night terrors
A Standalone Dark Thriller Romance
She can't trust her own memories, and now she has to trust the dangerous stranger holding the key to her past.
For as long as she can remember, Blaire Barlowe has lived by two rules: carefully control every aspect of her life, and never let her guard down. As a high-flying marketing executive climbing the corporate ladder, she’s built a meticulous, safe existence. But that safety is about to shatter.
Plagued by brutal, hyper-realistic nightmares of murder and a mind carved up by missing years of memory, Blaire is rapidly losing her grip. When a late-night home invasion turns her worst paranoia into a deadly reality, she’s forced to run for her life into the city’s darkest underbelly.
Enter Winder, a dangerous, tattooed street dealer with piercing blue eyes, a razor-sharp edge, and an unnerving habit of knowing her name before they've even formally met. Winder is cold and full of secrets, but as the threats close in, he is the only thing standing between her and total destruction.
With her dream life on the line, and a killer tracking her every move, Blaire must untangle the lies buried deep in her own brain. But as the line between her waking life and her bloody dreams begins to blur, she has to ask herself a terrifying question: Is she running from a killer, or something much worse?

The Labyrinth
A Dark Monster Romance
The monster king was supposed to treat her like any other prisoner, but her existence became his absolute obsession.
In a world left shattered by ecological collapse and extreme weather, monstrous predators rule the fortified cities, forcing surviving humans to struggle in poverty and dust outside the walls. Rissa, a resilient and fiercely protective woman, spends her days collecting scrap metal just to keep her mother, younger sister, and brothers alive. But her precarious survival strategy shatters the moment she finds a valuable silver ring in a debris pile near the forbidden Labyrinth gates.
She had no way of knowing the ring belonged to Ten, a powerful, purple-skinned monster leader tasked with enforcing the Labyrinth's strict perimeter rules. When Ten tracks the stolen relic straight to Rissa’s family home, she makes the ultimate sacrifice, and agrees to leave with Ten as his captive to keep the rest of her family safe.
Escorted deep into the Labyrinth, Rissa confronts a horrifying truth. She has been brought to a breeding camp designed to produce half-human children for the monsters' ruthless faction wars. As she navigates her new reality and lays plans for an eventual escape, she finds herself ensnared in a dark, volatile dynamic with her captor.
