You Will Be Mine

2025

You look so peaceful in your sleep. You’re my obsession, my salvation and my destruction as I will be yours. You’re the reason I breathe, the reason I kill. I love you so much that I’ll kill everyone who has ever hurt you, anyone who will ever touch you again, darling. I used to think villains only existed in books. That was before I married one. Before the bruises. The excuses. The way I learned to hide the truth between sentences. And before the notes started appearing. I call him Butterfly Man. the stalker who exists in the spaces between my breaths, the corners of my vision, the silence just before sleep takes me. Eight years of weaving his obsession into my life like a murderous promise. My demons ask if the only way to get my happy ending is to let a killer get away with murder. My sanity hires Tristan Morra, a grumpy scarred bodyguard to protect me. But Tristan, too, has his own demons. He looks at me with unhinged darkness, like a morally gray antihero who will burn the world to keep me from falling into the wrong hands. Maybe I already have. Maybe I was never meant to be saved. In my stories, villains always get the girl. But in reality—villains kill the girl. You Will Be Mine is book 1 in The Storyteller's Bodyguard series. It ends on a cliffhanger. The story continues in books 2, XOXO, Little Butterfly and 3, Z for Butterfly Man.

XOXO, Little Butterfly

2025

The masked man is in my bedroom. Not in my dreams. Not in my inbox. My stalker—Butterfly Man—has stepped out of the shadows and into my bed. Even though my brooding, scarred, morally gray bodyguard promised to never let him. Who are you, Butterfly Man? I can’t trust anyone anymore. Tristan was supposed to protect me. Now he’s something else. Obsessive, possessive and unraveling. Detective Torrance was supposed to be my hope of a safe future. But I catch him in too many lies. And then there’s Blake—my husband, who once broke my bones, left me for dead, and now is blackmailing me. What if my only happy ending lies in the arms of a serial killer? Butterfly Man’s offer still stands. Be a good girl, let the masked stalker claim me. And he’ll get rid of everyone who has ever hurt me. In this story, only a villain wins. Only a villain gets to write my ending. For fans of Little Stranger, Lights Out and Haunting Adeline, read XOXO, Little Butterfly now. You must read book 1 You Will Be Mine first. This book is not a standalone and it ends on a cliffhanger. The story continues in book 3, Z for Butterfly Man.
