Prudence
Author Note: This story is currently being revised for pacing and clarity. Chapters may be updated. Prudence has spent her life surviving quietly in a world that rewards silence. But silence breaks easily. When she is pulled into the orbit of a man she should never have been connected to... By duty, by family, by rules she never agreed to... Everything she has built begins to fracture. Because some choices are not choices at all. And some men do not ask before they change your life. He was never meant to notice her. She was never meant to matter. But she does. And now every step forward comes with a cost. One she may not be able to pay without losing herself in the process. In a world built on reputation, restraint, and consequences, Prudence must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice... Before the decision is made for her. Here's my original Prudence entry in the Wattys 2018. It was incomplete then and only included the first 3 chapters... Someone That I Used to Know By Margaret McIsaac Writing as Mallory Scot Short Description: *Wattys2018 Shortlist* Fleeing a trail of dead suitors, Prudence moves to London where she quickly receives another offer of marriage. But her new suitor is hiding a secret. He's only interested in finding out who's murdering his friends and why. (A Regency Mystery/Thriller with a touch of Romance)Lengkap

Who killed Samantha Michaels? In Valley City, the center of the adult entertainment industry, some lives are worth more than others. The life of a controversial porn star is not worth much. When Samantha Michaels, better known as Samantha Sparkles, was murdered, her case went cold before the investigation had even really begun. The police made no serious effort to investigate, and the people she worked with were only too happy to forget her. Her younger sister Chloe wasn't. So Chloe takes matters into her own hands. Shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she leaves her old life in Oak Springs behind and moves to Valley City to find out who murdered her sister. She infiltrates the industry responsible for her sister's death, willing to do whatever it takes to get close to the untouchable figures who pull the strings from the shadows. To achieve justice for her sister, she is willing to sacrifice her dignity, her innocence, and perhaps even her soul. But what is one more sacrifice in a city built on exploitation? ~ What is Saccharine? A dark and gritty revenge thriller: This is a story about the all-consuming desire for justice in a treacherous neon-lit city and a morally bankrupt industry that's ready to fulfill every desire... except that one.

A slow burn murder mystery: Chloe's investigation into who killed Samantha is the heart of the story. She finds clues, follows leads, questions suspects and sticks her nose into dangerous stuff, discovering an abyss of crime deeper than she ever suspected. ~ A fair warning: There will be some mature content and sexual themes and content in this series. It's not the core of the story, but unavoidable in this setting. If either of these make you uncomfortable, this series might not be for you.

Her wedding day. To his former best friend and band mate, Nyle Wentworth. Nyle has been there for Serenity ever since Tristan left her heart in irrepairable pieces.
