“…an emotional read.” Reader review ★★★★★
Kristin Murphy doesn’t like change.
When a lavish lifestyle and controlling marriage left her broken, she traded the pressures of perfection for her sanity. Today, her southern farmhouse can’t compare to the mansion she left, but her family has peace. Until she’s blindsided.
The fog lifts, and she’s separated from two daughters she swore to protect. An ill child relies on Kristin’s medical skills, while luxurious promises lure her teen out of reach. Fighting to remain relevant to them wasn’t something she prepared for, but she’s here now.
It’s a familiar psychological hell. Only this time, the stakes are higher.
Can Kristin return to being the mother she always wanted, or will she give in to a twisted family past she vowed to bury?

Karolina eases her loneliness in a fantasy world of internet chat rooms with strangers while Filip remains blind to her pain.

In 1867, Eden Fitzgerald marries, not for love or money, but to persuade her influential in-laws to obtain her father’s release from a contrived prison sentence. Cleverly evading those who believe she, like her father, is a smuggler and Fenian collaborator, Eden does what she can, what she must to achieve her goal. When legal methods are exhausted, she dons a mask, carries a pistol and, using her wiles, wits, even her seductive beauty, robs wealthy citizens to amass enough money to arrange her father’s escape.
Her life grows ever more complicated by the lustful attentions of several men who profess to love her, and the one man she loves but dares not trust. As her crimes worsen, culminating in what may be treason, and her enemies grow more dangerous and determined to apprehend her, she must run for her own freedom.
She is the most beautiful, desirable woman Richard has ever seen. He’s been starved for love for years, immersed in high finance for a drug lord. He is immediately smitten.
But she is an addict and is only a shadow of herself. Still, he is transfixed by her. So, he must protect her, risk his life for her, in this drug-induced land of Caligula.
She makes him want to be a better man. She intrigues and challenges him to rise above his forgotten morality and to change his expedient, selfish ways if he wants to hang with her.
For the first time, Richard has a true “why” in his life and her name is Hailey.
Get ready for a slow burn romance sprinkled with the cold, hard truth of a late 1980s Uptown Manhattan violent drug scene.
But how will they navigate the daily dangers and savagery of the world they occupy and still plan their way out alive? Will they end up together on the other side?
So If you would love to read New Jack City meets Casablanca, the story begins! Read on!
