𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete
The Medium
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.Complete
