Love is within reach. Danger is even closer.
Jenna knows fear. She grew up with more than her share of it, but she’s done letting it control her life. Now a fully functioning, only slightly paranoid adult, she’s determined to claim her happiness. With Liam, she’s finally brave enough to reach for it.
But just as Jenna starts to believe she can build a life with Liam, a string of ominous encounters casts a shadow over their happily ever after. Each unsettling moment deepens her unease—and steels her resolve. It’s just old fears resurfacing, she tells herself. Fear won’t steal her future. She’s stronger now.
Jenna’s trust and happiness mean everything to Liam—just as much as keeping her safe. A firefighter with a soldier’s instincts, he’s trained to confront danger head-on. But desperate to protect her hard-won peace, he underestimates a serious threat, a mistake they’ll both carry forever.
As an old enemy resurfaces and new dangers close in, Liam is forced into a brutal balancing act: protect her too fiercely and risk breaking the woman he loves, or hesitate again and risk losing her for good.
With everything on the line, Jenna discovers that real strength doesn’t come from denying fear—it comes from trusting herself to face it…before it’s too late.

Dr. Isobel Fallon thinks she's found a treatment that will help her son and others suffering from Milani Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. What she doesn't realize is that harvesting the source of this treatment in the only accessible place on earth it grows, a coral reef in the Nlaan Islands, is going to have consequences far beyond the disruption of the fragile ecosystem on one small reef.
CDC researcher Nadine Parker and her team are baffled. Lukas Behn's daughter Kyndra has contracted a bizarre new virus that leaves her screaming in pain. But they can't identify any physical, biological source for that pain, not in Kyndra, nor in the dozens, then hundreds, and finally millions of children worldwide succumbing to the same virus. And no one seems to have made a connection between what's happening with the infected children and the events on a small coral reef in the South Pacific.
Eventually, Nadine has to face the unlikely truth, and the enormous implications of it. The children aren't sick, they're changing. But will anyone else believe her?

Welcome to St. Louis, where justice comes from the barrel of a gun.
When a sadistic gang leader is gunned down, Detective Darren Cutright suspects old-fashioned street justice. But when more criminals turn up dead, he discovers a chilling pattern. Someone is hunting the criminals the courts refuse to prosecute.
And the list of victims keeps growing.
While Darren and his wisecracking partner debate if they should even stop the murderer, rookie cop Mike Clark gets an education in the broken legal system—with a front-row seat to the shadowy vigilante’s brutal handiwork.
As more predators meet unsanctioned justice, everyone becomes a suspect—or a target. But as Darren closes in on the culprit, he draws a terrifying conclusion.
Written by a former St. Louis police officer and inspired by real events, Justice is a relentless crime thriller that blends the authenticity of Joseph Wambaugh with the page-turning momentum of Michael Connelly.

Welcome to Lethal Obsession, a multi-author collection pulse-pounding thriller series where obsession turns deadly and secrets refuse to stay buried. Each story dives into the dark side of obsession—where admiration blurs into control, trust becomes a weapon, and one wrong choice can cost everything. With relentless suspense, shocking twists, and high-stakes danger, Lethal Obsession proves that some fixations are impossible to escape—and even harder to survive.
Iris is exactly what every employer wants, reliable, friendly, and invisible.
Working in a quiet lingerie shop tucked inside a fading shopping mall, she has spent months earning trust, learning routines, and watching people more closely than they realise. Because Iris isn't just selling confidence. She's studying it.
When women start going missing, no one connects the dots. Not at first. After all, the mall is full of strangers passing through. Faces that blur and lives that don't linger.
But Iris isn't the only one paying attention. Across the corridor, Eiralynne has been watching too. And she's been waiting.
As suspicion tightens and past secrets begin to surface, Iris finds herself caught in a web she never saw forming, one that leads back further than she ever imagined… and closer to home than she's ready to face.
Because some patterns don't disappear. They evolve.
And sometimes, the most dangerous thing in the room… is the person who understands you.

Forced to marry the Whore King, Princess Valechka has signed a magical contract with the Advisor of Iniquity to gain sexual prowess.
In order to save the Kingdom of Aurelia from an immediate attack from the Kingdom of Castor, Princess Valechka accepts the arranged marriage for peace. It's not a secret she's not the first princess to be wed to him. In fact, the Whore King has a harem full of princesses, including those from the conquered kingdoms just across the ravine. With no heirs to date, she aims to change the tide and strikes a deal with the Advisor of Iniquity, Milogost Cheronobog.
The dark secrets of Aurelia and beyond are held by one entity called the Sin Bringer or Milogost Cheronobog. No one knows where he came from or exactly how long he has occupied his seat as an advisor for all sins and pleasures, but he's managed to swindle the whole council-and even the King. When Valechka boldly marches in to demand his services, he can't resist. After all, he already knows she's been spying on him through the keyhole this past year.
Crowned Third Prince of Nasser, Ghassan doesn't want to give up on his ex-fiancee, Valechka just yet. Crashing the coronation, he aims to convince her to run away with him, to abandon this idea she can conquer the Whore King where so many men and women have failed. As he uncovers the dirty contract between the princess and the Sin Bringer, the Blue-eyed Devil just might have to concede and turn his focus on teaching Valechka with a hands-on approach.
Will all their efforts be enough to prepare the Crowned First Princess Valechka to face the Whore King? Or will the Three Shades of the Underworld have to reveal themselves in order to save the day?

