About the Book

Hong Kong-based Private Investigator Stella Woodworth returns to her childhood home in Manhattan after her mother’s alleged suicide attempt. Suspecting foul play and with deep-rooted distrust for her wealthy and controlling father, Stella reluctantly teams up with Samuel Green, a troubled local NYPD detective.

As they investigate, dark family secrets unravel, leading Stella and Samuel through a web of violence, deceit, and unexpected alliances. Together, they must confront their own demons while navigating a treacherous path to uncover the truth before they become the next target.

The Perfect Family is a fast-paced domestic crime thriller that explores the darkest secrets family’s hide from each other and shows that a real family isn’t always blood related but the people we choose to be part of it.

The Girl Who Wrote on Water

As dust settles on the buried kingdom of Ymittos, Princess Derya faces a horrifying conclusion: her friend Princess Eliana has perished after failing to break an evil sorcerer’s curse. Which means the next obstacle in the plot to enslave the continent is Derya’s father — the Emperor of Cinar.

When the emperor tasks Derya with forming a crucial alliance, her only way forward is to race the sorcerer in a hunt for the magical scepter he lost a millennium ago. If he retrieves it, he’ll be unstoppable in his quest to dominate the world.

Seeking the scepter in barbarian-controlled territory could cost Derya her life.
But if she refuses the quest, she loses her right to the empire.
And if she fails, there won’t be an empire left to inherit.
