## **BOOK DESCRIPTION - *THE SHADOW IN HER BLOOD***
When **Maprilyn Hale's** mother dies under circumstances no doctor can explain, she refuses to accept the shifting reports and quiet apologies. Something darker clings to the truth-something her family has spent years burying.
As Lyn begins to pull at the threads of her mother's death, she crosses paths with **Asher Morren**, a man whose easy charm never quite matches the cold calculation behind his eyes. He appears when she least expects him, knows things he shouldn't, and watches her with an attention that feels far from casual.
Lyn can't decide whether he's warning her...
guiding her...
or circling her.
But the deeper she digs, the more the shadows begin to move-
and the more Lyn realizes that whatever hunts her bloodline has already noticed her.
Some truths aren't meant to be uncovered.
Some people aren't meant to be trusted.
And darkness always comes home.
---
It's atmospheric, dark, emotional, and sets up the spiritual mystery and prophecy.

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
Shadowbound Hearts
Elara Vance (22) exchanged one prison for another. After years of quiet endurance, the desperate night she fought back and killed her abusive father landed her in Blackwell Penitentiary. Out of place, fragile, and marked by trauma, she craves the anonymity of the stone walls-but anonymity is a luxury Blackwell doesn't afford. The man who truly runs this world of steel and concrete is Asher 'Reyes' Thorne (27). He's an incarcerated crime lord, a kingpin serving multiple life sentences for calculated murders, whose influence flows like a cold current through every cell block. When Asher sees Elara-the quiet, defiant woman with fire in her eyes, jailed for justifiable violence-he doesn't see a victim; he sees a kindred spirit he intends to own. Their relationship begins as a terrifying contract: Asher offers her absolute protection from the brutality of the guards and the cruelty of the inmates. In return, she owes him only her attention. But in the confined, suffocating space of Blackwell, proximity is poison. Their tense, transactional meetings-whispered words across the common room, charged silence in the visiting booths-quickly ignite into a desperate, forbidden need. Elara begins to chip away at the monster, discovering the strategic intelligence and fierce loyalty beneath the calculated darkness. Asher, in turn, finds his iron control shattered by the fragile defiance of the one person he can't truly cage. Shadowbound Hearts is the story of two souls defined by violence, finding dangerous comfort in the one place they are most exposed. In a place where freedom is impossible, they must decide if their forbidden love is the ultimate act of rebellion, or the final, irreversible surrender to the shadows.
Forced To Marry A Gang Leader (COMPLETED)
MUST READ: This book has been written till chapter 42, then the chapter after is an explanation of what I was planning for the ending as I don't have time to update and feel that you guys deserve to know. I'm so sorry for any grammar mistakes as this book was written a while ago, when I was quite young and I don't know what possessed me to name my characters Shadow and London but read at your own risk hehe. Regardless, I've had many messaged about this book so I thought I'll republish it again but like I said it's not the best! "I do." What would you do when you come home after 2 years and you're told you're going to marry a gang leader? London Pierce definitely didn't take it well. Unfortunately she didn't know much about gangs, so when she slaps the most feared gang leader and her future husband. Lets just say he didn't take it well. Shadow Winters hates it when people disrespect him. He's the type who won't think twice before killing you. He's very cocky and might I add has very bad anger issues. Mix him with London, who doesn't take shit from no one, who has terrible anger problems and is not afraid to put up a fight. I don't think it's a good combination. But what will she do when she finds out the real reason for why she was forced to marry Shadow? What will she do when she realizes she's slowly falling for Shadow?Complete
