A Thousand Tomorrows
" The only thing that kept me sane all those years was your precious smile that was etched on my mind. " The whisper of these words echoed through the dingy corridor along with a soft chuckle. " Although your face became just a blurry memory with time, that precious smile of yours with little sharp canine teeth never faded away! " >> << Nova Morgan-a bold spirit cloaked in sunlit laughter. An equestrian prodigy and die-hard sports fanatic, she's the kind of girl who fills rooms with energy and heart. But behind her radiant smile lies a soul carved by longing. For years, Nova has carried the weight of a memory-a boy with stormy eyes and a heart that once matched hers beat for beat.

But Reeve isn't the boy she once knew. And nothing about their world has remained the same.
Creeping Yellows
Derek McKenzie, a thriving businessman who is about to finalize the biggest deal in his life, stumbles into a night he will never escape. It all starts with the mysterious phone calls, with the unexpected rain, his drunken hands behind the steering wheel, and the little girl dressed in white sitting in the backseat of a red sedan before him.

And if they are not enough, Derek is reminded by his estranged friend Richard of a secret they buried ten years ago, one that tore their lives apart. With the haunting visions, Derek is seemingly transported to his childhood some three decades ago, and his friendship with the new girl in town, Hailee Miles. His childhood with Hailee, his adulthood with Liz, and the haunting girl in white in the middle of the road-they all seem to come to Derek, as ONE TERRIFYING TRUTH! But how? That is what you (the readers) are yet to know.
FINDING MY KING (p1)
Finding My King Part 1 of book 1 in the Crown Collection. INTRODUCTION I've spent the last eight years of my life in pain. Pain that should've brought me to my knees, with a big fat "Screw-you world, I'm outta here!" Still, I refused to give up. Never did I want to be that weak, pitiful woman I was with him. Our relationship (If you can even call it that) became toxic. I knew it was, but I didn't see this one coming. No, that's a lie. It was totally his style. It didn't surprise me at all. I lost so much confidence because of him, so finding love again was a complete no-no for me. I couldn't allow anybody else in after living with the devil himself. I couldn't trust anybody, aside from my family and my best friend. But never did I imagine my life going this way, and because of it, I lost all hope of ever finding love again. Living with all that destruction almost destroyed me. Of course, I knew he was bad, but I never thought he would ruin my life. He knew how important my dreams were, and still, he destroyed everything. Crazily, I knew it was his jealousy that made him do it. I've never in my life met anybody so green-eyed before. It was all about control, and I'd had enough. Since then, it's taken a long time to get my life back on track. Yet just when I thought it was clear to move forward, I was hit with more drama. Can I survive it, or will the devil himself come back and destroy my happiness forever? Christ, I hope not.
Rewind: The Third Son
The law hates him. Criminals fear him. Someone wants to be him. Three-quarters of humanity have evolved into superpowered beings bound by a genetic killing barrier. They are the Dominants, incapable of murder. The rest are Recessives: ordinary, unprotected, and fully capable of killing. Gabriel is one of them. Fresh out of prison after serving seven years for murder, all Gabriel wants is to go home, reunite with his family, and leave violence behind. But when a serial killer begins terrorizing the city, his own sister calls him a psycho, and a stalker known only as R escalates their twisted game from the shadows, Gabriel realizes something far worse than being hunted: Someone wants him to keep killing. Forced back into the role everyone despises - a killer, Gabriel must decide whether to abandon the one skill he was born for or embrace it on his own terms. As he tries to rebuild his life among the capital's elite: college halls, glittering social circles, heirs of power, he's drawn to a woman who hides more than she reveals, and to a truth more dangerous than any crime: Monsters don't always look like criminals. And criminals don't always look like monsters. As the line between justice and cruelty blurs, Gabriel faces a choice he can't escape: Cling to his humanity and be destroyed by the monsters around him, or fight back and become one himself. A man branded a killer, trying desperately to live. He survived juvie. He survived prison. Living might be harder. A story about power, guilt, and the fragile connections that hold a broken man together, or tear him apart.Complete

When a strange message popped up on Iris's phone, she didn't expect a link to a game that would change her life forever. Trapped in a neon-lit world with no exit button, she finds herself surrounded by other players, people she has never met before, all of whom seem just as lonely and lost as she is. But this game isn't like any other she's played before. There is no score, and there are no winners. Instead, the system gives them quiet, deeply personal quests that force them to talk, trust, and confront the things they've been running from. The more they open up, the closer they get to logging out, because the game's true purpose was never for entertainment, but to save them. The only problem was that Iris had already made up her mind about being alive. Prompt: 60. You download a new app that promises to cure your boredom, and it delivers far more than you ever expected.Complete
