalty is tested.

PC Wetherby, grappling with his own concealed truths, becomes an unexpected ally in the quest for justice. Together, they navigate the treacherous terrain of hidden desires and buried scandals. The village's whispers grow louder, revealing a community teetering on the edge of revelation.

In Aidensfield, where every gaze hides a secret and every touch holds a promise, Louise Adams must confront not only the shadows that threaten her but also the forbidden passion that entwines her fate with PC Wetherby's. Will their love survive the secrets, or will the village's dark heart shatter the thin line between desire and duty?

Chicago Beat - London Heart [ Antonio Dawson ] by SpectralInk
33 parts Ongoing
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.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.
