Each day in the hospital, new details surface. Each night, her nightmares grow sharper, more real. The investigators struggle to separate her trauma from the truth, but the more they question her, the deeper the mystery becomes.
Because somewhere between what Liana remembers and what the world can prove, something or someone is still hiding.

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete
VENGEANCE - Everything Hides Something Darker Beneath
Wind howls like a warning, rain whispers secrets against the windows, and the cold nights stretch longer than they should. Even the brightest days begin to dim, as if the sun itself is retreating from something unspeakable. And it's not just the daylight that fades; truth itself begins to rot, sinking slowly into the shadows, buried beneath layers of silence and fear. Arizona's quiet is shattered when the lifeless body of a young, stubborn, and hauntingly beautiful girl is discovered inside her own home. No forced entry. No obvious clues. Just her... and a presence that refuses to leave. A relentless private investigator takes the case, unaware that she's stepping into something far more sinister than a simple crime. The deeper she digs, the more twisted and terrifying the discoveries become. Whispers in the dark. Eyes watching. A pattern soaked in blood and secrets. Each clue pulls her further from the world she knew; and closer to something ancient, vile, and waiting. What was supposed to be a straightforward investigation becomes a descent into horror. A nightmare she cannot wake from. A truth she may never survive. Now, she turns to you, the reader, not for help, but for company. She dares you to follow her into the dark. But be warned... once you see what she has seen, there is no going back. Brace yourself. The truth doesn't just hide. It haunts.