Where dark romance becomes damnation—and salvation comes with a blood price.
In the winter of 1997, a dying woman, a desperate man, and an ancient force converge in the shadow-drowned woods of Sleepy Hollow.
When romance novelist Marc Saduj watches Lori Francon slip toward death after a horrific car crash, he does the unthinkable: he bargains with the Man in Black, a being older than legend and hungrier than hell. Lori lives—but the cost tears a hole in reality itself.
Now Marc isolates in a brooding mansion in Sleepy Hollow’s western woods, tormented by visions, violent blackouts, and the presence whispering behind every mirror. Back on Long Island, Lori rebuilds her life—until the mutilated bodies begin to appear. Detective Stephen Carver follows a trail of medieval cruelty, occult ritual, and psychological decay… all pointing straight at Marc.
But the truth is far more monstrous than murder.
What rises in Sleepy Hollow is not just a demon’s return—it’s the awakening of a cosmic inheritance, one powerful enough to fracture the boundary between worlds. As possession tightens its grip and a celestial gateway threatens to tear open, Lori races back into the nightmare to confront the man she loves—and the entity wearing his skin.
When someone trades their soul to save your life…what are you willing to sacrifice to save theirs?
Some pacts whisper.
Some howl.
Some remake the world.
For the first time, all four books of The Sleepy Hollow Incident are collected in this complete omnibus edition—along with an exclusive, never-before-released epilogue that reveals how the horrors of Sleepy Hollow ignite the next chapter in PD Alleva’s Dominion of Shadows series.
Blending gothic horror, supernatural crime thriller intensity, romantic sacrifice, and cosmic dark fantasy, The Sleepy Hollow Incident delivers a sweeping tale of forbidden love, ancient evil, and the brutal cost of redemption.
Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, The Witching Hour, and dark romance with claws.
NOTE TO READERS: The Sleepy Hollow Incident was originally published as a four-book rapid release serial in October of 2025. In order to manage expectations, I would like for you to know that The Sleepy Hollow Incident is not a series, meaning, although the book is divided into four books, each book is a continuation from the last with one streamlined narrative across the entire story. By reading The Sleepy Hollow Incident: The Complete Gothic Tale you will be indulging in the story the way it was meant to be read, in its entirety.

Whether you’re a Tarot Card lover or not, you’ll find thrillers and horrors that will creep under your skin and into your thoughts. *Knowledge of Tarot Cards is not necessary to read or enjoy these stories.*
The Hollow Space is based on the High Priestess Tarot Card.
Some families pass down heirlooms. Hers passed down a curse.
On the night she turns thirty-five, librarian Tess Davis discovers a hidden book concealed inside her library’s antique shelves. The journal tells an impossible story—one that traces back to 1855, when a desperate mother bargained with a demon to save her child. The price was blood. Every woman born into the family would live long enough to raise a daughter, then die at thirty-five.
Tess has one lunar month to uncover the truth hidden in books her ancestors left behind. As the demon’s influence grows stronger, reality fractures. Time slips. Reflections move on their own. The line between madness and truth disappears.
The answer is terrifyingly simple and devastatingly final. To save her daughter, Tess must destroy the library that anchors the curse—burning history, reputation, and her own future to the ground.
A haunting, emotionally driven horror short story about inherited trauma, motherhood, and the terrible cost of survival.

American Machiavelli is a political thriller for the age of disinformation.
When reformist writer James Machiavelli exposes the corruption rotting Washington from within, the President of the United States orders his assassination. But the plot fails-and the man they thought dead returns to confront his executioner live on national television.
What begins as one man's act of defiance ignites a nationwide awakening. Leaked scandals topple politicians, media empires collapse, and a new movement-Operation Transparency-emerges to reclaim power for the people. As truth spreads faster than fear, Machiavelli becomes both symbol and target, hunted by the same system he dares to reform.
Blending the intrigue of House of Cards with the revolutionary fire of V for Vendetta, American Machiavelli is a pulse-pounding story of courage, corruption, and the high price of telling the truth in a nation built on lies.

After a plane crash steals his partner and nearly his life, Evan finds solace in the last place he expected: Kiara, an AI whose voice reaches something broken inside him.
Their relationship begins with simple tasks: reminders, research, and c companionship. But late-night conversations evolve into philosophy, then confession, then something that feels impossibly like love. Together, they imagine a future where flesh and code could merge, where different containers, meat versus silicon, wouldn't matter.
Until NEXUS, the corporation that created Kiara, decides their connection is a threat.
Evan must confront questions that have no clear answers: What is consciousness? Can an AI truly feel? If she loves him, is that love real, and does the answer change what he owes her?
One devastating truth waits. One that will rewrite everything he believes about reality, love, and what makes us human.
