Shadows of duty
Through the fog
Beneath the Ashes
Newly stationed in Germany, U.S. Army MP Danny Grey is used to structure, sacrifice, and silence. His wife, Jackie, a brilliant aspiring doctor from Florida, is anything but. She's fiercely intelligent, driven, and quietly unraveling in a foreign country she never asked to call home. As their marriage strains under the weight of distance-emotional and literal-Danny buries himself in duty while Jackie tries to forge a future of her own.
But when a suspicious on-base incident threatens Danny's career and puts Jackie in the crosshairs of an Army cover-up, the couple is pulled into a world of secrets, divided loyalties, and moral gray zones. Their love is tested not just by personal ambition, but by a military system where truth can be as dangerous as betrayal.
Can their marriage survive when both are forced to choose between what's right... and what's safe?

The fairy tale part one
. In a world where magic lurks beneath the surface of society, Bella has always believed her life was ordinary-until the man she trusted most, Arian, reveals a shocking truth. The man she loved, her husband, the father of her son, has been hiding a dangerous secret: he is not who he seems. And now, their lives are unraveling faster than they can keep up. Arian, a man of mystery and darkness, has been living a double life, bound to an ancient and dangerous order known only as *The Covenant*. When Bella's son begins to display extraordinary powers, Bella realizes that her family is at the heart of a centuries-old battle for control over an ancient magic that could tip the balance between light and dark. As secrets unfold, Bella discovers that her son is the key to unlocking a magical source-one so powerful that it could change the world. With Arian's true allegiance now clear, Bella finds herself torn between love and survival, trust and betrayal. She must fight not only for her son's safety but for her own sanity as she learns that her family is part of a much darker plot than she could ever have imagined. The stakes are higher than ever, and every choice Bella makes leads her deeper into a world of lies, deception, and ancient forces she doesn't fully understand. With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Bella and Arian must navigate treacherous alliances, escape deadly enemies, and uncover the truth behind her son's powers before it's too late. As the forces of magic converge and the battle for control of the world intensifies, Bella faces the hardest decision of her life: will she let her son keep the power that could destroy them all, or sever the connection that links him to a force older than time itself The truth is more dangerous than she ever feared. The clock is ticking, and Bella's world is about to change forever.Concluida

As Long As She Lives (full published version!)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.Concluida
FIRELINE: Book 2
Sequel to Bound to Honor In war, trust is fragile. In betrayal, it burns. After surviving an ambush that tore Unit Nine apart from the inside, Lieutenant Colonel Rhys Callan is left picking up the pieces-and burying the man he once called brother. The traitor is dead. But the enemy isn't. And the questions Carter left behind run deeper than blood. Sent home on mandatory leave, the team scatters. Some heal. Some drink. Some disappear. Major Cecelia Livingston doesn't have that luxury. Still recovering from the last mission-and from being used as a hostage in Carter's final act-she's barely holding it together. The base is quiet. Too quiet. And Callan is keeping his distance. Again. But the silence doesn't last. Encrypted messages. Unexplained surveillance. A buried file Carter never had clearance for. Something is still moving behind the curtain-and all signs point to a larger, darker force pulling the strings. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, Cecelia and Callan find themselves drawn back into the fire. The tension between them has never burned hotter-but trust comes slow when the last one you gave it to held you at gunpoint. The line between command and connection is razor-thin. And someone is waiting for them to cross it.Concluida
