Vance Harmon never planned on being anyone's protector. As a homicide detective with a strange and secret gift-visions that let him relive the final moments of a crime-he's spent years buried in other people's tragedies, pushing everyone away to keep himself sane.
But everything changes the day he finds her: a tiny, silent girl stealing from a store, she doesn't trust anyone. And yet, somehow, Vance can't walk away.
Taking her in is a decision made in a heartbeat-but learning how to care for a child is something else entirely. Vance is awkward, lost, and afraid of doing more harm than good. Still, day by day, crayon by crayon, something begins to grow between them. A fragile connection. A second chance.
As Vance tries to solve the mysteries surrounding her past and protect her from the dangers that still linger, he'll have to confront his own-because healing might come in unexpected ways, and family doesn't always look the way he thought it would.

COGNITIVE BIAS
She doesn't carry a badge. Just the truth everyone else misses. When a triple homicide confounds Metro PD, intern Nova Reyes stumbles onto the case-and rewrites the narrative in under twenty minutes. The crime wasn't a random break-in. It was a perfectly calculated manipulation of perception, buried beneath layers of misdirection. And Nova saw right through it. Armed with an eidetic memory, a background in neuroscience, and a mind trained to untangle patterns others can't even see, Nova is pulled into the world of criminal investigation. But she's not chasing obvious suspects. She's tracing thought errors-the invisible flaws in logic that lead people to kill. But for every case Nova solves, her own mystery deepens. Whispers from her past surface. An unsolved crime she's tried to forget claws its way back. Because the most dangerous patterns aren't just found in others. Sometimes... they live inside you.Complete

Verity City is drowning in neon and smoke. Theaters rot, radios whisper lies, and every alley hides a face you almost recognize. Reese Calder thought he'd left detective work behind-until a cassette lands on his doorstep. On it: a murder told in his own voice. By morning, the body is real. Each new tape drags Reese deeper into a nightmare: streets that shift, faces that vanish, a city editing itself like film. His reflection flickers in old projectors. His voice bleeds through dead air. And someone is scripting his life-one that always ends in blood. The question isn't who's guilty. It's who's real. A razor-edged noir mystery, where déjà vu kills and every broadcast could be the last. ( Thank you for reading! This story is part of a completed series I've written, so you can enjoy it from start to finish. I hope you get lost in it as much as I did while writing. Enjoy! :)Complete
