All he wanted was a regular job...
Paul Trouble may not hold the most exciting job in the world as a pencil pusher and finance controller in Strom Industries' Mergers and Acquisitions department. But for the former elite soldier and CIA spy, still mentally recovering from the injury that forced him out of the spy-game, this is his shot at a normal life in a normal job with normal problems.
One hundred million dollars missing...
Until his boss asks Paul to investigate the mystery of one hundred million dollars missing. The plan is simple: Ask a few questions, make people nervous, and see what happens.
Turning into a deadly cat and mouse game...
What first looks like an inside job soon turns into murder and mayhem where pencil and stapler are exchanged with knives and bullets, giving a literal meaning to the term "troubleshooter."
Troubleshooter is the first Corporate thriller in the ongoing "Troubleshooter" series. You can find the follow up novels "Troublemaker", "Troubleseeker", and "Pieces of Trouble" in all major formats at most eBook sellers.

Draft • unedited. • • • "And I do love it when a man is at the pointy end of my dagger." I push the blade in more, a sliver of skin parting as red flows between the crevices and blesses the weapon. He only grins wider, "Show no mercy, Angel." He rears up, lips capturing mine and pulling my face closer to his, his hand winding itself around my neck to hold me in place as he draws my whole being into his with only his poisoned tongue and daring words. . . "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." "The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy tomorrow." I counter. • • • They took everything from me. Hunt me. Underestimate me. I have nothing to lose . . . Until he shows up. He is my undoing. The unknown. I can't let him in. • • • He thought I had been broken, consumed in his games. Loyal. At least I was . . . Until I saw her. She is my redemption. She is the job. I have to kill her. • • • Trigger warnings - this book is a lot darker than Alliance and as such deals with descriptions of torture, assault, murder and mention of SA. If this is not for you, feel free to not read. There is some sex scenes throughout this book so please read at your own risk. The main character/s are also very morally grey so if you don't like characters torturing others, this isn't the book for you. • • • Cover by Quirky Circe on Etsy Started writing 09/19 - published 02/20 - finished 03/20.

Unwinding Man
They see an old man. A quiet tito who runs a dusty watch repair shop in Olongapo. They see a man softened by grief, a ghost in plain sight. They see an easy mark. They are dead wrong. Damian Bautista's hands can mend the most delicate timepiece, but they remember a more brutal trade. When a local gang makes the mistake of threatening an innocent girl in his city, they don't just awaken a protector; they reactivate a weapon. A man with the tactical mind of a grandmaster and the lethal efficiency of a predator. His intervention plunges him into a war he never wanted, against a criminal empire with ties to the darkest corners of the government and to the buried secrets of his own past. To survive and deliver justice, he must become the urban legend the underworld whispers about in fear: the Unwinding Man. A phantom who dismantles his enemies' lives, their operations, and their bodies with the same cold, methodical precision he uses to fix a watch. He is a man of order. And he is about to bring the chaos. [Biyayaverse Book 1]Complete
Phoenix
My entire body felt on fire under his intense gaze. I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school. Will the chemistry between them lead to a successful love formula? Or will it all combust? ___________________________________________ #9collegeromance (12/14/2019) #1assassinschool (6/6/2020) #1teammates (26/2/2021) #1spying (9/14/2020) #2russia (9/22/2020) #1boxing (18/3/2021) #4illegal (30/8/2021) #1assassin (11/9/2021)Complete
