Four inseparable friends-each carrying their own secret desires and regrets-stumble into a hidden passage beneath their hometown that leads to an underworld: a shifting labyrinth of shadows where the air tastes like memories, the rivers run black, and every corner seems to whisper their deepest fears.
But the underworld is alive. It feeds on longing, on guilt, and most dangerously-on love. The friends find themselves hunted not by monsters alone, but by versions of themselves twisted by obsession and envy

faultline (twisted devotion, #1)
Aurora Kensington has spent years trying to silence the voice in her head-the one that sounds too much like Briar Holloway. The girl who was once her best friend. The girl who came out to her. The girl she pushed away. Now eighteen, Aurora is desperate to prove she's everything she's supposed to be: a good daughter, a devoted Catholic, normal. But no matter how hard she prays, no matter how many rules she follows, she can't shake the feeling that something inside her is broken. And when she sees the lights on in the Holloway house for the first time in years, something deep in her chest stirs. She doesn't know Briar is back. Not until she turns around at a party and finds her standing there. Briar never planned to return to Chapelwood, but with her family drowning in debt and her grandmother's health failing, she had no choice. She tells herself she doesn't care about Aurora anymore-that she only came to this party because she thought it'd be funny. But the second their eyes meet, the past slams into her like a tremor. Old wounds. Old feelings. Ones that never truly faded. Because "love" (if you can call it that) like theirs doesn't disappear. It fractures. It festers. It trembles under the weight of everything unsaid. And if they're not careful, it might just swallow them whole. But none of it truly matters anyway. Not unless Aurora is willing to face the truth about herself. A story about love, sin, and the thin line between devotion and obsession.Complete

Owned by the vampires
When Aurora is dragged into the crumbling mansion of five mysterious brothers, she expects cruelty, punishment-maybe even death. Instead, she finds herself caught in something far more complicated. The brothers are not men at all, but vampires locked in a hidden war against a rival clan intent on destroying mankind. Each one carries a power beyond human comprehension, and each one watches her with a hunger she can't decipher. What begins as captivity slowly twists into something stranger, an uneasy companionship, a dangerous attraction. Aurora is torn between fear and fascination as the brothers reveal pieces of their world: their secrets, their vulnerabilities, and the shadow of a war in which she somehow plays a role. But the mansion is no safe haven. Between enemies lurking in the forest, the weight of her debt, and the storm of feelings she can't control, Aurora must decide whether to fight for her freedom or surrender to the darkness drawing her closer.
