"He wants to hear her scream. She's trained to record silence."
Ember Montgomery is a court reporter - precise, guarded, and invisible in a courtroom full of monsters. She's survived more than the cases she transcribes... and she's made peace with staying in the background. Until Killian Stone walks in.
He's the most feared defense attorney in New York - brilliant, brutal, and merciless in and out of court. But when his next high-profile case puts him face to face with Ember, he doesn't just want to win.
He wants her.
Obsessed. Possessive. Dangerous. Killian sees through Ember's silence - and he's determined to pull every secret out of her mouth, one moan at a time.
But Ember has secrets she'd die to protect.
And Killian never plays fair.

In His Grip
He says he'd burn the world for her. She never expected him to mean it. Evelyn thought she knew what danger looked like-cold, sharp, and far away. Not quiet hands brushing her hair behind her ear. Not a voice that could break her with one whisper. Damien Blackwell is power, secrets, and obsession wrapped in a tailored suit. Everyone fears him. She should, too. But instead, she finds herself drawn to him-captivated by the way he softens only for her. Until the lies start unraveling. A stalker. A warning. A photo soaked in blood and truth. Now, Evelyn is forced to question everything-how much Damien has protected her... and how much he's destroyed to keep her. But loving a man like him comes at a cost. And she's already in too deep to run. "I don't care if you hate me. Just let me hold you while you fall apart." • Obsession doesn't always look like madness-sometimes, it looks like love. • He'd kill to protect her. He already has. • She became his weakness. And he became her ruin. • In his world, love is possession-and she's his favorite sin. (Currently writing and Editing so the story details can change at anytime.

The Court of Bees
"Justice, desire, and obsession-some lines aren't meant to stay uncrossed." Debra Rowe is a sharp, no-nonsense detective with a rising reputation and a tightly guarded heart. She's spent her career chasing criminals, not romance-especially not the kind that looks like her sweet, soft-spoken childhood friend who reappeared in her life a little too handsome and far too charming. Kyle Merrin, the city's young federal prosecutor, is all wide-eyed warmth and loyal smiles on the surface. But behind that boyish face is a man who's spent years orchestrating every step to get closer to her again. And he's not above using every tool in his arsenal-logic, law, or longing. When they're thrown together on a high-stakes drug case, lines blur fast. Between midnight stakeouts, whispered teasing, close calls, and stolen touches, Debra begins to realize she may not always be the one in control. But Kyle's not just falling in love-he's playing the long game. And if anyone thinks they can take her from him, they'll learn just how dangerous a devoted man with a perfect memory and a lawyer's power can be. A story of slow-burning obsession, tactical tenderness, and the quiet unraveling of boundaries between two people who were never meant to stay apart.Complete

The Laws of Stalking
WARNING: Contains mature content for 18+ audience. *** Fear isn't enough for Keir Blackstone. He wants to own her, to slip under her skin and take root, to make sure she never breathes without whispering his name in the dark. Seraphine Aldridge is perfection. Composed, brilliant, and untouchable, she moves through life like a queen among pawns. Threats don't shake her. She's faced ruthless prosecutors, greedy corporations, and men who think power belongs to them. Until him- her stalker. He doesn't want her to run; he wants her to know she can't. That no matter where she goes, she will always be his. Every step, every breath, every terrified gasp already belongs to him. So, she listens to fear for the first time and hires a bodyguard. Keir Blackstone is the perfect choice-silent, lethal, dangerous in all the right ways. Just not in the way she expects. There's something about him that unsettles her. The way he looks at her. The way he seems to know her every move before she makes it. The way he seems more interested in her than in keeping her safe. The way his presence feels less like protection and more like possession. And when she looks at him, she swears she sees something familiar. Little does she know, she just hired the very monster she's trying to escape.
Melancholy
Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.Complete
Tainted hearts
Sofia has spent her life surviving-weathering the kind of pain that leaves invisible scars and a hollow ache behind the ribs. A childhood soaked in fear. Nights filled with silence and slammed doors.

She thought this would be a new beginning. A place for her and her brother to build a new life, to heal, to breathe. Until Lucas appeared in her life. Ruthless, untouchable, and terrifyingly brilliant, Lucas Lockhart rules the university from the shadows-his power unspoken, his presence a storm no one dares to challenge. Cold ocean eyes. Sharp tongue that speaks in threats and poetry. Mind like a blade. Hands that destroy and protect with the same terrifying ease. The moment he sees Sofia, something shifts. She doesn't know it, but she's trespassed into dangerous territory. She thinks she escaped the worst. But the devil wears a tailored suit in Harvard Law School-and he's already decided. She is his.
