Scarlett left Kentucky ten years ago with nothing but a dream-and a heart she never planned to come back for.
Now living in Los Angeles with a successful husband and a life that looks perfect from the outside, she's built everything she thought she wanted. Until one call changes everything.
Her mother is dying.
Forced to return to the small town she once ran from, Scarlett is faced with the past she tried to forget... and the people she left behind.
Including Wyatt-the boy who loved her then, and the man who might still.
But home isn't the same. Old wounds haven't healed. Secrets linger in the silence. And the life she built is beginning to feel like a lie.
As time runs out, Scarlett must decide what matters most:
The life she created...
or the one she never truly let go.
Because sometimes, the hardest journey-
is finding your way back home.

Mayan Moon [ONC2024]
When an orphaned, DACA, pre-med student with a secret gift and a fiery CEO with a legacy to protect are forced into a marriage of inconvenience, the Mayan Moon isn't the only thing causing turmoil. Roger Catzín, a pre-med student with a knack for healing wounds with a whisper and a touch, never imagined his nightly stroll under a blood-red moon would derail his life. But then again, Central Park has a reputation for surprises, and not all of them pleasant. Enter a dramatic old man with a cryptic message, and Roger's life flips from mundane to mystically entangled faster than you can say, Mayan Moon. On the other side of town, or more accurately, on the upscale side of life, Claire Williams navigates the corporate jungle with the grace of a seasoned CEO-a title she earned but now fears losing to the whims of fate, or worse, a grandfather who apparently moonlights as a matchmaker from beyond the grave. When Roger and Claire's worlds collide, courtesy of a will that reads more like a romantic comedy plot than a legal document, they find themselves legally bound in holy matrimony. Who said romance is dead? Mayan Moon is a novella that asks the important questions: Can a man who talks to the moon and a woman who commands the boardroom find common ground? Will they uncover the mystery behind the old man's attack and the secrets Chester Williams hid in his will? And most importantly, can two strangers fake a marriage without killing each other or, dare we say, falling in love? Dive into a story where magic is real, the moon is a guide, and love is... well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Roger and Claire have enough on their plates trying to figure out why fate (or a very eccentric old man) decided they're a match made in legal documentation. Mayan Moon delivers laughs, gasps, and maybe, just maybe, a belief in the magic of the unexpected.

We Are Werewolves
So the usual werewolf story consists of an alpha finding his mate, before they both end up facing some type of tragedy. And then, they have their perfect happily ever after. In the meantime while the Alpha finds his usual innocent but breathtaking mate, it is as if the rest of the pack's lives have been put on hold. I mean as long as the alpha and Luna are living in satisfaction who gives a crap about the people who helped contribute to make sure they're happy. What about the Beta who usually has to drop whatever he has going on to assist the Alpha to protect his mate? What about the members of the pack who are ranked lowest, because of what? Genes? Everyone is designed to have their mate by the moon goddess? No! By God! But when it comes to the Alpha's mate no one else's mate matters. I guess what I'm trying to say is since when did we start playing follow the leader we're not just wolves we are so much more than that we are werewolves. This story is no tale of an Alpha's mate, nor is it about a Beta's mate. It's not your average fictional book. Tell me readers. What happens when you take an Alpha out of an Alpha werewolf story? You're just left with a werewolf's story. Aren't you? (Warning: This Book is unedited. The pictures in the cover do no not belong to me. All rights reserved to the artists who created them.)Complete
