In the countryside village of Westbrook, Constable Artemis has just returned from vacation with his daughter, only to learn that there is a new Sherriff in town, of whom has taken an instant disliking to him. But professional rivalry aside, both of them are about to receive some terrible news: the village's farmhouse has been burned down to ashes and twenty year old, David Amell has sadly perished in the flames. For the Sherriff it's a personal blow; as his last case as a detective years ago was dealing with an arsenic which had dismantled his reputation.
Neither of them could believe anyone in Westbrook would ever have harmed David; but as more evidence piles up, with help from DS Morse, it seems to indicate that he had been murdered. The fire was no accident. It's a living nightmare for everyone involved even before the press arrive and start stirring up the secrets every village member keeps hidden behind closed doors.
When gunpowder is found in the basement of the farmhouse, the police begin to wonder if it was an inside job after all. Who would go to so much trouble to burning down an entire farmhouse, just to kill one man? Everything is revealed when Constable Artemis threatens to leave no stone unturned - but will the kidnapping of his daughter distract him from the upcoming battle ahead?

Mischief
- Book #1 of 'Mischief' series - "If only I had just minded my own damn business for once and didn't blow up that stupid drug lab, then I would never have gotten myself into this situation to begin with..." I grumble to myself as I sink a little lower behind the car door with a sigh. It is inevitable, I am going to die. I quickly huddle into a ball as a bullet flies through the window, resulting in the glass shattering down onto my head, "Okay, c'mon guys. That was just bloody rude!" • • • 17 year old Ivy Munroe had no idea what she was getting herself into when she walked into a small, abandoned warehouse owned by the notorious gang leader of 'The Kings', but what she did ended with her being shipped off to a boarding school for troubled youth, and she assumed that would be the end of her trouble. She thought wrong. Someone is chasing her. She's running. It's a fucked-up - but simple - game of hide-and-seek... Or is it? Her roomie isn't who he says he is, and there are factors from his past which could ruin their friendship... Or bring them closer than ever before. • • • ⚠️ MATURE CONTENT ⚠️ - explicit language - graphic and violent moments - steamy scenes 😉 (I will give warnings at the beginning of chapters for the last two, but if these are things that you aren't comfortable reading about, this probably isn't the book for you ❤️)Complete
Untamed
"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequentlyComplete
