Ever heard of impostor syndrome? Well, if you look it up in the dictionary, you'll find my picture beside the definition. I've been living in my older brother's shadow since the day I was born. Anyone would struggle to live up to the legacy of the great Jaxon Slate, hockey superstar and face of the league. But it's worse for me. Everyone expects me to be Jaxon 2.0, and I'm nothing more than an off-brand imitation. When I'm out and about, people see me and glance over my shoulder, hoping he's with me. Until her.

What happens when a burnt-out techie professional ditches the comforts of modern life and hikes 2,650 miles across the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada? A head-on collision of midlife crisis and wilderness reality, where he’s never felt more alive. Somewhere between blisters, bear poop, and resupply, it clicks. Those cryptic ideas of Zen and Taoism he skimmed almost two decades ago—about ‘simplicity’ and ‘attachment,’ the kind most of us flag as hippie nonsense, weren’t entirely wrong.

I loved a boy once. I let him go to chase his dreams. But he doesn't know I kept a piece of him with me. Benji Mills took the opportunity and ran as far as he could from our small town.

No matter how hard I try, I can't forget about him.

The Call is an imaginative coming-of-age story that shares the field with historical figures from the game of baseball. It is a mixture of imagination and fact through the use of historical fiction, which transports listeners to another time and place, either real or imagined.

My gift has always felt more like a curse. Standing up and speaking the truth when nobody wants to hear it is terrifying. But the truth doesn't erase the horrors I've seen. It doesn't silence the whispers, or blind me to the fingers pointed my way. Doing the right thing never brought me anything but trouble. So finding myself held captive by a sexy-as-sin duo who loathe me on sight doesn't come as a shock. What does surprise me is how quickly my anger for them burns out, leaving a ferocious need in its place.

I see dead people. While it might sound cool, I can assure you, it's not. The dead are even bigger assholes than the living. I learned at a young age to be invisible. Even breathing wrong could set my father off. The beatings became progressively worse as I got older, and I feared I wouldn't survive to see my eighteenth birthday. So I plotted my escape, and no one was more surprised that it worked than me!

But plans change when his twin brother decides to crash our holiday escape. Hendrix is steady, kind, and always by my side. Wilder is, well… wild. He's everything I shouldn't want while his twin—my best friend—is the perfect guy. Not that he's ever looked at me that way. Unlike his brother… who can't seem to take his eyes off of me.

Unable to remember half of her life, Isabella Young latches onto the kind EMT whose patience becomes her solace as she struggles to put the pieces of her life together.

Five years ago, my sister was abducted by an outlaw biker club. I have it narrowed down to only one club who could've done it—Devil's Nightmare MC. So when one of their members gets assigned community service at the foundation I run to help sex trafficking victims, I'm sure I'll finally get the justice I seek. But he's nothing like the monster I know he must be. But I will not fall for his gorgeous blue eyes and sweet words. Problem is, that might not be as easy as it sounds.

And respect for her father will only get me so far when she's lying next to me nearly naked. I'm not thinking about tomorrow because I might not live past today. All I know is that I need her like I've never needed anything or anyone.

Dark romance books were always my favorite. Now I'm living one. Thanks to Joker, a man I fell in love with hard. He wooed me with lies, told me everything I wanted to hear and more. Then he chained me up in a room and promised he'll break me. To get revenge on my father.
