About the book
After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown--and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories, and the ghosts of old pain are very much alive in Wahredua. Hazard’s new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset’s role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard’s first boyfriend.
When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely. But as the city’s only gay police officer, Hazard is placed at the center of a growing battle between powerful political forces. To his surprise, Hazard finds an unlikely ally in his partner, the former bully. And as they spend more time together, something starts to happen between them, something that Hazard can’t--and doesn’t want--to explain.
The discovery of a second mutilated corpse, though, reveals clues that the two murders are linked, and as Hazard gets closer to answers, he uncovers a conspiracy of murder and betrayal that goes deeper--and closer to home--than he could ever expect.

About the book
When you find something precious... You defend it with your life.
Eden
Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.
After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.
I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…
The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.
Linc
I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.
I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is.
Forget PALADIN’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect.
And whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life, is going to lose theirs.
Whistleblower is book 1 in the PALADIN Series. It is a spicy, touch her and die, morally gray alpha hero, romantic suspense intended for audiences 18+. Please check the trigger warnings prior to reading.

About the book
Florida Keys romantic suspense.
Found family. Buried secrets. A guarded dive instructor she can’t ignore.
Glory Dawson escapes with a bruised body, a cracked phone—and one treasured gold-and-silver necklace from her father. She isn’t just running from her abusive boyfriend. She’s running from the life he shattered.
With nowhere left to go, a compassionate counselor offers a last-resort lifeline: a dive center in the Florida Keys.
At Dave’s Outdoor Water Sports, Glory finds sunlit docks, turquoise water, a bar called the Hut, and a tight-knit crew that doesn’t ask questions—only gives her a place to breathe. For the first time in years, she starts to feel safe.
Then she meets Ellis—a magnetic, guarded dive instructor who’s equal parts temptation and warning sign. Their chemistry is instant… but so is Glory’s unease, because Ellis seems to know things he shouldn’t. And the deeper Glory sinks into the calm of the Keys, the more she feels it: something about her past doesn’t add up.
As flashes of memory surface and secrets swirl beneath the waves, Glory must decide what survival really means—keep running… or fight for the truth, the life, and the love she never believed she deserved.
UNTIL THE TIDE is a gripping coastal found-family romantic suspense—an emotional, twist-filled story of healing, identity, and the kind of love that asks you to stop fleeing and finally come up for air.
