Even If It Breaks Me
The world ended quietly. Not with fire, not with warning-just silence, and the ruins left behind. Claira never asked to become a fighter. But survival doesn't wait for those who hesitate. Each step forward is heavier than the last, burdened by the memories she refuses to let go of and the people she refuses to stop searching for. Inside the fragile safety of an abandoned school, a group of strangers fights to hold onto something like hope. Outside its fences, the road is endless, broken, and filled with threats that never sleep. And somewhere out there-whether in the ashes, the shadows, or the miles ahead-are the answers Claira can't stop chasing. A story of survival, memory, and the thin line between holding on and letting go.
Restore Me.
In a world gripped by a second Great Depression, where poverty and conflict have torn society apart, Ariella struggles to survive in the midst of a devastating pandemic that has unleashed the undead-crawlers-upon the earth. Haunted by betrayal and heartbreak, Ariella flees her shattered past and stumbles upon a group of survivors hiding in the wreckage of civilization. But trust is a scarce commodity, and the group's wary leader, Jonah finds that Ariella's presence stirs something in him-an unease, a flicker of vulnerability he'd rather keep buried. Desperate to prove her worth and carve out a place in their fragile community, Ariella must navigate a labyrinth of suspicion and old wounds. As she battles the monsters beyond the cave walls-and the ones within her own heart-she finds herself at a crossroads: will she surrender to the darkness of her past, or fight to forge a new identity in the ruins of the world? In this tale of survival, love, and overcoming fears, Ariella's journey will test the boundaries of loyalty, trust, and the true meaning of family in a world where hope is as scarce as a beating heart.Complete

Threads Of Fate
She was never meant to be his wife. She was meant to be his revenge. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence. To her family, the union is protection. To him, it is justice long delayed. Every vow is calculated. Every act of devotion hides a blade. Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.
HOLLOWED
In a world consumed by ruin, Mallory walks the desolate streets with eyes that see more than anyone else ever could. Her ability-an uncanny gift of enhanced sight-is both her greatest weapon and her deepest curse. The world has collapsed, overrun by flesh-eating creatures that lurk in the shadows, waiting to tear apart the remnants of humanity. Driven by desperation, Mallory embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the cure-a whispered remedy said to be humanity's last hope. Every step forward leads her deeper into danger, risking her life and those who dare to follow her. The horrors she faces threaten to break her, yet her vision keeps pushing her onward. But in a cruel twist, the truth unravels too late: the cure she sought was never far-it had been right in front of them all along. Now, survival isn't just about seeing-it's about realizing. Because the most elusive truths are often the ones hidden in plain sight.Complete
