They thought they knew their father.
They were wrong.
When twins Calista and her brother are forced to move in with their estranged mother and her perfect new family, it feels like punishment. Their father, Mike Mercer, has just been arrested for murder, and the whole town is watching. Their mother, now married to the town's mayor, claims she's offering them shelter-but it's clear they're just here to keep up appearances.
The mansion smells like bleach and secrets. The twins are treated like strangers. And the silence around what really happened with their father is deafening.
But memories don't stay buried forever. As flashbacks resurface and truths unravel, they begin to question everything they believed about the man who raised them-and the people who abandoned them.
This isn't just a story about family.
It's about survival, identity, and the terrifying cost of loyalty.
In a house built on lies, how do you know who to trust-even when it's each other?

Blood Never Lies
I woke up from a coma to find my father dead. My "mother"? Not who she claimed to be. And my real life? Stolen before I ever knew it began. Now I'm caught in a war I didn't start, tied to a fortune soaked in secrets, and relying on the one person I shouldn't trust: Brian - the enemy of my enemy... and maybe the only one who sees the real me. But in a world full of lies, how do you know who to fight, and who to fall for?
Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut.

Beyond Me
"𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹." Rosabella was all that a man could be. Complete madness, posted by trauma, vital, determined, hidden emotions , an ego fueled by raging revenge, feared, clever, and aimlessly wanted more than to be tied to a throne. It seems every thing has been based off of lies when her brother comes back from the dead, that immediately being the perfect opportunity for her expanded hope. The one thing that she was more certain about than she had ever been about...was that she would not be rejected by hope. And she would do anything for that goal. By all means, anything.. Keegan just happened to be at the right place at the wrong time. His touch wasn't poisoned like most, although he knew when to be serious, he wasn't. He was driven by compassion, gratitude, dedication, and a promise. Little did she know that she had him wrapped around her finger. Will she take that for granted and only use that towards her goal? Or will she learn to design her heart to make room for love? "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀'𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝘄𝗻."
The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
