The steady beeping of hospital machines plays an obnoxious melody in the background. The drips of rainfall play another tune against the windows. Thunder slams into my chest. The crackling of lightning connects with the earth. Whispers of well-being, health and statements that everything will be okay, are off beat. Each sound is more irritating than the last. My mother's cackle digs into my soul. Lyssa's rage suffocates my aura, engulfing me. Curtis's smile fades with the kindness of his eyes. The prevalence of my certain demise is evident.
I reach out to the only piece of light I can make out in this dim catacomb. The light gets smaller with every blink. My tears create a pool of foul substance at my feet. The sting of who I was just a few months ago attempts to will itself large, bigger, and stronger than what is about to overcome me. My fight is withering. My sense of self is demolished; diminished by trauma and self-loathing.
I reach into the reflection of the mirror I find myself in front of. I am connected with another me. A me I don't recognize. A tug of war ensues. I pull, she pulls, we both lose. An inner soul fight coincides with my reflection. We yell at each other, begging the other to let go with the promise that everything is going to be fine. To trust.
Breathing heavily as I blink myself awake, my heart races and my mouth dries.
In the third book of the MM series, Molly continues her fight to find her way through her pain. The fight seems to be winning while she attempts to heal. College, partying, family, new friends and experiences are altering her sense of reality and how her future will be shaped.

Hate Me Harder
FORBIDDEN ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS Dark, twisted, and heartbreakingly passionate, it's a forbidden love story about enemies with benefits, obsession, revenge, addiction, and a love that refuses to die, even when the world demands it. How can it be wrong if it feels so fucking right? ... And then his mouth was on mine. It wasn't soft. It wasn't careful. It was a collision of teeth, breath, desperation and fucking vodka. My back hit the mirror, the cracked glass rattling as his hands slid up my thighs, gripping, lifting me like I weighed nothing. "Lorenzo-" "Shut up," he rasped against my lips, kissing me harder. "Just - shut up." I clawed at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt. He groaned, the sound vibrating against my mouth, and pressed closer, his hips slotting between my legs as he pinned me to the mirror. Every inch of me screamed to shove him away. Every inch of me burned to pull him closer. His hands were everywhere, spreading over my waist, skimming up my sides, catching my jaw to tilt my head just so as his mouth devoured mine. The cracked mirror dug cold into my back, but the heat of him was a wildfire swallowing me whole. "You hate me, remember?" he muttered against my mouth, biting my bottom lip before sucking it back into a kiss. "I do," I gasped, nails scraping down his arms. "Good," he said darkly, kissing me again, harder this time. "Hate me harder." I did. I kissed him like it was a fight, like it was revenge, like it was the only way to breathe. ... fractured love trilogy #2 [can be read as a standalone]

A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound.

Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale.
