If someone ever asked me how I thought I would die, I would have hedged round the question, maybe smirked at them, because the thought of death in my twenties just seemed too early to dwell on.
I was young and therefore believed I'd have more time in this world before death came knocking on my door. As it turns out, death coming a-knocking isn't too far from reality. Well, mine at least.
Evelyn Lennox's busy, work-orientated life is about to break at the seams when she receives a phone call from an eccentric, wealthy, new client, Nathaniel Argent, asking her to design the living room of his large manor house. She accepts the offer, not realizing the full extent of the deal, nor understanding why Mr Argent's son, Matthew, looks at her so oddly and avoids her like the plague. There are secrets in this house; secrets that only a few months before, she had been so close to discovering. Only she can't remember.
The truth will out.
Evelyn is about to come face to face with death. Literally.

His Secret
Amira Hart was never meant to be part of the story. Not the public one, anyway. But behind every polished legacy is the girl no one talks about-the one who was loved in secret, then left in silence. For two years, Amira and Brooks Whitmore IV lived in that silence. He was the President's son, raised for cameras and campaign trails. She was the woman he chose when no one was watching. Their worlds were never meant to meet. The cards were stacked long before they kissed in the dark. Now, two years later, a wedding invitation arrives. His name is on it. So is hers. Told in fragments and flashbacks, His Secret is a quiet storm of a love story-about memory, erasure, and the women history tries to forget.Complete

In His Grip
He says he'd burn the world for her. She never expected him to mean it. Evelyn thought she knew what danger looked like-cold, sharp, and far away. Not quiet hands brushing her hair behind her ear.

But instead, she finds herself drawn to him-captivated by the way he softens only for her. Until the lies start unraveling. A stalker. A warning. A photo soaked in blood and truth. Now, Evelyn is forced to question everything-how much Damien has protected her... and how much he's destroyed to keep her. But loving a man like him comes at a cost. And she's already in too deep to run. "I don't care if you hate me. Just let me hold you while you fall apart." • Obsession doesn't always look like madness-sometimes, it looks like love. • He'd kill to protect her. He already has. • She became his weakness. And he became her ruin. • In his world, love is possession-and she's his favorite sin. (Currently writing and Editing so the story details can change at anytime.
