The dead haunt Abel Ease.

They come to him in his dreams, reminding him of his curse, and demanding he come down to them. They won’t let him forget his family’s sins, and they won’t ever let him escape his fate: his soul belongs to them.

And the people Abel comes in contact with? His curse becomes theirs. Sometimes, creatures from other realms reach out to those he loves… and snatch them up.

FBI Agent Emi Laurens once knew Abel, though she hasn’t thought of him for years. At the moment, all she’s concerned with is catching a serial killer performing Satanic rituals on his victims.

Emi thinks this killer is human … but it’s not, and now it’s after her.

In order to save Emi, Abel must first face the dead, and then venture into a world he wants nothing to do with.

He’ll stare down a creature straight from the depths of hell…

One that will gladly take his soul as well as Emi’s.

Genre: Psychological Thriller

The dead don't sleep, and neither will you.

For fifteen years, Abel Ease has hidden in Sunny Acres Asylum, keeping his demons locked away. But when a distant cousin arrives claiming to share his cursed gift—the ability to see what others can't—his careful isolation begins to crack.

As ritualistic murders shock the nation, FBI Agent Emi Laurens can't shake the feeling that something darker lurks behind the bloodshed. Something that whispers from shadows and wears familiar faces.

The walls between reality and nightmare are thinning. Ancient debts demand payment. And for Abel, the greatest horror isn't the evil hunting him—it's the possibility that his family's darkest secrets were never meant to stay buried.

What happens when the only person who understands your curse is the one who might destroy you?

Can Abel face the truth about his bloodline before more innocents pay the price of his family's sins?

Some gifts are curses. Some curses are destiny. And some fates are worse than death.

The Lover’s Chain

The Lover’s Chain

Til death us do part...

The Heinous Crimes Unit stopped Lucy Speckle’s murder spree. Brilliant FBI agent Christian Windsor was there. He watched as she cut her own throat.

Pushing Lucy to suicide has changed Christian. He’s becoming darker, harsher, crueler, and those around him are starting to notice.

Luke Titan couldn’t be happier because he engineered the whole thing. Too bad his genius keeps him hidden in the shadows.

If anyone knew Titan’s true intentions, he’d spend the remainder of his life locked up before getting sent to the electric chair.

However, his diabolical plans are almost complete.

Titan is done hiding, and he’s ready to rip the FBI apart.

The stakes are raised when a new serial killer emerges. The newcomer is kidnapping women, and only Christian notices. Driven by his relentless mind, he’ll do anything to catch this killer—even if it means breaking the law.

The only question is: What if there is no murderer?

There’s a very real possibility that the killer only exists in Christian’s mind, and he has no idea he’s being played by his psychopathic partner.

Will Christian survive Titan’s trap?

Don't stand outside, looking in. Pull up a chair and sit down. Luke is more than ready to welcome you back...

She’s hunting a killer who carves Satanic altars from his victims—gruesome displays of flesh and blood that defy human logic. She thinks she’s chasing a man. She’s wrong. It’s something far older, far darker… and it’s already inside her life, wearing a face she trusts.

To save Emi, Abel must confront the dead he’s spent a lifetime avoiding—and a creature from beyond that hungers for them both. One wrong step, and they’ll be its next grotesque masterpiece.

His cousin doesn't want Abel Ease dead.

She wants him delivered.

He came off the mountain carved: OPEN. HEAR. BECOME EMPTY. His wounds are closing on somebody else's schedule. The dead have hounded him since he was a boy, and now they've gone silent, the way a courtroom goes quiet when the verdict is already in.

You start with the hinges. No more chasing. Just the patient removal of everything holding Abel up, until the last open door is hers.

Emi Laurens and Brett Lichen came home knowing the world has hands. It takes people on purpose, and it rarely leaves a mark. In a Florida carpool line, a mother hears a voice that isn't hers. It knows what she's tired of carrying. And it has something to show her.

Book Five of Dark Pursuits. In this family, the ledger always balances. New here? Start with A Friend of the Dead.
