Sanctuary
2025
The woman of his dreams has a boyfriend.
But he's certain she deserves a better one.
Wendy's plan is finishing beauty school and expanding her client base, maybe even marrying her rockstar boyfriend Jett. No, Jett's not perfect, but he's better than most guys she's dated. Sadly, the European rock festival Jett buys tickets for turns into a nightmare when he abandons Wendy at the airport. Wendy chalks it up to his busy schedule, but things get progressively worse throughout the weekend. Unexpected solace comes from Cruz, the brooding bassist for the scandalous band The Deviant, as undeniable sparks fly between them. Besides, Cruz doesn't hide his attraction well. Four chaotic festival days make Wendy's reality clear–Jett has never cared for her. Torn between the familiar toxicity of her current relationship and the uncertain promise of a new beginning with Cruz, Wendy must continue enduring Jett's abuse or risk it all on hope for something better with Cruz. Or maybe, just maybe, she can find the strength to do it alone. \

Rapture
2019
She is a grieving mother. He is a spoiled rock idol. The only thing they have in common is a flashy tabloid headline. Or so they think. Running away from her tragedies and the demise of her marriage, Hazel Alexander retreats to a friend’s Lake Tahoe cabin with big plans to drown her memories in bottles of wine. Being dragged into someone else’s messy, high-profile divorce is not what she needs. Especially if that someone else is Justice Cross, the frontman of the popular rock band The Deviant. Born into a family of rock royalty, Justice lives his life fast and easy. When he comes across Hazel while at a local bar, his gallant attempt to get her home safely takes a complicated turn. A PR nightmare forcing Justice and Hazel to spend time together triggers unexpected and intense feelings between the two. With the constant attention of fans, haters, and press, now it’s up to Hazel and Justice whether they want to fight for their relationship or end it once and for all.

Deliverance
2021
A famous drummer with time and money to burn. A young artist on the cusp of international stardom. A danger lurking in the shadows. Powerhouse rocker Zander Shaw is The Deviant’s last single man standing. With the band on hiatus, he’s been globe-trotting and spending his hard-earned money on women, extreme sports, and partying. Los Angeles is only supposed to be a pit stop—track drums for infamous metalcore outfit Bleeding Faith and move on. Until a beautiful, mysterious woman gives him a good reason to stick around. Up-and-coming artist Drew Kadence made L.A. her home a few years ago. Almost no one knows she’s on the run from a violent past. But when handsome drummer Zander enters her life and rattles all her defenses, she can’t deny the fact that their chemistry is through the roof. Problem is, she’s not sure she’s ready to dive into a relationship. Especially since her divorce isn’t finalized yet. The more Drew gets to know Zander, the more she’s attracted to him. But Zander’s simple gig unravels his old demons, and Drew’s demons are gaining on her. Now they both have to face their fears. Will love give them the strength to do it together or will they each have to do it alone? \*Deliverance can be read as standalone, but for a more fulfilling experience and to better understand the world of The Deviant, it’s recommended to read Rapture first.
