Innocent Salvation

2022

Sabine ‘Snow’ Goubert grew up thinking that all families were like hers. She had a mother who’d abandoned her for the sake of her political career, and a father who’d taught her that deception was love. Then she meets the operatives of Shadow Elite and is drawn into a team that would give her the family and values she craved. Finding out she shares a niece with the cold and ruthless Judge Alexander is a blessing and a curse. As a highly respected judge, Sebastian Alexander has it all—a niece he adores, a job he loves, and more money than he’ll ever be able to spend. But his handsome façade and perfect life hides a terrible secret. Appointed guardian of his six-year-old niece when her mother dies, he vows to uncover the truth about her death and the lies told by the people who should have loved her. When he hires a beautiful nanny to take care of his charge, he thinks his life will get easier, but with every look that passes between him and his new employee, he knows the need to possess her and see if she tastes as good as she looks is a losing battle. As she goes undercover to get to know her niece, she soon realises that the truth is never simple, and Sebastian isn’t as evil as she thought he was. Instead, he’s a sexy devil she can’t resist. As secrets and lies are exposed and people start to die around them, the only way for them to face the past is to confront the present and have the courage to rush headlong into the future.

Fighting Salvation

2023

All he'd ever wanted was peace, but how can you find peace when your soul is nothing but ash and darkness? There was a reason they called him Bás it meant death in his native tongue, and it was apt because everywhere he went, death followed him like a plague. Turning his back on the life he craved, Bás leaned into his nature, making a life for himself in the shadows. Pushing the brutal murder of his family to the back of his mind and with the help of his lifelong friend, he escaped the jail cell where he had been locked like an animal for a crime he didn't commit. Now though, it was time exact vengeance on the man who had ruined his life and taken every shred of hope he had.

A man who thought his soul so tarnished by his past that it would never shine again. When Bás' past begins to hunt him, he knows he is close to the answers he seeks, but when those evil intentions turn to the only pure thing in his life he knows the only way to rescue the woman he loves and secure her future is to unleash the beast within; even if it is the thing that drives her away for good.
