Cut off from the Line, what will Signy Shepherd do when the very people she protects become more dangerous than the threats they're escaping?
Signy Shepherd is settling into her new job as a conductor with the Line, a modern underground railroad, shepherding at-risk women out of peril. When Signy takes Lizzy, a young woman desperate to save her infant son, under her protection, the case appears to be like any other. With a severe winter storm on the horizon, Signy drives Lizzy and her son out of the city. Suddenly, she finds the police hot on their tail, and when Lizzy's erratic behavior propels them into further danger, Signy begins to suspect that her new ward is not the victim she claims to be.
Meanwhile, Signy's PTSD-stricken mentor, Grace, investigates Lizzy's husband. But Lizzy's husband is hiding secrets of his own, and soon Grace finds herself out of her depth. As the treacherous blizzard closes in, the entire operation spirals out of control. Isolated and relying on nothing but her instincts, Signy is confronted with a choice that will force her to risk not only her own life, but those of the people she cares about most.
Expertly plotted and featuring a fiery protagonist, Dark Territory is a taut, high-speed thriller about a young woman who will stop at nothing to save the people she loves.

Until You Break
Summary: She wasn't interested. When she finally did cave, she never meant for it to be more than one night. A fleeting indulgence. A mistake she could forget. But Jake doesn't forget. He doesn't let go. And when she tries to move on, he reminds her- violently, that he won't allow it. What begins as an unsettling fixation spirals into something far darker, something suffocating. He watches her. Follows her. Marks her. She runs, she fights, but the deeper she falls into his madness, the more terrifying the truth becomes. She's starting to crave it, too. Trapped in a brutal game of obsession and power, she faces an impossible choice: destroy him before he destroys her... or surrender to the monster she helped create.

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.Concluida
