Alice thought she was just another tired New Yorker on the subway. Until one blink dropped her into another life-married to Shane Carter, the ex she swore she'd left behind, with a little girl calling her Mom. The city outside is the same, but everything else has changed. And in the glow of an abandoned arcade, the words flash across the screen: Insert Coin to Begin.
Now Alice is slipping between two realities-one where she's alone, one where she has everything she ever wanted. But every choice feels like part of a game, and games don't let you win without taking something first.

TWISTED PROMISES (Twisted Path Book 2
When love is all you have left to lose... how do you let it go? I should've known better than to fall for Shane Montgomery. He's rich, revered, and bound to a legacy that was never meant to include a girl like me. A girl born of shadows, shaped by secrets, and marked by a past that's forever tainted me. But Shane didn't care. With that cocky smile and relentless charm, he slipped past every wall I built and made promises I was desperate to believe. We said we'd hold on. That no matter how far apart life-or our families-pulled us, we'd always find our way back to each other. But forever is a fragile thing in a world ruled by power and privilege. A world built on lies and secrets, by people who would rather see us shattered than together and happy. Now everything we had is teetering on the edge of ruin-our love, our dreams, and something even more precious... something we never imagined we'd lose. They warned us we wouldn't last. And maybe they were right. Because the deeper the betrayal, the harder the truth cuts. Not all promises are meant to be kept. And love, no matter how true, isn't always enough. In this gripping second installment of the Twisted Path Series, loyalty is tested, love is torn at the seams, and two broken souls must decide if holding on is worth the pain.
