As the truth comes to light, she’s left to face a reality far more dangerous than the one she was trying to escape.

Saevryn Kennedy has spent her entire life on the move, following her mother’s rules: don’t get attached, don’t stand out, don’t ask questions. When her mother is suddenly institutionalized, Saevryn is placed into foster care- and for the first time, she begins to experience stability, love, and the possibility of a future that doesn’t involve running.
But as she settles into a new life, the past starts pushing back. Nightmares sharpen. Memories surface. Timelines stop making sense. And Saevryn is forced to confront a terrifying truth: the woman who raised her may have been protecting her from something far darker than the world outside.
A psychological thriller about gaslighting, inherited trauma, and the cost of blind loyalty, For Your Own Good explores how far a mother will go to protect her child- and what happens when love becomes the most dangerous lie of all.
“You’re very smart Saevryn… that means you need to be careful. Smart girls get noticed.”

Juliette Grace thought she had her life figured out- until the cracks in her marriage shattered everything she once believed in. Left with nothing but the weight of betrayal and the echo of broken promises, she finds herself drifting, untethered, lost in the spaces between who she was and who she’s supposed to become.
Then there’s Jackson Daniel. A voice on the other end of a gaming headset, a stranger who quickly becomes something more. He’s reckless, charming, and frustratingly unattainable- but somehow, he understands her in ways no one else ever has. What starts as a distraction soon turns into a connection Juliette never expected. With Jackson, she begins to remember what it feels like to be seen, to be wanted, to be alive.
But healing isn’t linear, and love doesn’t always follow the rules. As the lines blur between friendship and something deeper, Juliette is forced to confront the past she’s been running from and the future she’s too afraid to claim.
Told through lyrical prose and a blend of past and present, Lost in the Meantime is a raw, emotional journey of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the kind of love that leaves an imprint long after it's gone.
“Maybe the cracks didn’t mean we were breaking… maybe we were just letting the light in.”

Ceci never expected her life to be measured in "before" and "after." But in the aftermath of a devastating accident, she finds herself tethered to the unknown- caught between grief, guilt, and the fragile hope of a future she can’t quite grasp.
Juliette, the friend who always kept her grounded, now lies unconscious, leaving Ceci to navigate a world that suddenly feels unrecognizable. As she struggles to hold herself together, a chance encounter with Adrian- a paramedic with his own ghosts- offers her something she never saw coming: a reason to keep moving forward.
But healing isn’t linear, and neither is love. As past regrets and new temptations pull Ceci in different directions, she’s left to wonder: Can you rebuild a life when the foundation is still cracked? Or is she destined to lose herself in the wreckage of what once was?
Lost in the Aftermath is a story of heartbreak and resilience, of unexpected connections and the weight of unspoken truths. Because sometimes, survival isn’t just about making it through the storm- it’s about figuring out who you are once the dust finally settles.
“She was the one thing that felt solid… our friendship wasn’t perfect… and now, she’s slipping further and further away.”

Abby’s life was never supposed to be this complicated. At fifteen, she fell in love with Michael- a boy who made her feel invincible. But what began as a fiery, passionate romance turned into a toxic entanglement of betrayal, addiction, and secrets she never could have imagined.
Living under the same roof as her best friend Delilah and her soulmate Michael should have been perfect. Instead, it unraveled everything Abby thought she knew about love and loyalty. When Delilah announces her pregnancy online, Abby learns the horrifying truth: the baby isn’t some stranger’s. It’s Michael’s.
Fueled by pain and a desperate need for answers, Abby spirals deeper into Michael’s world of lies, discovering his infidelities, his drug habit, and a side of him she never wanted to see. But Michael isn’t the only one hiding something. When Abby’s rage explodes, her reality fractures in ways she can’t explain. She wakes up in jail, arrested for a crime she doesn’t remember committing, and begins to suspect that the biggest enemy she’s facing might be herself.
As relationships crumble and her own mind begins to betray her, Abby fights to uncover the truth about her past, her choices, and the shadows lurking within her. Secrets long buried come to light, and she realizes that her worst fears aren’t external- they’re buried deep inside her.
Vicariously is a searing exploration of love, betrayal, and the fragility of the human psyche. With raw emotion and shocking twists, Abby’s story will take you on a journey through pain, survival, and the ultimate discovery of the strength hidden within.

For Your Own Good follows a teenage girl who was raised on the run by her mother, believing everything was done out of love and protection… until she’s placed into foster care and begins uncovering the truth about her past. It explores themes of family, identity, and mental health, and has a strong twist element that keeps readers engaged throughout. It’s currently sitting around a 4.7 rating on Goodreads, and readers have really connected with the emotional depth and storyline.
Lost in the Meantime and Lost in the Aftermath is more romance-focused series. They follow a friends-to-lovers story with elements of grief, healing, and a slow-burn relationship, told across dual timelines. Those tend to do really well with readers who enjoy emotional, character-driven romance.
