In Progress
Aurora never imagined that Arden would become anything more than a fleeting encounter. But as their weekly meet-ups turned into something deeper, she found herself falling for him, even as doubts crept into her mind. Was he truly the guy she thought he was, or just another player?
What began as innocent texting soon spirals into a rollercoaster of emotions, and Aurora's heart begins to break when she discovers Arden's true intentions: he only wants one thing. Refusing to give in, Aurora cuts ties, but the pain of their broken connection lingers far longer than she expected.
Months of reckless choices and self-doubt follow, but when August arrives, Aurora takes a bold step-inviting Arden back into her life for one final confrontation. The night unfolds in unexpected ways, leading to a kiss that could change everything... or destroy what's left of her heart.
But the night takes a darker turn when Arden's actions lead to a chaotic confrontation with security, police, and an uncertain future. Now Aurora is torn between love, betrayal, and self-discovery, questioning everything she thought she knew about herself and about him.

Scorpio
A desert-town math whiz meets an ambidextrous artist, a Scorpio... in the wake of a best friend's death, two white envelopes that freak people out, and a diamond pearl that might be LSD. In the outskirts of Las Vegas, freshman Aurora (a.k.a. Ari) takes refuge in calculus and probability problems to escape the demons of her painful past. Math was what the prestigious prep school Staglight Academy had recruited her for-her, a girl from the wrong side of the train tracks. Plus, numbers are logical; math makes sense. This predictable world built on immutable mathematical theorems doesn't plague you with chronic insomnia, doesn't let Katrina-your best friend-die, and definitely doesn't hurl a tornado through the middle of the Mohave. But a desert cyclone is exactly how their twin escapes begin-Ari, running from the horrors that have chased her throughout time, and Xanexa, running from the horrors that have chased xyr across the universe. They run until they meet, when Ari comes face-to-face with xyr, an amazing artist whose sketches are so real they could come to life. From that initial encounter, she begins to discover the dangerous, life-threatening truths that had been buried with Katrina. Under an increasingly constricting web of manipulation and deceit that imperil Ari and those around her, those truths resurface with the ones about herself that had been buried beneath the sands of time-truths that are wholly irrational, just like art-- --and pi, a number xe shows her the end to, even though it is real, irrational, natural, and never-ending.Complete
FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY {BAD MEETS BADDEST}
She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally.

And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior.

When another man tries to steal his girl, all his demons come home to roost as he struggles to let Astrid make her own choices in love. Keeping her from discovering how dark his taste can become impossible when all he wants is to keep her pleading his name-either in ecstasy or pain. Calder comes from a family demanding he always remain perfectly golden. Meeting Astrid unbalanced his life, falling for her sweet smiles and genuine interest in him, not just his wealth. Remy was not a threat because he trusted Astrid to make her own decisions in love and life. Lies unravel, bets are made, and violence ensues, drawing all three together in a way no one expected but one twisted individual in the shadows taunting their happiness with promised spilled blood. *WARNING INTENDED FOR 18 AND OLDER READERS.
