My Brother's Keeper

What If The Truth Was Deadlier Than The Lie?

My Brother’s Keeper is the first book in the Loyalty Before Betrayal series, a gritty urban drama and suspense thriller. The story follows Legacy, a young woman thrust into the violent underbelly of the streets after the murder of her older brother, Daniel. The novel explores themes of loyalty, revenge, survival, and the blurred lines between justice and retribution.

In My Brother’s Keeper, meet Legacy—a relentless force driven by loss and vengeance as she navigates the gritty alleys of Detroit and Columbus. With a heart hardened by grief yet fueled by unyielding determination, she stands as a living testament that loyalty to family is worth every risk, even when revenge beckons with a sly, dangerous grin.

Legacy’s journey is one of transformation—from an intelligent but emotionally devastated teenager into a calculating, perceptive woman who moves with purpose and quiet fury. The novel unravels her gradual descent into the very world Daniel tried to keep her away from, as she seeks the truth behind his murder while balancing the illusion of a normal life.

When Doves Cry

When Doves Cry, a plunge into the pulsing underbelly of South Africa’s nightscape, where the neon glow of underground clubs illuminates a world where loyalty is a commodity and betrayal is just the next beat. Here, one woman learns that in a realm where money talks, trust whispers—
and sometimes, it shouts.

When Doves Cry follows the compelling journey of Lola, a talented musician caught between the glittering allure of global stardom and the shadows of her tragic past. Initially set to inherit her father's prestigious hotel empire, Lola's life drastically changes following Viktor Diamante's murder. Driven by heartbreak and unresolved family secrets surrounding the mysterious death of her father, Lola abandons her planned career, finding solace and strength in music.

As she performs around the globe—from the bustling nightlife of Seattle to the dangerous yet vibrant underground scenes of South Africa—Lola methodically unravels a sinister conspiracy linked to the deaths of the people she loves. Love complicates her quest, challenging her resolve and forcing her to confront deep emotional scars. Ultimately, Lola must choose between vengeance and the healing power of forgiveness. Symbolized by the prophecy of doves crying, her journey signals transformation, closure, and the powerful realization that sometimes true strength lies not in revenge but in releasing the pain to embrace new beginnings.

The Keeper of Secrets

The Keeper of Secrets weaves a suspense-filled narrative of love turned toxic. Our final heroine, once blinded by a promise of eternal protection, must now unravel the painful threads of deceit and neglect. Her story is a stirring reminder that sometimes the most perilous battles are fought within the heart itself.

In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is blood-deep, The Keeper of Secrets follows the story of Lexie, a woman whose love once blinded her to the abuse and control wielded by the one person who swore to protect her—her husband, Adam McQueen.

At 21, Lexie thought she married safety, stability, and protection. By 25, she escaped the polished hell of Adam’s neglectful, manipulative grasp, determined never to lose herself again. But freedom comes with its own price. What Lexie doesn’t yet know is that her past runs darker and deeper than her failed marriage. She is the daughter of a powerful figure with a bloodline that ties her to secrets that bind her and a family she has never known.

When her biological father dies, she inherits an empire. But stepping into her father’s empire comes with ghosts. Lexie is no stranger to betrayal. And now, she’s tangled in a web of old grudges, unfinished wars, and deadly secrets that force her to become the strategist her father always intended her to be. Lexie’s world is one of power plays, silent wars, and survival.
In the backdrop of Ohio’s criminal underworld, Lexie faces a choice:
Stay in the shadows, protect her secrets, and survive…
Or step into the war, dismantle the empire that tore her family apart, and finally claim her legacy.
