Blood and Honor
I never questioned the life I was living. A rising ballerina. A penthouse overlooking New York. A powerful, wealthy father, and Kayce. My brother, my best friend. It started with a stranger in the shadows. A man who watched me from across the street, vanishing the moment I looked his way. Something about him felt familiar, like fate pulling us together. And then the cracks began to show. A masquerade ball cloaked in secrets. Whispers of betrayal. My brother's sudden disappearance, and the devastating truth that shattered everything I thought I knew. Now, nothing was safe. Not my family. Not the world I trusted. Not even my heart. There were secrets buried beneath the glittering surface of my life. And that mysterious man in the shadows? He may be the only one who could help me uncover the truth, even if trusting him changed everything. In a world ruled by Blood and Honor, trust is the deadliest choice of all.Complete
Becoming Her Dark Side
They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
Unveilded by the Depths
(formerly published as Still Waters hide the deepest secrets) I've always known two things: I'm not normal, and my mother is evil. As in actual evil. The kind of person who makes strangers cross the street and whisper prayers under their breath. All I want is to survive high school-and her. Keep my head down, turn eighteen, and finally get out. Freedom was supposed to be simple. But nothing in my life ever turns out simple. Just down the road, past the places I thought I knew by heart, there's another world-one I never imagined existed. A world with a father I'd been told was dead. A world that wants to claim me as much as my mother does. Now I'm stuck in the middle of a tug-of-war between two lives, two homes... and maybe even two hearts. And the worst part? The more I uncover about who I really am, the more I realize high school might have been the safest place I'll ever know.Complete
