"I was born from love, yet I am heaven’s greatest heresy."

Born of angel and demon, the half-breed is raised in captivity until the day he escapes, carrying only a single forbidden tenderness from a healer angel who defied Heaven to hold him for a single night.

When the healer is taken into the Demon Realm as a sacrificial offering, the half-breed tears through demon arenas, claims a throne he never wanted, and crosses the void where souls face eternal erasure. He encounters angels of all ranks, demon lords and fallen beings, all to reach that one love that he was never allowed to want.

This is a journey that asks whether a soul born as heresy can claim the right to love, and to be loved in return.

“Let them see it. Let them feel the weight of everything I was never allowed to be. I will not cower.”

God's Scar is a slow-burn, emotionally intense, M/M dark fantasy romance of forbidden devotion, visceral worldbuilding, and the quiet violence of choosing to love in a cosmos built to destroy you.

“I just want you.
Painfully. Desperately. Endlessly.
You are the only reason worth living for.
The only thing that makes this world bearable.”

For readers who crave =

• Slow-burn, non-explicit M/M romance.
• Gritty, lyrical storytelling.
• The ache, yearning, and grief that love demands.
• Touch him and die.
• Who did this to you?
• Forced proximity.
• Found family.
• Vivid, immersive, theological worldbuilding.
• Epic fantasy grounded in philosophy and emotional depth.
• Character-driven saga
• Morally grey demons and angels.
• Not a fast read. A lasting one.

“Because love was not the warmth they sang about in hymns. Love made you vulnerable, exposed to the sheer, naked terror of caring enough to lose everything.”

Hear it from readers who love it :

"I need another instalment immediately. This was a perfect blend between Rafael Nicolás's 'Angels Before Man' and Anthony Oliviera's 'Dayspring'." - a Barnes & Nobles bookseller - NetGalley reviewer.

"What a profoundly beautiful, yet horrific book. It was unlike anything I had ever read before, and I loved every second of it. It was so moving and thought-provoking. I cried and felt so deeply by the end." - Goodreads reviewer.

"This is an amazing story about love, belonging and acceptance. The world-building is atmospheric and immersive. The battle scenes are described so well that it is like watching a film. The unique portrayal of Heaven and Hell and complex characters make this book a must-read for people who love books with high stakes and lyrical writing." - NetGalley reviewer.

"This book has brought me through most of the feelings one can feel. It's soul-wrenching, nerve-wracking, it's healing, and it is grim, brutal, but also so very beautiful." - Booksirens reviewer.

"This is a beautifully written story about heaven vs hell, devotion vs contempt, and where one belongs. The love between the MMCs was a tug of war and confusion of what love is supposed to be. This is an exquisitely dark tale of belonging, family history and grieving love." - Goodreads reviewer.

Izzie Berens: Arcane Enforcer

Magic is real. So are monsters. And Izzie Berens is the one who hunts them down.

When a series of violent attacks shakes Austin’s magical district, Paranormal Defense Agent Izzie Berens and her partner, Rafe, are called in to investigate. The evidence points to a rogue shapeshifter—one with the terrifying ability to mimic anyone it touches.

The chase takes them through Austin’s hidden supernatural underworld, where danger lurks behind every shadow and alliances are never what they seem.

Speaking as one, it’s not that simple.

My sisters and I grew up oppressed by a bloodthirsty tyrant in another realm. Now we’ve got a trickier challenge, one I’m more worried about.

What happens when the world’s newest superhero is also its last hope?

On a study trip to Egypt, art student Charles meets Heba, a street peddler guarding an ancient secret: magic ink that can transform imagination into reality. When Charles returns home and sketches his own superhero, he doesn’t just finish a drawing. He brings it to life.

Too bad Sketch’s first day on the job is a disaster. His grand attempt at flight ends in a four-foot face-plant, his strength sputters in and out, and even the cops chasing him are more annoyed than afraid. As Sketch fumbles his way through powers he can’t fully control and emotions he’s never felt before, he starts to learn what it really means to be human…and a hero.

