The Truth Behind Those Eyes
Some truths aren't safe. And some love stories don't start with trust.
They start with a warning.
* * *
Nikki thinks her life is ordinary until a routine delivery ends in bullets, blood, and a man
who insists he's already dead.
Josh says he was sent to protect her.
From what? He won't say.
But something is coming.
Something ancient. Something hungry.
The man she's told to trust is drowning in secrets.
The world around her is tearing at the seams.
And her body - her very self - is beginning to change.
Dragged into a war she doesn't understand, hunted by creatures that shouldn't exist,
Nikki doesn't want to be saved. She just wants the truth - even if it breaks her.
And Josh? Nikki can't tell if he's her salvation... or her ruin. But no matter how far
she runs, she always ends up beside him.
And maybe that's the most dangerous part.
A dark paranormal romance where monsters speak in riddles, love is laced with ruin, and some fires burn not to warm—but to consume.

The Lies Behind That Smile
Book 2 of the Unveiling Series
Some truths aren't meant to be remembered. They're meant to stay buried.
* * *
Two years after the battle that was meant to end everything, Nikki is no longer where the world thinks
she is—and that's the only reason she's still alive.
Hunted by forces that move through shadow and scripture alike, she survives on rules she barely
understands, guided by a dangerous knowledge that can't be spoken aloud. Every answer she
uncovers pulls at something older than demons, older than Guardians, and far more interested in her
survival than her safety.
Josh has spent years believing he lost her. Finding her again should have been a miracle—but miracles
come with consequences. Bound by duty, prophecy, and a past that refuses to stay silent, their reunion
exposes fault lines that love alone can't mend.
As ancient Hunters close in and the line between protector and weapon begin to blur, Nikki must decide
what she's willing to risk: the truth, the people she loves, or the fragile peace holding the realms apart.
Because this time, the war isn't about power.
It's about knowledge—and what it costs to carry it.

Where book one, The Truth Behind Those Eyes, is about the cost of truth... what it takes to face what’s been hidden, and what it risks when distance has been the only way to survive.
Book two, The Lies Behind That Smile, is about the price of lies... the ones told to endure, the ones that keep people moving forward, and the damage left behind when the past refuses to stay buried.
