"Don't close the book."
That's the last message Elias Ward received before everything fell apart.
As a crime journalist chasing stories of death, Elias never expected one to chase him back. But when a mysterious novel predicts each new murder - and a detective with too many secrets gets involved - Elias finds himself trapped between obsession and madness.
Every page takes him closer to the truth.
Every word drags him deeper into the dark.
And some stories aren't meant to end.

The Quiet Outside
Desperate to meet a looming deadline, writer Elias retreats alone to a snowbound mountain cabin. No internet. No distractions. Just time. Quiet. And the woods. But isolation plays tricks. Strange sounds echo from the trees. Shadows move where nothing should. Pages appear on his laptop that he doesn't remember writing. And out past the tree line, something is watching. As the snow deepens and the days blur, Elias's grip on reality begins to slip. The forest isn't empty. The silence isn't safe. And whatever lives out there-it doesn't want him to leave. The Quiet Outside asks: "What happens when the only voice you can trust is your own... and even that lies?"Complete

Aamani Lalowa was born in the shadows of New Orleans. A gorgeous woman who fought her way out of violence and abandonment to become one of Manhattan's most promising prosecutors. Archie "Archibald" Walker was born into New York power. Old money, elite education, and a reputation as the city's most feared criminal defense attorney. Charming in public. Psychologically unhinged in private. A master manipulator. Their lives collide in one of the most televised, nationally explosive cases New York has ever seen, and the clash sparks something far darker than rivalry. A dangerous attraction. Twisted interest. But only on one side. Because while Aamani tries to keep her distance, Archie becomes intensely-dangerously-obsessed. An infatuation that evolves into a dark romance with no intention of ever letting her go. Not in this life. Not in any. He is not a good man. And when Aamani realizes she has crossed her moral lines and fallen directly into his trap, she faces a truth far more terrifying than the case itself: Archie Walker doesn't want justice. He wants her. Completely. Possessively. In the most darkest primal way... Surviving him may cost her everything-even her life. β’ α΄ α΄α΄Κα΄ α΄κ° α΄ α΄α΄Ι΄ α΄‘Κα΄ α΄ α΄α΄κ±Ι΄'α΄ κ°α΄ΚΚ ΙͺΙ΄ Κα΄α΄ α΄-Κα΄ α΄Κα΄Ιͺα΄κ±, α΄α΄Ι΄κ±α΄α΄α΄κ±, α΄Ι΄α΄ α΄ α΄κ±α΄Κα΄Κκ±.

But when Josiah's vow to never fall again collides with Ani'Dae's quiet temptation, the spark between them becomes impossible to ignore. Every look lingers too long. Every touch feels like betrayal.