Then the Finger Gunman appears, a ruthless villain determined to steal the magic ink and use it to unleash an army of superpowered criminals. To stop him, Sketch must travel to Egypt, find Heba, and reclaim his abilities—before the Finger Gunman becomes his final mistake.

 

He was sent to eliminate a threat. He found the one woman he can’t let go.

Forced proximity. Relentless danger. Off-the-charts chemistry.

Ruckus kicks off the adrenaline-fueled SEAL Team Alpha series—perfect for fans of alpha protectors, fierce heroines, and heart-pounding romance.

One Man. One Mission. Justice. In the Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer.

Rodney K. Harrison’s life could have gone the way of the drug dealers he grew up with in South Jamaica, Queens. Instead, a twist of fate and relentless drive led him to become the NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed officer and, later, Police Commissioner of Suffolk County on Long Island—where he engineered the arrest of the elusive Gilgo Beach serial killer.

Harrison survived a false arrest as a teenager and later dodged bullets as an undercover in Brooklyn. He calmed the fallout of Eric Garner’s chokehold death on Staten Island, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with outspoken community leaders in Harlem, brought Jam Master Jay's killers to justice, removed bricks from the 9/11 Twin Towers, dealt with looters during the pandemic on the streets of New York—and always advocated for every victim.

This real-life Blue Bloods true crime story chronicles the triumphs, controversies, politics, and dangers that define modern policing in America’s largest city.

With candor and grit, Harrison shares these true crime stories:

• The harrowing night his undercover partner was shot on the street,
• What it takes to rise through NYPD ranks while never forgetting your roots,
• An insider’s view of the investigations that shaped headlines—from Jam Master Jay to his career-defining case, putting the Gilgo Beach serial killer (he called him "the Devil that walks among us") behind bars, and
• The personal sacrifices and moral dilemmas behind the badge.

More than a cop’s story—a rare, unfiltered look at crime, justice, and resilience in New York. Now a crime commentator on CBS and corporate security consultant, Harrison's story is a lesson in humility and efficiency in crime fighting.

A deeply moving memoir of healing and ancestral reconnection, weaving an intimate personal story with the epic history of Ireland.

In 2013, exactly a century after her grandparents emigrated from Ireland to America, Carolyn Brigit Flynn returned to her ancestral homeland in the wake of a family tragedy. Raised in a boisterous Irish Catholic family in 1970s Washington, DC, Flynn grew up amid traditional music, stories, and blarney—but also with silence about the poverty and hardship her grandparents left behind. Her charismatic father bore his own wounds and shunned her when she fell in love with another girl in high school.

In her thirties, Flynn realized she could not build an authentic life until she reckoned with the Irish ghosts she felt coursing through her blood. Her journey took her from the sacred stones of Newgrange to a windswept Irish island where she lived alone for a month. In the coming years, she braided her own experience of trauma and healing with the deeper thread of Ireland’s history of colonization, ancient spirituality, and profound resilience. At once intimate and expansive, Flynn’s memoir is both a personal love letter and a historical excavation. Ultimately, The Light of Ordinary Days invites readers to consider how we reassemble ourselves after tragedy—how we make a true home, across the sea or within the soul, by honoring the places and people who came before.

When medical journalist Theo Croft arrives in Scotland to film a documentary on the tuberculosis pandemic, he soon finds himself in the sleepy village of Salen, where nineteenth century inhabitants mistook the disease for vampirism. As Theo and his film crew slowly unravel the truth behind the vampire panic, a series of unsettling events lead to a horrific discovery. Theo returns home to find that something has followed him back. Something monstrous that has left its mark on him. To protect everything and everyone he holds dear, Theo must face the darkness within. Or else he might end up becoming a monster himself. Thrall is a story about loneliness, love, regret, and all the things that make us human.

Magic is real. And April Kingsley’s power is slowly destroying her.

Sixteen-year-old April Kingsley never believed in magic. She definitely never wanted powers of her own.
But after being accepted into Saguaro Academy, a hidden magical school buried in the Arizona desert, April discovers her terrifying secret is real: she can sense damaged souls… and heal them by giving away pieces of herself.

