Church

2022

The last time I spoke was eight years ago when my best friend tried to kill me. I never dreamed my silence would break with a scream. Being sent to Chapel Crest after my new stepfather deemed me a heathen seemed like a blessing compared to staying with him and my mom. I was a mute demon in his eyes, and when the rod didn’t beat the evil out of me, he prayed Chapel Crest could. I envisioned the religious academy would become my sanctuary. I was wrong. So very wrong. Chapel Crest was an asylum moonlighting as a religious school. It's where the meds take out the demons in your head or the punishments from the staff will. If this place and its rules didn’t break me, Dante Church and his cult of bullies would. They called themselves the Watchers. They were dark and ruthless—everything a girl like me should avoid. But maybe something was wrong with me because the thought of being on my knees for the four devils appeals to me. Even if it meant I was praying for survival. Going to Church took on a whole new meaning at Chapel Crest. Church is book one of The Boys of Chapel Crest. It’s a dark bully romance with four guys chasing one girl. There is no choosing. Only begging. And lots of praying. Please read the foreword.

Bells

2023

Before I found a love I was willing to die for, I had to survive one I had to kill for. Chapel Crest wasn’t a place of solace. It was made for suffering. I would know. I’d been locked inside ever since my mother tossed me away like I didn't matter. In my suffering though, I found her. Isabella. The girl who made me believe I mattered. The girl I gave everything to. The girl I loved. The girl I would do anything for, even kill for. Or just plain kill. Because you don’t betray a watcher and live to tell about it. This is the prequel to Chapel Crest and is best read AFTER book one. It tells the tale of Sin and Isabella through multiple POVs before Sirena. This is a dark tale of greed, deception, and all things that hurt. Please read the foreword.

Ashes

2023

Chapel Crest isn't for the weak. It's for those who wish to watch the world reduced to ashes and screams. The Watchers went too far. Locking me up with the monster who tried to kill me eight years ago wasn't the way to win my heart. It was the way to break it. When Seth comes to collect on the bet he made with the Watchers, I know I'm in for a world of hurt. Because Seth Cain isn't the nice boy I once knew. He's a demon in this asylum from hell. And if he finds out the Watchers have already claimed me, he could very well finish what he started all those years ago. To make matters worse, I'm the target of more than just the cruelty of the Watchers and Seth. There are worse things lurking in the dark at Chapel Crest, and I don't know if I can overcome all of it. None of this is about my sanity. It's about my survival. Ashes is a dark asylum academy romance with multiple love interests and a girl who will never choose. Everyone is a little crazy at Chapel Crest.

Stitches

2023

Some secrets should not be kept. They should be screamed. I have a secret. In fact, I have many. Most of them could get me killed, so my silence is the golden ticket to survival in this asylum from hell. But my watchers don’t like it when I’m silent. They like when I scream. When I beg. When I’m a bad girl who tells the things I shouldn’t. Maybe this time I’ll let it all out. Divulge the ugly truths and cast light on the real monsters living in our world. Maybe my secrets will save me this time. They’d have to because once my watchers find out, they’ll want to finish off the job my first secret started all those years ago. Chapel Crest isn’t the place where love blooms and dreams come true. It’s where the love is violent and unpredictable. It’s where the monsters grin from the shadows and where promises are deadly. Chapel Crest is where screams are made. My screams. The Boys of Chapel Crest is a dark asylum academy romance with multiple love interests, no choosing, and a heroine who is mute.

Sinful book cover

Sinful

2024

I was not without sin. I carried my name for a reason. Screwing things up was just part of who I was. Sometimes people got hurt because of me. Sometimes they died. After being exiled from the world I’d created with my best friends, I was left to punish myself for my sins against the girl they loved. The sins I spent hours begging whatever entity was out there to forgive me for. But maybe I wasn’t supposed to be forgiven. Maybe I was who I was because I was meant for something bigger than me. Maybe I was always meant for her. The girl with the colorful eyes who never spoke. The girl I’d been fighting my heart on since I’d set eyes on her all those months ago. I feared she’d hurt me. Break me. But maybe I’d been wrong. Maybe she was the one who’d been sent to save me. I just needed to figure out how to get her to stop being afraid of the man I was and see me for the man I was becoming. But I was a sinner, and I would sin again. In her name, all things were possible. This much I knew. Amen. Sinful is book 5 in The Boys of Chapel Crest. This is not a standalone and must be read in order. This is a dark romance with no choosing. Check author’s note for more information on warnings.

Shadow

2025

Sometimes the wrong side could be the right side. My father never loved me. I was never good enough for him because I was different. My differences made me vulnerable to his cruelty, and a mistake I made brought a deeper level of hell into my life. When my curiosity got the better of me one night, it ended with me being forced out of the world I’d learned to exist in before I was thrust into another. This new world is darker and more dangerous. It’s filled with lies, deceit, and pain. I have rules I live by now because the wicked walk these halls. 1\) Never underestimate the level of a monster’s depravity. 2\) Never take anything at face value. 3\) Fight, always, even if you’re doing it from the shadows. 4\) Remember everything…Because they will, and they will use it against you. If I have to play the twisted games at Chapel Crest, I will. For now. They just need to understand, the darkness comes for us all, and I’m the king of it. Shadow is book 4\.5 in The Boys of Chapel Crest and should be read after Sinful. Please check author’s note for warnings.
