Shadows of the Past follows Yarfa Hartfield as she returns to her family's ancient, mysterious mansion after years of absence. The once grand Hartfield Manor, now crumbling and filled with whispers of its cursed past, holds secrets that have been buried for generations. When she meets Cassian Duskwood, an enigmatic and powerful man who knows more about her family's dark history than he lets on, Yarfa finds herself caught in a dangerous web of betrayal, supernatural forces, and forbidden love. Will she unravel the truth of her family's past, or will she be consumed by the darkness that haunts them?
As Yarfa digs deeper into the manor's chilling secrets, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself and her destiny. But with each step closer to the truth, danger grows, and she must decide who she can trust-and what price she's willing to pay for the truth.

The Medium
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.Complete
