It starts out slow I guess.. I'm still learning! But I think it's picking up!
I am going thru editing so some details will be added in. I'm not sure how I want the story to go yet!

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Every Greek tragedy needs an Antigone or a Danaë. Every King Lear needs a Cordelia. Boardwalk Empire positioned itself as both a Greecian tragedy and Shakespearean, and yet forgot that key player who binds everyone together. Not a Boardwalk fan? Don't worry. If you like damaged heroes, the 1920s, Mafia stories, or tales of World War I? Knowledge of the show isn't necessary. Clara Thompson, like everyone around her, is learning to cope in a post-World War I reality. The reality includes Prohibition, which her father (a dirty politician) sees as a chance to consolidate wealth and power. Her pseudo-brother Jimmy is physically back in Atlantic City, but his soul still seems elsewhere. After her father banishes Jimmy to Chicago, Clara chases after him and meets Richard Harrow, a young vet whose war damage isn't confined to his face. Meanwhile, her father's machinations put everyone's lives in danger and contribute to changing familial ties.Complete
Beneath The Mask - Book 1 of The Ghost Unit Series
He lived in the shadows. She made him take off the mask. She flew to Syria chasing a man who made her feel seen. But when she landed, he wasn't there. Instead, Amaya found herself stranded in a warzone, rescued by Shade, a masked soldier with storm-grey eyes, rough hands, and a touch that burned like sin. Cold, dangerous, and devastatingly commanding, he's nothing like the gentle love she came for... but he's the only thing keeping her alive. Because the man who saved her in the desert has no intention of letting her go. And Amaya is about to learn that some loves are born in darkness... and some obsessions never die. He saved her life. Now he wants to own it.Complete
The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
