Nash McBride failed a woman once. He won’t do it again.

Six years ago, he lost his sister, Rebecca, to the monster she married. For years, he begged her to leave, to let him intervene—but she refused. And after six long years of abuse, her husband finally killed her.

Now, Nash and his team of ex-military mercenaries dedicate their lives to rescuing women from the same fate. Their sanctuary—Rebecca’s Chance—is more than just a safe house. It’s a place where broken women rebuild themselves, forging strength from their pasts.

The way Nash gets them to Rebecca’s Chance is what puts them on edge—and possibly crosses legal lines.

Someone in their life—a desperate friend, a worried parent, a sibling who refuses to watch them suffer—pays Nash to extract them from their dangerous reality. But to the women, it feels like a kidnapping.

Because, in a way, it is.

Nash doesn’t wait for them to ask for help. He takes them before it’s too late. Before they end up like his sister. Whether they see it as rescue or abduction doesn’t matter—because once they’re at Rebecca’s Chance, they’ll learn what survival really means.

For six years, Nash has followed his own simple rules where the women are concerned without fail. No attachments. No distractions.

But Alexis Tanner is different.

The polished, educated daughter of an oil tycoon, Alexis doesn’t fit the usual mold of the women who come to Rebecca’s Chance. It’s her cold detachment, the eerie lack of emotion in her eyes, that sets him on edge. Something inside her is broken in a way he’s never seen before.

And no matter how hard he tries to fight it, she gets under his skin. Attraction is against the rules. He made them for a reason.

But when Alexis finishes her training, Nash does something he’s never done—he asks her to stay. Just two weeks. Two weeks to see if what they have is more than just chemistry, more than just a fleeting desire. But when the time is up, she must fulfill the final condition.

One year. On her own. No contact with him. He needs to know she is strong enough to survive without him.

As the months tick by, an unbearable feeling settles in Nash’s gut—Alexis isn’t coming back. He knows he should let her go, give her the freedom she fought for.

But the truth is, he doesn’t know if he can survive without her.

Gabe Greyhawk has everything a man is supposed to want—wealth, power, and a company he built from nothing. From the outside, his life looks perfect.

Behind closed doors, it’s falling apart.

After eight miserable years of marriage, his wife plans to walk away the moment their unborn son is born—leaving Gabe with three children.

For a price.

Six million dollars.

Gabe would pay anything to keep his kids. Because if life has taught him anything, it’s this: money can’t buy happiness.

Then Cameron Cole walks into his office.

Sharp, stubborn, and completely unimpressed by his wealth, she turns his world upside down. But when tragedy forces Gabe to make an impossible choice, Cameron is the one who stands beside him as everything shatters.

What he doesn’t expect are her scars.

Cameron grew up in a world where trust was dangerous and love didn’t last. Every time Gabe breaks through her walls, she builds them higher—afraid of the whispers their relationship will bring.

He’s a wealthy widower.

She’s younger and from nothing.

And she’s hiding secrets that could destroy everything they’re building.

Walking away would be easier.

But Gabe Greyhawk doesn’t quit.

Not on her. Not on love.

Because sometimes the messiest love stories become the most beautiful ones.

Breaking the Faith

Breaking the Faith is a raw, unfiltered memoir about growing up in a devout Christian household where faith wasn’t just encouraged — it was law.

Raised in a strict Pentecostal “full gospel” environment, the author was taught to fear God, fear the end times, fear embarrassment, and above all, fear questioning anything. From terrifying visions of the Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast to rigid rules about race, gender, and obedience, religion shaped every corner of her childhood. Doubt was not an option. Silence was survival.

But beneath the surface of church services, prophecy charts, and Sunday certainty lived a different reality — one marked by poverty, secrecy, generational trauma, untreated mental illness, sexual abuse buried under shame, and a sister whose devastating medical decline was always explained away as “God’s will.”

As the author grew older, married young, raised children, and eventually stepped away from church, a single book cracked open everything she thought she knew. What followed wasn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake — it was a slow unraveling. A questioning of scripture. A confrontation with hypocrisy. A reckoning with the damage done in the name of divine purpose.

Breaking the Faith is not just about losing religion. It’s about reclaiming autonomy. It’s about choosing logic over fear, evidence over indoctrination, and compassion over control. It explores how intelligent, loving people can cling to belief — and what it costs when they do.

Brutally honest, darkly humorous, and deeply human, this memoir challenges readers to examine what they believe, why they believe it, and whether faith should ever come at the expense of truth.
