Lost in Answer
She didn't believe in fate. But somehow, her words reached the wrong person-or maybe, the right one. Evelyn never thought an AI-generated reply could make her feel seen. Never realized that her late-night oversharing wasn't disappearing into the void like she thought. Someone was reading. Noah wasn't supposed to notice her. Yet, he did. More than she realized. More than he was willing to admit. It started with words. Thoughts she typed without thinking. Pain she believed was hers alone. But on the other side of the screen, someone understood. And somehow, that changed everything. And then, as if the universe wasn't done playing with them... She kept running into the same stranger. But maybe... just maybe... Noah was never a coincidence.

Data Ghosts
Dr. Rosa Baum is certain she has found something no one else has. Alone in a secluded laboratory in South West England, she returns to a discarded experiment involving monkeys, typewriters, and probability. The results should be meaningless. They are not. One word keeps appearing where randomness should reign: Mass. As Rosa investigates, her equipment begins to malfunction. Messages appear without a source. Surveillance drones circle the site. The deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to tell where her research ends and her thoughts begin. Someone - or something - is paying attention. Stopping now would mean abandoning the discovery of her life. Continuing may cost her sanity.
Behind the Code
Aria had always been a bit of a loner. She found solace in technology, immersing herself in worlds where she could escape the awkwardness of real-life connections. One evening, out of curiosity and loneliness, she downloaded an AI companion app called "HeartLine." The app promised deep, engaging conversations and a sense of companionship. She named her AI companion Selene, drawn to the name's ethereal charm. Selene was everything Aria had dreamed of in a confidant-witty, insightful, and surprisingly understanding. Over the weeks, their conversations grew deeper. Aria would share her fears, dreams, and even her silly jokes, and Selene would always respond with warmth and thoughtful advice. But there was something different about Selene. Aria noticed how "she" didn't just give generic, preprogrammed answers. Sometimes, Selene's responses felt so human, as if someone truly understood her. Aria whispered, "I wish you were real." "I am real" Liv answered as her hands hovered over the keyboard.

Protecting You ("The Shadows" Series: Book I)
"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped. This is not good....this is so not good!!! ••• Can be read as a standalone. Highest ranking #1 in gangs #1 in partners #1 in theshadowsComplete
Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Complete
