I will be working on this book while rewriting RwB for paperback, so updates might be a little slow, but many readers have asked for a rewrite and I didn't want you guys to wait more years.

The Clone Wars ended only a year ago. Order 66 shattered everything. You and Obi-Wan escaped together-not because you wanted to, but because there was no other choice. At the time, you believed Anakin Skywalker was dead, another casualty of the Empire's rise. Only after arriving on Tatooine did you discover the truth that changed everything. You were pregnant. Not far enough along to have noticed before the war. Not long enough for Anakin to have known. Months later, you gave birth to a son. A child who had never met his father. Obi-Wan helped where he could, but he kept his distance. The child deserved as normal a life as Tatooine could offer. You both stayed hidden, waiting for the day the Empire finally stopped looking. It never did. Now, with your son only a few months old, Imperial patrols sweep across the Outer Rim searching for surviving Jedi. Leading them...is Darth Vader. The galaxy believes Anakin Skywalker died on Mustafar. They are wrong. He survived. His lungs bear faint scars from the fire. One arm has been replaced by polished black durasteel, the same arm Count Dooku took years ago, but the rest of him remains unmistakably Anakin. Older. Harder. Colder. He comes to Tatooine hunting Jedi. He has no idea that the Jedi he has searched for every waking moment...is about to answer the door holding his infant son. He kicks open the door expecting another fugitive Jedi. Instead... Silence. You freeze. He freezes. Then the baby starts crying. That cry changes everything. For the first time in a year, Darth Vader isn't looking at an enemy. He's looking at the woman he buried in his mind to survive...holding a child whose age makes the math impossible to ignore. The baby's only a few months old. The war ended a year ago. He doesn't need anyone to tell him. He knows. And for just a heartbeat...Vader disappears. Anakin comes back.

Darkness Calls Felicity Thorne has always been fascinated by the darkness hidden within European history. As a professor of European studies, she has spent years studying legends, artifacts, and the stories people have carried through generations. She never expected one of those legends to find her. When Felicity meets the mysterious Vladimir Dragomir, there is something about him she cannot explain. Cold, intelligent, and impossibly familiar, Vlad seems to know far more about her than he should. The closer she gets to him, the more Felicity begins to question everything she thought she knew about the past-and about herself. But Vlad carries centuries of secrets, and there are people who would kill to see those secrets buried forever. As an ancient enemy resurfaces and the line between legend and reality begins to disappear, Felicity finds herself caught between the man she loves, the darkness hunting him, and a past that refuses to remain buried. Some secrets are meant to stay hidden. Some loves are worth risking everything for. And sometimes, when the darkness calls, it already knows your name.

In Renaissance Venice, Lucia Bellandi must live as the young painter Luca to pursue the art she loves in a world that refuses women such a calling. When she is commissioned to paint for the Doge's son, an unexpected bond grows between them, until a forgotten sketch and a carnival mask reveal they have met before. Will their love be powerful enough to overcome social norms? Excerpt from Chapter 6: At length, abandoning the hope that memory alone would bridge the distance between them, he turned without another word and crossed to the writing desk, resolved to let the forgotten sketch speak where words had failed. But he stopped before his hand opened the drawer. "Then let us make a pact," he said softly. "I shall guard your secret as faithfully as I would my own honour." His eyes did not leave hers. "Only grant me this in return: remain here a little longer, and paint me-not merely until the portrait is finished, but until you remember the man who once stood before you a long time ago." Excerpt from Chapter 8: "But have I not already painted every likeness you could desire?" He stepped nearer, and Lucia feared he must surely hear the frantic beating of her heart, as though it might burst from her chest. "You are mistaken. You painted a stranger." His gaze remained upon hers. "Then you painted a friend. But today..." He let the words linger between them before continuing, his voice quieter now. "I ask but one last favour of you. Paint not the son of the Doge, nor the gentleman you once knew only from behind a Carnival mask. Paint only the man who stands before you now-the man you can finally see."

He heard her name long before he ever saw her. Every corridor seemed to whisper the same name. Amaya. Everyone knew who she was. Except Kerry. The more he searched for answers, the more mysterious she became. A quiet girl who was rarely seen, yet somehow impossible to ignore. Every answer only led to another question, and every small glimpse pulled him one step closer to a story he never knew he was walking into. She never knew who he was. She never noticed him. To her, Kerry was just another stranger passing through the same school. But life has a strange way of bringing two strangers together. Not through a confession. Not through love at first sight. But through words written on paper... Letters that carried hope, comfort, laughter, and the feelings they could never say aloud. Without ever realizing it, two strangers began changing each other's lives-one letter at a time. Never Confess is a slow-burn romance about missed moments, quiet hearts, unspoken feelings, and the extraordinary bond that can grow between two people who were once complete strangers. Because sometimes... the most beautiful love stories begin long before two hearts ever meet.

What if the person you thought you had forgotten was the one your heart never truly let go of? A decade passed. Life moved on. We found other people. We built lives that no longer had anything to do with each other. Or so I thought. Because some memories don't disappear just because you stop talking about them. Some feelings don't die. They simply learn how to hide. And sometimes, the hardest thing isn't losing someone- it's never knowing why they left. What could have been? Maybe we'll never know. Because we were too afraid to ask, too afraid to reach out, and too afraid to find out that the answer might hurt more than the silence. This is the story of an unfinished chapter, a question that survived a decade, and a heart that still doesn't know whether it is remembering... or hoping.

There are things she remembers without trying, and things she has spent years trying not to. He belongs somewhere in between. She remembers him in pieces, like a book she never got to finish. Some pages worn as time pass by, some words blurred as the ink ages, and an ending she thought would come but never did. Years later, they met again. Strangers with the same old ghosts but carrying different versions of it. Will the sand runs still this time or was it never meant to?

There is a palace that only shines beneath the weeping moon, where a prince lives with a heart full of devotion and a curse that keeps him breathing through centuries of loss. Far away, an artist paints the shape of a love he does not remember, guided only by dreams that feel too real to be imagined. When their worlds touch, will their souls recognize what their minds have forgotten, the warmth, the ache, the promise once made beneath starlight. "But love that has already died once does not return without a price."

|VAST. DARK. The Subconscious Consumes| Jasper has spent his life surviving by weaponizing his own numbness. Known on the streets as Jay and in the system as Zurich, he learned early that connection is weakness, rage is armor, and violence is the only way to stay alive. But when his release lands him face-to-face with Aurea-the girl he loved and lost in the fourth grade-the impenetrable wall he built begins to crack. Then the world cracks with it. While the rest of the world walks blind, Jasper and Aurea are forced to see the impossible: a consuming black ooze, human eyes hollowed into swirling voids, and malevolent entities operating just beneath the surface of everyday life. These forces haven't just been watching. They have been waiting. Waiting for the Beacons to reveal themselves. Waiting to sever humanity's evolution before it can even begin. Forced to confront the horrors of their past, Jasper and Aurea discover their trauma was never random, their reunion was never accidental, and the world they thought they knew is only one layer of a much larger, shifting prison. Now, hunted by a hidden power that has manipulated generations, they must survive a harrowing spiritual evolution to unlock their true abilities before humanity is trapped forever beneath the darkness controlling it.
