DON’T HURT ME

BOOK 1

I had only just gotten promoted to executive director at Morgan Stanley – one of the youngest ever – when I began to notice that something wasn’t right in our house.

The walls change shades overnight. Coffee cups appear in strange places, always full and cold. And my husband Mark’s obsession with perfection grows more disturbing by the day. An encounter with his schizophrenic father makes me question everything I thought I knew about their family. Mark’s father’s cryptic warnings about his daughter Rachel—whose supposed suicide a decade ago is shrouded in secrecy—suggest a darkness that goes beyond mental illness.

As I uncover the truth about Rachel’s death, Mark’s increasingly erratic behavior begins to terrify me. Like his father, Mark seems to be losing his grip on reality—but I suspect something far more sinister than mental illness is at play when it comes to Mark. And that it’s the reason Rachel is dead.

But before I can do something about it, it’s too late…

Skyler Morrison thought she’d finally escaped the Lawrence family’s web of betrayal and destruction. She’s built a new life far from their toxic influence—until her infant daughter, Grace, is diagnosed with a rare, deadly blood disorder.

Struggling Hollywood actress Mia Monroe—born Mia Lawrence—has spent years fighting to distance herself from her family’s poisonous past. Newly sober but still on shaky ground, Mia learns about Grace’s illness and, despite being pushed away by Skyler—who refuses to trust anyone with the Lawrence name—she gets tested in secret. She expects nothing. Instead, the impossible happens: she’s a perfect match.

Out of options and out of time, Skyler accepts Mia’s help—praying she hasn’t invited disaster into her home once again.

In a family haunted by betrayal and secrets, sometimes help is the most dangerous gift of all…

EYES THAT LIE

BOOK 5

Mia Lawrence burst into Skyler’s bedroom with a gun—sent by Eleanor, her own mother, determined to destroy Skyler’s family once and for all. Surviving that night should have meant safety. It didn’t.

Eleanor Lawrence is free, rebuilding her reputation, and as dangerous as she has ever been. Skyler knows it. She can feel it in every locked door, every strange face, every question asked about her daughter. So she fights back the only way she knows how — obsessively, relentlessly, alone.

But obsession has a cost. And while Skyler watches for the threat she can see, the one she can’t see is already closer than she knows.

After thirty days on a psychiatric hold she was maneuvered into, Skyler Morrison walks free into the wreckage of her life. Her marriage is gutted.

To bring Grace home, Skyler must play the role of stable wife and devoted mother for a court that already sees her as dangerous. But Eleanor only needs time—and time is always on her side.

Then the FBI knocks: they’ve been watching her quiet suburban street for months. They want something Skyler has hidden since before Grace was taken. Surrender it, and she risks her children’s safety. Refuse, and she may lose Grace forever.

In a war between a mother with everything to lose and a woman who has never lost anything at all, someone will pay the final price.
