In the black heart of the New Mexico desert, some things aren't meant to be hauled.
Trent Wilson makes his living behind the wheel of a battered '90 Peterbilt, running quiet government loads through the Southwest. No questions asked. No cargo checked.
Until a midnight stop at Exit 39 - a lonely truck stop glowing in a sea of darkness - brings Maria into his life. Ripped jeans. Scuffed sneakers. Haunted eyes. And a warning in a language he doesn't understand.
When an unseen force tears open his trailer on the Arizona line, Trent catches a glimpse of what's inside... and wishes he hadn't. Blood-spattered wood. Medical files. Something sedated, then awake. And now it's loose.
Maria knows the word for what's hunting them Skinwalker. It wants her. And it will run them to the ends of the desert to get her.
Together, they'll cross the empty miles, through cedar groves that hum in the skull and canyons where pale shapes watch from the ridges. The government wants their lost cargo back. The Skinwalkers want blood. Trent and Maria just want to see the sun come up alive.
But in the Land of Enchantment, dawn doesn't always mean safety.

"Mur'ring!" I yelled. "Wake up! Ra'dok got bit by a coyote." Mur'ring sprung to his feet. "Let me see." He inspected the wound with a bad look on his face. "We have to disinfect it." "Yeah okay, whatever just help him he's bleeding out." Mur'ring let go of Ra'dok's leg and turned to me, "you don't have to be an asshole, you asked me," he said. "Help him!" I yelled. Mur'ring walked to the back of the cell and moved a cement block from the wall. He pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. "I was saving this for a special occasion, but given the situation I guess-" "Will you shut the fuck up and help him?!" Mur'ring poured the liquid on the wound. Ra'dok yelled. A guard smacked the door. "Shut the hell up in there!" Mur'ring wrapped some cloth around the wound and Ra'dok stopped bleeding. He let Ra'dok take a few sips of the liquid, which made him gag but sedated him. After a while we all fell asleep. I know it looks like this story is about Japan but it's not.

As long as the barrier held, the world was allowed to forget about the shadowbeasts of legend. Until now. Gale, a young mage-in-training aching to prove herself, is sent on a simple job to handle the purported animal attacks the desert people seem unable to fend off any longer. Believing the tales of shadowbeasts to be superstitious fancy, she expects to encounter nothing more than mirages and whispers on the wind. What she finds is hatred given form and vengeance given flesh, waiting for the moment to strike. The barrier is weakened, wavering, and an ancient enemy is gathering its strength to break free of its eternal prison. Gale must find a way to restore the barrier, or else die in a war millennia in the making.Complete
Stolen Love (A Cartel Romance)
"What is your name?" I asked, staring into her doe-like eyes. Almost immediately her face twisted in horror. Her eyes switched back and forth frantically like an exit would suddenly appear out of thin air. The sides of her lips turned downward like it was taking everything in her not to burst into a sob. Sure, she was scared--that much was expected-- but I could see the anger. I could see she was furious with me. Interesting. I thought to myself. As much as I wanted to explore how far I could push her until she retaliated; time was of the essence right now. I was staring at an unrecognizable girl. A mistake like this will get a lot of people killed. "I asked you a fucking question, didn't I? I don't like repeating myself." I growled as I grabbed her small face in my hand, making her eye shut in pain. "Harley. Harley Anderson," she spat softly like an angered kitten. Harley. I let her name roll over my tongue for a while. Every second that passed made my vision go black with anger. I looked away from her face before releasing the hold I had on her. I felt my jaw clench in anger and my fist flex in readiness as I stared off in the distance, trying to control my anger from making me lash out. However, I couldn't control myself. She is the wrong girl. We have the wrong girl. ------------ Harley Anderson was an average girl with an almost too simple life before being taken by the biggest cartel in New Mexico right in front of her best friend, Avery. Xander Sanchez, the leader of the Riot cartel has nothing else on his agenda besides making his ex-business partner pay for his wrongdoings.

What happens when Harley is taken and forced to work under the boss? Will Harley be able to survive working under this ruthless man?

Revealed - Skinwalker Book 4
Exert: She was barely on her way out again when she stopped dead in her tracks. Sprawled across the mirror directly opposite her were the words: 'Help Me' written in lipstick. It was like something out of a horror movie. Sierra's heart started pounding in her chest as she glanced around for the owner. Everything suddenly became very surreal and she almost felt like she was outside of her body, watching herself. Maybe the message wasn't meant for her? Maybe it was a prank? She wanted to dismiss it like that, but then she noticed the little trinket left on the sink pedestal under the writing. It wasn't a prank - there was just no way that it could all be coincidence! ------------------------- Just when everything seems perfect, Sierra's world gets turned upside down. The worst part is that no matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to fix it. Is it finally time to break down the barriers she's built up inside and let others help her out? Does she even know how to do that? The final instalment in the skinwalker series takes readers on a journey across continents and through life-changing revelations.

The Man In The Poncho
In the blood-red dusk of the dying Wild West, a nameless cowboy rides alone, draped in a dusty poncho, shadowed by legend. He doesn't speak much-but when he does, the world listens. Some say he's a ghost. Others swear he's Death itself, walking the desert with a six-gun beneath his cloak and judgment in his eyes. After a deadly standoff, he spares a highway robber-only to teach him a lesson harsher than any noose. What begins as a tale of vengeance turns into a deeper journey of redemption, betrayal, and the strange friendship between the damned and the divine. Along the way, they cross paths with real outlaws, lost children, preachers with blood on their hands, and old warriors like Sitting Bull. But this isn't just a Western. This is a reckoning. A test of what it means to fall-and to rise again. Because sometimes, even Death gives second chances. But not third.Complete
