Buried Truths and Deadly Secrets

A cryptic email, a chilling discovery, and a life crumbling before his eyes—John Roberts never imagined how quickly everything he knew could unravel. He stumbled into the scene all too perfect in its malevolence: his best friend, Will Jacobs, lifeless against the polished mahogany of his office. A professional hit, cunningly disguised to frame him, a master stroke of ingenuity that could only come from the hidden depths of a ruthless conspiracy.

Each bloodstained detail became a terrifying brush stroke on the canvas of John’s nightmare. The police, relentless and unsympathetic, were ready to close the net. Detective Miller led the charge, his gaze unyielding, cutting through John’s desperation as if the truth was already written in the stillness of the room. As questions and accusations flew, one horrifying possibility crystallized in John’s mind—he wasn’t the architect of this tragedy, but he was undeniably its pawn.

The realization that Will’s death was more than just murder, but the linchpin of a greater, sinister plot, pushed John into dangerous territory. The groundbreaking cancer drug that had consumed their lives wasn’t just a beacon of hope; it was a coveted prize in a game of corporate warfare and espionage, where shadows carried daggers and the stakes reached far beyond anyone’s imagination.

With adrenaline pumping through his veins, John’s path became clear. He wouldn’t be a lamb led to slaughter. Instead, he embraced a new reality—a fugitive, racing against unseen adversaries, diving deep into the murky waters of betrayal and corporate secrets. In this deadly race for innocence, only the truth could set him free. The clock ticks with lethal precision, and John’s quest to uncover the conspiracy becomes not just about saving himself, but ripping away the veils of deceit to expose a truth powerful enough to destroy the empire that engineered this nightmare.

Their relentless dedication to uncovering the hidden machinations of power, their unwavering commitment to justice, even when faced with immense pressure and personal risk, inspires this story. They are the true architects of accountability, the quiet sentinels guarding the fragile edifice of our societal trust.It is also dedicated to those who have known the chilling grip of wrongful accusation, the agonizing weight of suspicion, and the desperate fight to reclaim their shattered lives and reputations. Their resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship serves as a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit. Their stories, though often untold, echo through the corridors of injustice, a constant reminder of the fragility of our freedoms and the necessity of vigilance.

She was once the publishing world’s literary darling. He is the media’s literary Lothario. She won’t write. He can’t. These are the least of their problems.

Catastrophe forces Jocelyn Durand, the author of a decades-old and accidental publishing one-hit-wonder, to meet her idol, the best-selling suspense writer Asher Cray. Each harbors a literary crush on the other, but if gossip rags are to be believed, Asher is a philandering charmer and more than the late-bloomer Jocelyn could ever hope to handle. Still, while social media has labeled him a notorious Lothario, they might have the story all wrong. Regardless, those rumors are the least of Asher’s worries compared to the horrific case of writer’s block hounding him.

Sparks fly between the two would-be wordsmiths, but uprooted nightmarish memories and a revolving door of uninvited visitors create plot twists no one sees coming, threatening the pairs’ less-than-storybook romance and upending the devoted Durand siblings’ long-held beliefs. Happily-ever-after means the insulated Jocelyn and her stalwart sister must confront a wiped-away past, recognizing monsters come in unexpected forms, and maybe they aren’t all bad—a daunting task one wickedly hot Hamptons summer in a very crowded house when everyone’s personal histories blur the lines between fact and fiction. $0.99 on Kindle.

WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD HAS TURNED ITS BACK ON YOU, WHO CAN YOU TRUST? NO ONE. NOT EVEN YOURSELF!

They call him Keeper, but lately Jack Marconi has specialized in losing things. Just last year, he lost his wife in a mysterious traffic accident, and ever since, he’s felt like he’s losing his mind. As the warden of the maximum-security Green Haven Prison, home to 2,500 of New York’s most hardened criminals, Marconi can’t afford to drop focus, even for an instant. But he’s been slipping up on the job, and he’s tormented by flashbacks to the Attica uprising. All of which makes him ripe for the role of patsy when a convicted cop killer named Eduardo Vasquez stages a daring breakout on his watch.

From the start, Marconi suspects an inside job. What he doesn’t suspect is that he’ll become the target of a frame-up. Soon drugs are planted in Marconi’s office, embarrassing photos are circulated, and he finds himself facing trumped-up charges of obstruction of justice. With his supervisors clearly setting him up to take the fall, Marconi hatches a desperate scheme to clear his name. Kidnapping the escaped killer’s girlfriend, he arms himself with a .45 and takes off in pursuit of Vasquez–and the truth.

Once sworn to uphold the law, Marconi will have to elude it if he wants to bring this conspiracy to light. Otherwise, Keeper could lose everything: his job, his reputation–and even his life.
