What some of my beta readers said...
Wow! You've got a thriller with a level of horrific reality here.
You take the reader inside a perverted serial killer's head and an innocent woman whose life has been ripped from her and whose present season of recovery is being trespassed. You describe the love of an adoring niece for her mourning auntie and this connects the reader to the prologue and adds another level of emotion to this already captivating plot.
What a book!

I have to say 'wow' because your writing style is so picturesque. You show a every detail to plainly. I was captured right away.
The showing is real and to telling, which is a top virtue in any real book.
The main character Stephanie has a sassy attitude underneath all of the hurt. Her story is heart breaking and so deep I felt her agony.
This is a worthy read.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

However, in a tragic twist of fate, she loses her own memory in an accident. Once the master of the human mind, she now faces the impossible - relying on others to save her. As she spirals into despair, the realization hits: only she could have saved herself. The story unfolds over 12 chapters, blending psychological thriller elements with romance.

The narrative then shifts to a prequel, showcasing her meteoric rise to becoming the best in her field, performing groundbreaking surgeries. But her promising career is abruptly halted by a devastating accident, robbing her of her memories. As her condition deteriorates, a less-renowned male doctor defies the warnings of his peers to perform a high-risk surgery on her. Ridiculed for daring to take such a bold step, he perseveres - and succeeds. Over the course of several weeks, the surgeon begins to regain her memory. Upon learning that her life was saved by a relatively unknown doctor, her gratitude evolves into admiration, and soon, love. They marry and become a formidable duo in the medical world, achieving both personal and professional success. Their lives seem idyllic, especially with the arrival of their child. However, just when everything seems perfect, the husband dies under mysterious circumstances. The shocking death shatters her happiness, turning her world upside down.

FRACTURED: A Broken Series Companion Novel (Damaged, Book 4) (PREVIEW) by arwileauthor
7 parts Complete Mature
They thought they had everything figured out, but the one thing they didn't plan for was me. ​​"A gripping, fast-paced novel that will keep you guessing until the very end." ONE MINUTE AND TEN SECONDS... Without life. Without a heartbeat. Without breath. Without thought. That's how long I was able to abandon my heartache before the doctors were able to revive me. I know I should've been thankful for the miracle because not many people get to experience death and live to tell about it. Yet, as I lied in a sterile hospital room, reliving the moment I became a martyr for the woman who no longer wanted me, who returned her heart to the hands of my best friend, my heart felt the weight of some brutal truths...I'd lost my girl, my mobility, and my life. I failed to swallow this bitter pill of my new reality and was left alone to wallow in what could've been. I took it out on the people unlucky enough to have to care for me-including the beautiful blonde with chocolate brown eyes, wearing scrubs and a smile that helped me forget the pain that put me there. But I left her ten months ago, and I didn't expect to see her again. At the same mall. About thirty feet away. With a man's arm wrapped around her neck, restraining her. And he's not alone. His men have taken everyone hostage, he's holding her for ransom, and no one is getting out alive unless I risk it all again. ____________ Fractured is the first book in a three-book series of companion novels for the Broken series. Each book can be read as a standalone, though if you plan to read the Broken series, it would be best to read Fractured after the trilogy. PLEASE NOTE: This book contains sensitive subject matter. If you are affected by triggers or have experienced serious trauma, it may not be for you. Not recommended for persons under 18 years of age.
His Wife by paynechristianson
6 parts Ongoing
NOTE: This is only a preview of my novel His Wife which is sold on Amazon in all formats. The link to the full novel and my other novels is in my bio. For years, Evangeline has been married to Joseph Vanderbilt who has always been the perfect depiction of a husband while she was his wonderful obedient wife who would give in to his control. Out in public, he'd always go around with a smile on his face and a loving arm around Evangeline. But behind closed doors, no one really knew how impossible it was for Evangeline to be his wife, not even Evangeline until it was too late. She didn't realize it was too late until she saw the dead body in her husband's trunk, and he confessed that his real name was Eugene. After that, Evangeline has been fighting for her survival every day while also trying to escape him. However, he's made it almost impossible by tying her to the bed every night and constantly keeping her by his side. He confessed that all the precautions were because he loved her and wanted to keep her in his life, but the more she tried to escape, the more he began to show his true colors and start abusing her. He'd tie her up for hours or beat her as he pleased and would even bring his family members into it. After a while, Evangeline realized that time was very limited when she discovered a secret cellar and a secret even darker inside it below their cozy home. After she discovered the hidden room, Eugene would start locking her in it for days at a time with the possibility of never letting her out again. It only gets worse when he and his cousin make threats to mutilate her if she ever tries to escape again, which only gives her one last chance to get out while she can and get it right.

Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks.​ ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.
