Every night, Blaire Barlow wakes up screaming from bloody dreams. By day, she’s a woman losing her grip on reality, her sanity fraying as the nightmares begin to bleed into the waking world. Desperate for a way to quiet the voices in her head, she turns to the shadows she’s so afraid of. Winder is a man built of sharp edges and secrets, a local dealer who rules his corner of the city with a quiet, dangerous intensity. He was supposed to be her last resort—a source for the illegal sedatives that might finally bring her sleep. But Winder isn’t anyone’s hero. Until suddenly he’s the only option she has left. As a very real threat emerges from the city's underbelly, Blaire is forced into the claustrophobic safety of Winder's world, and the tension between them thickens into something more. Something forbidden. Winder knows things about the gaps in Blaire’s memory that he refuses to speak aloud, and the deeper she digs for the truth, the more she realizes that her nightmares might be more than just dreams. In a world where the truth is a moving target, Blaire must decide if the man protecting her is her savior or the very reason behind her nightmares.

And she just stole from the deadliest monster in the city. In the gray dust of a dystopian wasteland, Rissa lives by one rule: feed her family, or die trying. But when she scavenges a relic ring from the restricted zone, she draws the attention of the one creature she was taught to fear. Monster. Ten is the king of the Labyrinth—a brutal, hulking beast who rules the iron-walled fortress through blood and absolute discipline. He didn't come to the wasteland looking for a human woman. He came to reclaim his property. When Ten hauls Rissa into the depths of the Labyrinth, her fate is already sealed. She is a commodity to be broken and sold into the breeding pits to settle her debt. But inside the cold stone walls, the power dynamic shifts. Rissa doesn't cower. She fights. And her defiance ignites a dark, possessive hunger in Ten that threatens the very foundation of his rule. By keeping Rissa for his own pleasure, Ten is breaking the laws of his kind. As their forbidden connection deepens into a game of power and submission, Ten begins to doubt everything he was ever taught about humans. But Ten’s rule is not without conflict, and some monsters have been waiting years to find a weakness. A weakness quickly surfacing in his obsession of Rissa. To survive the rebellion, the King and his thief must decide what’s worth more: the crown he wears, or the woman he’s willing to burn his world to keep.

It is NOT a romance. There is NOT a complete HEA. Please be aware before reading. It takes place after Delirium and before Screwed in the Everbound timeline. The ocean is dark and filled with mystery, but it’s not the only thing with secrets. Lucy Sodaro has always wanted to explore the ocean. She never thought it would turn into a career, and definitely not one with her childhood best friend, Tucker, by her side. But now both are marine biologists, living their best life, until Abyss – a private company with murky intentions – offers them the chance of a lifetime. Three months at the bottom of the ocean inside their submarine, the Siren. Lucy and Tucker jump at the opportunity to do what they both love. Explore, with no limits, and all expenses paid. But the childhood best friends aren’t prepared for everything they discover on the ocean floor. Captain Jack might be an experienced submariner, but he doesn’t seem to enjoy women being in his space. And Nathan, the shy navigator, is too busy managing his panic attacks to be much help. Relationships new and old are tested when the journey continues to expose secrets, both about the depths of the sea and the dark desires inside each crew member. The ocean doesn’t discriminate, and when things go awry, the team must set aside personal grievances to survive their mission, regardless of the cost. Because at the bottom of the ocean, the only way out is up. Sunk is a standalone, why choose novel. It is NOT a romance. There is NOT a complete HEA. Please be aware before reading.
