She was meant to say I do.
Instead, she showed up at the police station - drenched in rain, her red bridal dress torn and streaked with mud.
"I don't love him," she whispered.
"And if I marry him... I'll die."
Detective Reid Lawson thought he'd seen everything - until that night.
But hours after she walked into his station, the bride vanished.
Three days later, her body was found.
Every fingerprint. Every trace of evidence. Every clue... leads back to him.
As the case spirals out of control, Reid begins to hear her voice - soft, familiar, haunting.
Now he doesn't know what's real anymore.
Is he going mad?
Is his mind turning against him - or has someone set him up for her murder?
He has to find the truth before the whispers become screams...
and before he ends up behind bars for a crime he doesn't remember committing.

Her Terrifying Love
While being chased by her abusive boyfriend, Lyla turns the tables, shoving him into the path of an oncoming car.

Instead of finishing her senior year in peace, Lyla is horrified to discover that her dead ex has returned for revenge. This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story. (Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love") Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead." Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned." "We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing." "But maybe he woke up after we left him down there." "Woke up?! His neck was broken." Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this. "I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me." "Who was?!" "Keenan. I swear to God." "No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead." "It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading. He'd been seeing the ghost, too.
