Nineteen-year-old Maeve St. Vincent joins fellow aristocrats in the extravagant Ivory Game after striking a deal with a prince to stop one contestant from winning, but when her target ends up dead at the start of the game, Maeve and other ladies who have secrets of their own must fight for their innocence and their lives before the killer strikes again. *** After being kicked out of Queens University for the third time, aristocrat Maeve St. Vincent has no hope of going back. But when the surly and overbearing Prince Francis of Sutherland approaches her with a deal to enter the infamous Ivory Game where contestants outwit one another to become courtiers in the queen's court, she jumps at the chance, especially when he tells she can return to Queens and that her mission is to stop Claire Braxton from winning. Blythe Vandenberg is desperate to be a courtier to bring honor to her family. But when the game doesn't start well for her, and Claire Braxton ends up dead, she and her cousin Maeve become the center of everyone's suspicion. And when someone mysteriously sends her a message telling her that her dark secret is not so secret anymore, she fears for her reputation--and her life. Will she be able to maintain her composure under the pressure of the game and the watchful eye of her father's assistant, Logan Earle? Scarlett came to the Ivory Game with her mistress, but she also brought with her the woman's secrets. She's not allowed to talk to anyone above her station, but she unexpectedly gets the attention of William Cavendish, Marquess of Claymore, the last person she should associate with. But she cannot escape his charming personality and it might be too late when she finally learns his true reason for getting close to her. As the three ladies navigate a series of murders and mystery inside the Ivory House, their trust and loyalty are tested, and their secrets and motives revealed. Who to trust? Who to avoid? And who to love?

The New World has been the last peaceful and resourceful country for nearly two hundred years. Or at least that's what they say. Samantha Ivory has been living a boring average life in an old town with lots of history. That is, until the news of a carnival coming to town ignites new excitement. This carnival promises a night of fun for everyone. There are games, promising rewards, and food that no one has ever seen or tasted before. But what if this carnival isn't what it seems to be? And who are these people that have come into her town? Can Sam figure it out before it's too late, or will she get stuck playing a game she never wanted to play? (Currently completed as of October 2023, and finished editing as of March 2024) *****Excerpt***** Excerpt: Instead of seeing myself standing in front of me, there is somebody else and it's not my brother or anyone I know. A boy no older than me is just standing there, he is wearing a gray shirt with a hole in the shoulder and it has a handful of stains and dirt spots on it. I immediately know he is not from Treegrass. Not only have I never seen him before in my life but everyone in our town always wears nice clean and washed clothes, therefore nobody should be looking like him. The boy has a small cut on his cheek and is thin, a lot thinner than he should be. I look away from him and around at my surroundings, there is no one else here. I regain my composure and look at him again. That's when he says something that makes my blood run cold. "Run."
