The chaos of saving lives, the relentless loss, and the weight of her own grief have pushed Laney to the edge. After years of enduring the emotional cost of a job that asks too much, she reaches her breaking point and walks away.
When the offer to leave the trauma of the hospital behind, Laney first believes it's the fresh start she needs. But the deeper she falls into the company, the more she realizes it's anything but legitimate. The sleek facade hides a dangerous underworld, and it's not long before Laney's paranoia sets in.
The darkest truths don't stay buried forever. As Laney navigates the treacherous underbelly of Marlowe City. She begins to connect the dots, recognizing patterns and symbols from a world as old as the city itself.
In a city built on secrets, the line between survival and complicity is razor-thin - and Laney Shaw is about to find out just how much she's willing to risk.

The Boneyard Murders
Summary: In the small, forgotten town of Boneyard Hollow, the past is buried deep beneath the soil, alongside the bones of the town's original settlers. For decades, the town has been steeped in myth and legend, but all of that is about to be shattered when a series of gruesome murders start to surface. Detective Lana Greene, an outsider and recently transferred to the local precinct, quickly realizes there's more to these killings than meets the eye. The victims are all tied to the town's long-forgotten cemetery-Boneyard, a burial ground known for the mysterious disappearances that have plagued the area over the years. Each crime scene reveals twisted symbols and artifacts scattered around the bodies, all suggesting something darker than human malice at work. Lana teams up with Thomas Gray, a cryptic local historian with deep knowledge of the town's haunted past. As they dig deeper into the murders, they uncover chilling connections to ancient rituals, a secret society, and restless spirits that never truly left Boneyard Hollow. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the town becomes. Someone-or something-will stop at nothing to keep the secrets buried in the boneyard, and Lana must decide whether to confront the darkness, or leave before it consumes her.Complete

A Scalpel Between Us
You're finally living the dream as a fresh surgical technician at the prestigious Halcyon Ridge Medical Center, where the gowns are sterile, the surgeons are hot, and the operating tables are murder scenes waiting to happen. Your first day? You nearly faint during a bowel resection, accidentally flirt with your assigned trauma surgeon, Dr. Elias Maddox, and then watch a patient mysteriously flatline mid-operation under the scalpel of Dr. Marcus Vale, who smiles like he's seen the inside of a freezer truck.....recently. As bodies pile up and nobody seems concerned, it's up to you (and Nurse Didi, your chaos-loving ride-or-die) to uncover the truth. The deeper you cut into the hospital's secrets, the more twisted they become and the more your heart inconveniently attaches to Elias, the one man you probably shouldn't trust in a building full of scalpels and lies. Equal parts comedy, romance, and blood-soaked suspense, A Scalpel Between Us is your front-row seat to falling in love in the worst possible place. The middle of a medical murder mystery.Complete
