Callie Jackson is used to family drama. She spent a fair amount of her childhood dining with only her dog, Hambone, while her parents "talked" behind closed doors. With the ink barely dry from her parent's divorce papers, Callie was presented with a new half-sibling, courtesy of her Father's one night stand. This event scandalized her small Indiana town so much that she still gets funny looks from grocery store clerks, even though her little sister is now eight. Now Dad has a new girlfriend, whose daughter is Callie's age and just so happens to rule the school in a dictatorship-like style. Throw her Mom's new boyfriend, a lawyer-who-enjoys-golfing, and his semi-awkward son into the mix, and Callie definitely has a full plate. Despite everything, Callie loves her family, even the members she doesn't share DNA with. But with this much history, there's bound to be secrets. And Callie has a pretty sizable one of her own: she runs one of the most popular and aptly titled blogs on the Internet, Dinners with the Dog. She ends every post with "Anonymous xx," keeping her identity secret from the world. When her Dad starts displaying some shady behavior, and the stress of keeping quiet about her blog starts getting to Callie, she must decide whether she wants to keep her family close and the secrets closer, or if she's willing to gamble with honesty and risk losing it all.

Ruining Sofia
"How could you?" Sofia looked at her husband Hector. "You are overreacting. It's just above you." "I am telling you that a man was... inappropriate to me...he said he wanted to..." Sofia's voice was shaking. "We are all adults here. He has taken a liking to you. Consider yourself lucky. You have no idea where this man can get us. To where this connection can get us..." "I am your wife." Sofia scoffed. "And, I am consenting to this." Hector cut her off. "Hector, don't!" Sofia tried to shut him up, but Hector continued. "It doesn't change anything. Make him happy. He won't be wanting it all the time. He had hundreds of women for him. This will all be over in a month or two. But you can be good friends in the future, and he can be kind to you. And, us! Think where his connections can get us." At first, if Antonio's behavior in the past seemed a problem, now adding her husband's ideas about all this worried Sofia more. It seems the very man she expected to protect her from a predator was ready to throw her to that animal. Sofia recalled how Antonio had always tried to be a gentleman. But there was nothing gentle about his intentions. Only his eyes and direct approach with his words were enough to tell Sofia about it. She could still recall the day when he had told her. "You will warm my bed one day. And, your husband will drive you here that day." At that time, she slapped him, but now it seems he had won. Sofia gulped, looking at Hector. Her Hector couldn't be this blind. It wasn't that simple. She could tell that Antonio had spent a great deal of time brainwashing her husband. Sofia rubbed her cheeks and told her husband off while walking away. "This isn't happening. Not today. Not ever." Sofia accepts a gift card from her neighbor for a spa day. The most mundane day gets her in the way of an obsessive trillionaire, who has only one agenda. If you can't have it, ruin it.Complete

Crimson Vows (Book 1 of Crimson Empire)(Completed)
"We never asked for this. Our lives were written by others, our hearts shackled to a contract neither of us wanted. But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember. The only reason I even tolerated her was because of her brother-my best friend. The one person I thought I could trust... until I learned I was never supposed to be his ally at all. Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.Complete
