She wasn't supposed to be a threat. Until she looked a soldier in the eyes and smirked.
A.E.G.I.S. was built to handle the impossible-superpowered operatives, covert missions, end-of-the-world-level threats. What they weren't prepared for was her. Katerina Hawthorn. Quiet. Untrained. And supposedly harmless.
Brought in under the guise of recruitment, Kate is hiding a secret that could get her killed-or worse. The men hunting her aren't interested in mercy. They want her power, and they'll tear through the world to get it.
Enter Kai Mercer. Battle-hardened. All scars and silence and a bionic arm that's saved more lives than it's broken bones (but just barely). He doesn't want a rookie on his team. Especially not one who talks back, fights dirty, and makes his pulse skip for all the wrong reasons.
The team doesn't know what Kate really is.
She doesn't know who she can trust.
And Kai? He just wants to survive her.
But when her secrets start to unravel-and the body count rises-A.E.G.I.S. will have to decide if she's a weapon worth wielding...
...or the spark that burns them all down.

Valor
This book is available on Kindle/KU !!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJHFMW3Q I thought I knew what I wanted from this life. That is until I met the Valor brothers and it turned my world upside down. I kill for a living, something familiar to the brothers as they navigate their own illicit company in this industry. They've made a name for themselves, but that doesn't mean I can get close. I've disentangled my life from the work I do and getting involved with them is something I can't risk. When the stakes get too high will that still hold true? Will I finally give into the feelings that I'm pushing deep down? Will the brothers let me into their lives? Its a clusterfuck of problems, but I better figure it out before my demons take over completely. He's coming for me and as much as I want to push these brothers away, they might just end up being my salvation. Either that or my demise... Lilah: The Assassin, The Avoidant, The Addiction Maverick: The Leader. Mav's sole responsibility is keeping his brothers safe. It's all he cares about and he will do anything to make that possible, even if it means denying the woman he wants. Onyx: The Mask. Onyx is closed off to everyone in the world except his brothers. To everyone else he is a sceptic, but he keeps everything close to his heart. Can he really trust her? Dame: The Pretty Boy. Dame is all jokes and smiles, a puppy at one point then a guard dog the next. When he loves, he loves hard. Kai: The Pyschopath. Kai thrives off blood and pain--nothing can satiate him the way those do. No one can handle his moods or his needs. Can she?Concluida
Project NOVA
No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.
The Shadow Girl
"Take the small one, she isn't human." Another officer came over and started to take her from my arms. She let go in shock but I grabbed her arm and I tugged back but I didn't want to hurt her. "No!" I yelled ...................... "Katerina!" She yelled "Anna!" I screamed I screamed her name as I woke up covered in sweat, I was panting and out of breath. I sat up and looked all around me. My room was dark and all that was on was my radio. I had this dream almost every night since I was taken away from Anna. This dream was real, it did happen.

K
The snow never forgets. That's the first thing they learned when they found her- half-dead, half-shadow, and entirely silent. She wore a scar like a warning. She had no name... or too many. And her eyes? Storm-grey. Unbothered. Unblinking. Unforgiving. They chained her. Whipped her. Tried to break her open like a confession. She smiled instead. They said she was a terrorist. A spy. A ghost. No one knew the truth. But when word spread that he was coming- The Director. The Ghost Hunter. Even the storm outside quieted. Because some stories aren't just secrets. They're scars with a heartbeat. And this one? It started with a girl on her knees... and ends when they both stop breathing.Concluida
Alliance of Shadows
Kai leaned against the rough stone wall, every muscle coiled like a spring. The faint sound of Selene's labored breathing filled the cave, a fragile counterpoint to the howls and whispers of the forest beyond. This wasn't how the night was supposed to go. He was a wolf, bound to his pack, and she was a vampire, bound to her own bloody legacy. Yet here they were, trapped by circumstance and a fragile thread of trust. His golden eyes flicked toward her as she stirred in her restless sleep. She looked so small and frail now, a stark contrast to the dangerous predator she should have been. Her earlier words gnawed at his thoughts: They're coming. For all of you. Whoever "they" were, they had pushed her to the brink and were bold enough to hunt on wolf territory. That wasn't just bold-it was suicidal. Vampires and werewolves had been at odds for centuries, their clashes bloody and unforgiving. Yet Selene had chosen to warn him, even at the cost of her own safety. The faintest trace of unfamiliar scents wafted into the cave, and Kai's wolf stirred beneath his skin, its growl rumbling low in his chest. His claws extended reflexively, but he forced himself to hold his ground. Patience. Caution. He'd need both if they were going to survive this night. For now, Selene slept fitfully, her pale face illuminated by the silver glow of the moon filtering through the cracks in the cave's ceiling. She was both a mystery and a danger-a broken enemy with secrets that could change everything. Kai sat in the darkness, the weight of the night pressing down on him as his thoughts churned. The alliance of shadows forming between them was unspoken, tenuous, and fraught with risk. And yet, he couldn't deny it: something bigger than either of them was unfolding, and for better or worse, they were in it together.Concluida

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers.

Beneath These Waves
🌊 Amber leaned in, her lips grazing his. "Have you ever noticed how I always win?" "You said that earlier." "Mmhm." She rubbed his tip against her clit. "Because I take what I want." She started to sit on him-just the tip. Klayton's hands flew to her waist, trying to pull her down. But she froze. "Not yet," she whispered. "You don't deserve this whole thing yet." He growled low. "You playin' with me." She smirked, rolling her hips again, teasing his head with her folds. "You got too much dick to not get played with." ___________________________ After losing her mother to a long, painful battle with dementia, Amber Embers boards a cruise ship in search of peace, solitude, and a way to breathe again.
