JANE BLAKE: TRUE SINNER
Jane Blake is a world-class con artist with a talent for solving impossible cases—until hacker-detective Ryan Gray ropes her into an elite unit. With real backup, she turns that gift on herself, hunting the truth about her origins: a childhood abduction attempt, a mysterious savior, parents who vanished behind lies. Each clue ties her family to a criminal network that prices truth like contraband. True Sinner launches the Jane Blake series—fast, twisty, razor-edged.
JANE BLAKE: MIND (the) GAME
Mind (the) Game propels Jane Blake into her most personal case yet. Her search for Michael Morse—key to the riddle of her past—becomes an obsession that fractures her hard-won alliance and tests Ryan Gray’s faith in her. Going rogue, Jane walks into a trap with no backup and only her con-artist instincts to survive. Every move brings her closer to the truth about her parentage—and a design far more treacherous than she imagined. Fast, twisty, and relentless.
JANE BLAKE: HIGH TIME
The electrifying finale of the Jane Blake trilogy. With the clock bleeding down, Jane chases the deepest secret of her past—and collides with an adversary who reads her like a mirror. Enter Jay Hunter: thief and worst temptation. He’s the ally she needs and the risk that could wreck everything she’s built with her makeshift family. Every reveal cuts closer to the bone: devastating truths, a desperate flight for survival, and a choice between the future she’s earned and the pull of the life only Jay understands.
High Time is twisty, relentless, razor-edged.

The Heir to the Aftermath
(Book #1)
Step into a world of Forbidden Magic and Dark Secrets in "Helligdom" - an enthralling Young Adult/Coming of Age fantasy-mystery novel.
What if the answers you’re desperate for could cost you the only people who finally feel like home?
Seventeen-year-old Jake Moonlux is done living like a secret. Trapped on the Blank side under a controlling father and a lifetime of rules, Jake does what he always does when a line is drawn. He crosses it.
When a chance to reach Helligdom opens, Jake grabs it, bound for the legendary sanctuary he has wanted his whole life. It is breathtaking, brutal, and political, where trust has a price.
Jake finds allies in Sam Wotcher and his family, and a dangerous spark in Amelia Ashbourne.
Then the whispers start. Forbidden rituals. Old “accidents.” Missing people. A Council too skilled at pretending everything is fine. And in the shadows, someone is gathering power.
Jake came for the truth, but when his own magic turns against him, how far will he go to protect the people he cannot afford to lose?
