ποΈDetective Ryker Viltarin must uncover dark secrets before he loses not only his heart but also his life.ποΈ
You're on your own, far from home
The wind is blowing in the top of the pines
A gloomy sky where the sun never shines
Deep in the woods, where the night is so cold
You're lost, far from home
-Mustash-
Ryker Viltarin, a former soldier and now a private detective, is asked for help by an old comrade: He has to find his ex-wife, who has kidnapped their child because of their impending divorce. At first, this sounded like an easy case for Viltarin.
The search for the missing leads the investigator to the sleepy little town of Silvershore on Everbreeze Lake in Canada.
When he moves into the small guesthouse Pineview Cottage, Ryker is convinced that he has found an unscrupulous child abductor. But why does this impression change more and more the closer he gets to her? Why does every step toward the truth raise more questions than answers? And what is the significance of the mysterious key that suddenly ends up in Evelyn's possession?
Will Ryker succeed in saving Evelyn and Liam, or will they also fall victim to the killer from Everbreeze Lake?
ποΈ "Taking You Home" is a romantic and gripping mystery-drama story about love, betrayal, and the shadows of the past that must be overcome to finally understand the true meaning of happiness. ποΈ

The Vampire and The Ghost | βοΈ
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

LAW OF ATTRACTION
Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction. I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction. Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him. He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire. But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him. He screams Danger. He is Danger. Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more? Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible. I always play it safe and follow the rules. I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school. Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together. People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together... Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion? Warning for strong language and mentions, and some steam in the chapters.... ;) _______________________________________ Ranked #1 in #TeenFiction on May 20, 2020, and June 26, 2022 Featured in Wattpad BadassReads' The Badass King reading list THE FALL AWARDS 2021 (ContemporaryLit) Winner of Ambassadors Picks in Romance WRITER'S GLORY AWARDS 1st Place Winner in Teen Fiction PHOENIX AWARDS 2019 Winner of People Review in Romance THE CUPID AWARDS VALENTINE'S EDITION Winner of Cupid's favorites THE ATLA AWARDS Winner in RomanceComplete
