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?

The Story Of Evan Westbrook | MxM
This is not a fairy tale; it's bureaucracy. Family gatherings - We all know them. Some of us love them, some of us hate them, but one thing they have in common is that they are inevitable. Evan Westbrook is the youngest of the Westbrook children, trying to get through yet another 14 days of happy family reunion while trying to avoid his ex-boyfriend, Jonathan, at all costs - with little to no luck. It's the same old story year after year with an ever-growing family, with the two of them gravitating towards each other to add yet another relapse to their collection. This time, they are nothing short of 158 people. Yes, you heard that right. 158 family members. Some were born into the line, some married. Because, you see, this family is special. This family is, by all means, immortal and the Mansion is a host with attitude and opinions. Every gathering is not just a reunion, but a roll call of all the members. Who is still with them, who left, who married, who is expecting children? The ledger of the house needs to record it all. And in the midst of it all, Evan and Jonathan are dancing a forbidden dance while Jonathan's fiancé, Aiden, is helplessly observing from the side. But this year... This year is different. Someone will be hurt. Someone will be torn. And someone will break. This is not a love story; it's a confession.
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

When Night Comes
Inspired by Instagram account: talon.grayson Extract from the book: Inside the cave the scene was still silent. Some lay in sleep within the pool of blood, and not a sleep they would ever awake from. Others sat in silence, utterly defeated from the half day they had spent in that room with Talon and the utter fear he had made them feel when he hunted them all down. A hunter and its prey. They had been put closer together now as well, Talon had deemed that they could talk but they were still separated enough that none was within reaching distance of the other. But they didn't want to talk. Some of them wished it would end already, like M'gann. Some were struggling to keep up their sass, like Artemis. And some were trying to stay in control, not to let their emotions get the better of them because that's the boy they raised doing this god-forsaken things to them. But the control would not last. Everyone knew that at some point the Batman was going to break. And he was going to break the hardest. So they sat there, chained and restrained in their chairs, wearily watching him as silent tears fell to the floor and mixed in with the red of their fallen friends. Jason had been walking for nearly twenty-four hours and his hopes for finding anyone in the cave alive were dwindling with each second. But he had gone and done the noble thing, he had gotten help. Maybe the three of them could stand a chance at beating Talon, maybe they wouldn't. But they had to try, it was the right thing to do. So the trio headed to the cave, not stopping to rest for the night because they could feel the danger in the air, they could tell that this strange boy that had turned up on their doorstep was telling the truth. A truth that could destroy America for good.Complete
