Prologue:
It was raining the night Sophie Langdon died.
Camille Cross remembered the storm like it had branded itself into her bones-the flash of lightning on the living room wall, the muddy water swallowing the sidewalk, the sound of sirens howling louder than the thunder. She remembered running, barefoot and breathless, to the end of Alder Street, screaming her brother's name.
Jacob had been seventeen. She was fifteen.
The whole town remembered the trial. The whispers. The newspaper headlines. The photo of Sophie's lifeless body found in the Cross family basement.
Camille hadn't spoken Jacob's name in years.
Until now.

Pieces Of Us
Kayleen thought love would protect her. Instead, it shattered her. After uncovering the ultimate betrayal-the man she loved secretly building a family behind her back-Kayleen is left broken in a hospital bed, torn between the ruins of her past and the terrifying promise of a future without him. Healing isn't simple... not when love, lies, and lingering scars are tangled so tightly around her heart. Just when she believes her world has ended, an unexpected figure from her past steps in-her uncle. A man she hasn't seen in over ten years suddenly becomes her lifeline, pulling her out of the darkness she thought she'd never escape. With his help, Kayleen begins to piece herself back together, slowly rediscovering the woman she once was... and the strength she thought she'd lost. But her uncle's return isn't without a price. One day, he comes to her-not to offer help, but to ask for it. His request? That Kayleen help a man she's never met. A stranger who has just awoken from a coma. A man deeply important to him... and someone who, like her, has been betrayed by the one he loved. Two broken hearts. One unexpected arrangement. And a chance to turn their pain into something new.
Sunshine After The Rain
Sophie knew her marriage was coming to an end. There had been a heavy weight in the house she shared with her husband and two young children; a quiet she tried her best to ignore. So when Jason sat her down at their dining room table, Sophie was mentally prepared to hear the words that would tear her once happy family apart. What she couldn't prepare herself for was what happened to her life once he walked out the door. Now Sophie must pick up all the broken pieces, and, with the help of an unlikely source, find a little bit of sunlight in the downpour of her broken life.Завершенная история

YOU CAN'T BREAK ME (watty awards 2014 )
PROLOGUE. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. Fifty, fifty one, fifty two, drip. drip. I winced in pain. I lost count of the water drops dripping from the ceiling. What's the time? What's the day? How long have I been here ? I can't remember because I have lost count of the time and days. All I know is that it's been too long. To long that I haven't seen my family or friends. To long that I haven't seen the outdoors. It's been a long time but I can't remember exactly how long I have been in this hell. I can't remember how long I have been in this cold and filthy room with no window. Nothing apart from these damp walls and a dirty mattress on the floor. There is a toilet in the corner. There is no mirror. I can't even remember what I look like anymore. All I have is a worn tattered dirty dress on my body. I have no shoes. "Oh Moon goddess please help me. Please help me or let me die" I cried helplessly. "Anya child speak to me" My wolf Alexandra whimpered. "Alex I can't take much more. I can't take it any longer. He won't even let me die." I sobbed. "I know child but you must stay strong. You are strong Anya and we will make it through this" Alex whispered. "No we won't. He will never let me leave. Never" I cried feeling sorry for myself. Bang. Oh no I thought his back. I heard his foot steps coming down stairs. I tried to move but the pain in my back hadn't healed from the earlier lashing he gave me. His footsteps were getting closer and closer until they stopped outside the door. The bolts were being opened one by one. "Anya I'm sorry. I'm sorry child" my wolf whispered quietly before disappearing into the darkness. The door opened and there he stood in the shadows. It was dark but I could make out his silhouette. I started to tremble in fear knowing what was coming. Here in the shadows stood my mate.Завершенная история
