I watch her closely with my gun aimed at her heart, ready to pull the trigger and get the job done. My finger lands on the trigger and my body freezes as she turns, the light of her bedroom window going to black. "Luckily, darling, I missed my chance... this time," I whispered into the cold night, with a smirk landing on my fair cheeks.

Her Shadows
~ A World Painted Grey: Book 1 ~ Already incapacitated, I drag his limp body toward the smoking car. Fastening him back into his seat, seatbelt back in place. Then I grip his skull with my glove-clad hands and ram his head into the steering wheel. Over and over and over again. Eventually the breathing stops, and his weakened pulse slows to a halt. Dead in my hands I throw his head against the wheel once more. Reaching past his limp body, I grab the manila folder. For a moment I watch his corpse. Supposing I should feel even a twinge of guilt. But I never do. Not anymore. Instead, with no feeling in my cold heart, I turn my back to him and walk away. The car bursting into flames behind me. ~~~ Raised a trained killer, Amelia finds herself sneaking through the shadows, thriving in the darkness, living in a world of grey.

All Yours
"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Complete
Enchanted
She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."Complete

Avery Caine thought she was just another orphan with a quiet life-until the brutal murder of her guardian shatters everything she knows. Now, hunted and tangled in a past she doesn't remember, she has only one choice: trust him. Rick Conrad. Cold. Dangerous. A man with too many demons and not enough patience. He works in the shadows, fueled by vengeance, but when his path collides with Avery's, the last thing he expects is her-defiant, tempting, and completely off-limits. But danger has a way of pulling people together. And sometimes, the line between hate and desire is razor-thin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥 "Piccola," he murmured, tilting his head slightly. His voice was smooth-dangerous in the way it sent a shiver down my spine. "Even when I've warned you a million times about rolling your eyes at me... you still make the same mistake." My throat dried. He leaned in, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear. His next words were a slow, deliberate whisper. "Or maybe..." His fingers trailed up my arm, featherlight. "You do it on purpose." I swallowed hard. "Maybe you want to make the same mistake again and again... just to be punished." My breath hitched. I bit my lip, and the moment I did, his gaze dropped-straight to my mouth. Something in his eyes flickered. Darkened. Before I could even think, his lips crashed against mine-hard, demanding, leaving no room for hesitation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried, Avery and Rick must decide-survive apart or burn together. One thing's for sure. They were never meant to fall in love. But it's far too late for that.Complete
