Hollow fissure, #4

The well-meaning and meddlesome Mr. and Mrs. Aden want nothing more than to protect their only daughter, Hannah.
After her childhood kidnapping in Somalia and a final showdown in  Italy against the monster responsible, nineteen-year-old Hannah just  wants back the life stolen from her.
She isn’t naïve like her mother believes. Frequent flashes of past  terrors assure her that the healing process is far from over. At the  same time, she’d hardly use her dad’s words and call herself “strong” or  “brave.” That description belongs to Melissa Bennett, the woman who  almost died saving her.


Melissa doesn’t feel much like the hero she’s being hailed.
While she is glad to have saved a life for once, the one she’d  almost taken continues to haunt her dreams and stall her recovery.
Despite her good deed and continuous help from friends and family  abroad and Kyle—the father of her little girl—she knows her days of  freedom are numbered.

ONE MINUTE THERE, #3

RUN…
Two torturous months came and went
Detective Bennett refuses to give up on finding his daughter
Even as the authorities of New England and beyond, trailing the  blood in the girl’s wake, devised a ruthless manhunt to bring her back
Well aware of the young woman’s fragile state, Bennett is determined to locate her first.
And terrified to learn that he and the officers aren’t the only ones looking…
FOR YOUR LIFE…
Tucked in a hideaway past America’s borders, courtesy of her only trusted connect as of late, Melissa is sure she’s safe.
That is until the hammering knocks at her door threaten her world, her sanity…
And her life.
THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY OUT…

the bleeding, #2

Mark My Words…
Derek Warren is smooth, charming, and a master manipulator.
But is he a killer?
I swear…
If so, how is the former businessman committing murder from a maximum-security prison cell?
And what, if anything, does he have planned next?
You'll Never See It Coming…
Detective Stephen Bennett is sure he has the answers to these questions.
But the path of dead bodies leads him to a truth far more disturbing than he suspected…
You Will Bleed...

Black Roses, #5

Love, affection, and affluence define the seemingly close-knit Adler clan.

Though  the family members reside in New England and beyond, patriarch and  successful engineer Rick Adler, with his devoted wife, Kat, see to  it—through lavish parties, fun festivities, and hearty Sunday dinners at  their Barrington, Rhode Island home—that everyone stays linked and in  touch with one another.

One night, all of their happiness is shattered when Rick
Adler dies unexpectedly...

Miles  away in Providence, after closing yet another difficult case, the lives  of Detectives Stephen Bennett and Porscha Councill have begun to  settle, though life-altering changes are at the helm. Bennett and his  wife, Jen, are expecting a new addition and their daughter's return  while Councill mulls over some new developments—one featuring Long Beach  detective Andre Hernandez—and other future possibilities of her own.

Everything  is put on hold when Wayne Jacobs, Rick’s half-brother, accuses the  widowed Kat Adler of murder and personally asks Bennett to get to the  truth behind his brother's demise.

The accusation seems little more than a family squabble.

Until the first body turns up.

Soon, Bennett and Councill find themselves thrust beneath skeletons and scandal.

And digging for their lives.

august to life, #1

 Like mother, like father, like son.   Where the  blood stops? Who knows?                                               
 

                               "You seem cold," a voice says, deep and  masculine, loving toward me.  I shake in my cushioned chair at the bow  of a massive white yacht inscribed with the words Sailor Man Senior on  both sides. It's a beautiful boat as I well know. Too bad I can't enjoy  it much. No matter how many times I've been on this boat, it always  means the same thing: great sex and a hollow apology.
These are the words of a mother of three with a deadly secret. Of three children, one has secrets of his own. Just like his dad…
In August to Life, a former red-head and present mother of three  speaks from solitude. No one understands her, knows her, or her life. No  one but her children, above all her oldest son, Jonathan Warren, a  seventeen-year-old high school football star with a tight lock on his  life and mysteries not even those closest to him could guess. When a  near-fatal accident nearly rips away his life, new classmate, neighbor,  and rescuer Lee Ann Johnson, forces him to challenge everything he had  ever been taught.
