Laney Shaw is a trauma nurse at St. Verena's Hospital in Marlowe City, where the daily grind of life and death takes its toll. 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.All Rights Reserved

Raven's Mark by MaddieMonster21

Raven Vaughn has spent her life hiding in the shadows-first to survive, then to hunt. By day, she runs Ink & Steel, a tattoo shop that keeps her hands busy. By night, those same hands are stained in blood, delivering justice to those who deserve it. She works alone. Always has. Always will. But when three dangerous men step into her world, that certainty begins to unravel. Hayes Knight is all sharp edges and quiet control, a man who sees too much and doesn't flinch at the darkness in her. Theodore Gray is as brilliant as he is perceptive, his kindness hiding a mind just as twisted as her own. Elias Hart? He's all effortless charm and reckless curiosity-the kind of trouble she should avoid. They should be threats. Instead, they make her question everything. Alistair Thorn, the tortured FBI agent who's been investigating Raven for years, has his own dark agenda. Despite being on her case, he's on her side-working with Hayes, Theo, and Elias to cover up the messes Raven creates. But even as they work together, Raven can't escape the ghosts of her past, the secrets that keep her running, and the dangerous games they all play. As past and present collide, secrets unravel, and the hunt turns personal, Raven must decide: keep running from the ghosts that haunt her, or let them in-and risk losing the only thing she's ever known. Some marks never fade. Some wounds never heal. And some names are written in blood.

She grins too freely, drapes herself in bold colors, moves with a confidence that feels almost unfair for someone the world expects to shrink. What most miss is that it's all carefully orchestrated-a dazzling, loud act designed to drown out the soft cracks forming inside her.
