Riley has always felt more comfortable in the pages of a book than in the crowded halls of high school. Quiet, introspective, and fiercely independent, she keeps her distance from the world, preferring to lose herself in fictional realms where she can feel something more than just invisible. But when her mom forces her into choir, Riley's life takes an unexpected turn.
What starts as an unwanted elective becomes the catalyst for changes Riley never anticipated. From navigating the chaotic social scenes at lunch to facing the challenge of singing in front of others, she finds herself in uncharted territory. And then there's Grayson, the boy who's always been there but whose recent, mysterious presence shakes up everything she thought she knew about herself.
As Riley contends with her insecurities, the tug-of-war between self-reliance and connection, and the challenges of being seen for who she truly is, she begins to realize that sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones we never planned to tell.

Fiery Chains , Dark Shadows MC (Book 2)
Chloe has always believed that she can only rely on herself, especially when everyone else always leaves. Relationships mean letting someone in and she's not willing to open herself up to that kind of pain, not without some kind of proof that it will last. When the Dark Shadows MC offers her protection from the danger stalking her, Chloe finds herself stuck with the gruff Road Captain, Hawk. He's silent, rude, uncompromising, and she's positive that he can't stand her...but Chloe also can't deny the way her heart races when he sets his steely gaze on her. Hawk learned early not to trust those who were supposed to care for him, finding solace and family among the brothers of the MC who saved him when he was a teen. Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger lurks in every shadow, Chloe and Hawk must confront their deepest fears and decide if love is worth the risk.