Every time she saves someone, she loses part of who she is.

Worse? The only way to restore her fading soul is to take energy from others.

At Saguaro Academy, students whisper about strange behavior, missing memories, and a darkness spreading through campus one broken soul at a time. While powerful mages train for glory, April hides an ability no one understands, one that could make her either a miracle… or a monster.

Then students begin losing pieces of their souls.

Now April may be the only person capable of stopping the ancient force feeding on the academy. But every soul she heals pulls her closer to the edge of becoming the very thing everyone fears.

Perfect for readers who love magical academies, hidden powers, found family, dark secrets, morally gray magic, soul bonds, slow-burn tension, and heroines who are dangerous in ways even they don’t understand.

Fans of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, A Deadly Education, and Crave will devour this emotionally rich magical-academy fantasy filled with mystery, dangerous powers, and a heroine whose greatest gift might destroy her first.

Nothing exciting ever happens in Arcadia, a sleepy little town outside Savannah. That is until sleazy, philandering, no-good Gio Pazelli is killed in his home.

Right away, Judith Fox knows exactly how the investigation is going to go down. Her young friend Maria is smack-dab in the middle of the mess, and Judith will use all her considerable resources to protect both the girl and her reputation. She persuades the mayor to enlist FBI agent Jake Hunt as an advisor on the investigation.

Jake is tired of being a cop, and this case is a perfect example of why. He has no real reason to be in Arcadia. There are no real suspects and very few clues. And this bossy woman has no business inserting herself into a murder investigation.

After a rocky start, Judith and Jake realize they work well together, they have more in common than either of them expected, and initial impressions can be deceptive. And most surprising of all, there's an undeniable spark between them.

But first, they need to solve the murder before time runs out for Maria.

A wife cast out. A husband ruled by doubt. If the truth comes too late, love may not survive the betrayal.

 

Etta thought her marriage was built on trust. Then one afternoon, in the quiet sanctuary of her worktable, her husband walks in with his mother, the family lawyer, and a devastating accusation: forged accounts, stolen money, and a secret plan to leave him richer than she arrived. In a single brutal moment, her home, her reputation, and her marriage are ripped away—and Etta is forced to walk out with nothing but her tools, her pride, and the certainty that she has been framed.

Lucian has always trusted evidence over emotion. The documents are convincing. The betrayal feels complete. But the woman he cast aside refuses his money, refuses his protection, and refuses to break. While she fights to rebuild the career she gave up for love, one tiny detail in a forged certification begins to unravel the case against her. And with every new clue, the man who doubted her is forced to face a far more dangerous possibility: that the real deception is far closer than he ever imagined.

 

Set against a world of old money, family power, and fragile works of art, The Wife He Doubted is a fierce contemporary romance filled with betrayal, wounded devotion, and razor-sharp emotional tension. Can Etta clear her name and survive the man who broke her heart before love is buried beneath suspicion for good?

 

God, Why Didn't You?

What do you do when the miracle does not happen?

When you prayed. Believed. Stood on Scripture. Trusted God with all your heart.

And still nothing changed.

What do you do when your theology and your reality no longer seem to fit neatly together?

When someone else gets healed… but you do not.

When heaven feels silent.

When you still love Jesus, but quietly no longer understand what He is doing.

These are the questions many Christians carry deep inside but rarely say out loud.

For more than ten years, Byron van der Merwe has lived through chronic illness, chronic pain, unanswered prayer, emotional exhaustion, and seasons where faith itself felt fragile.

He has seen God move in extraordinary ways. He has also walked through moments that shattered the neat formulas he once thought he understood.

Moments that left him wrestling with questions like:

Why did God heal this person but not me?
How do I keep trusting God when life does not make sense?
What happens when the breakthrough never comes?
And perhaps the hardest question of all: can I still live a full, meaningful, joyful life even if the situation never changes?

This book was not written from theory. It was born in the tension.

In the hidden battles at two o'clock in the morning, in hospital rooms, in disappointment, confusion, and silence, in moments where Byron wondered whether he even wanted to keep going anymore.

But it was also born in the discovery that faith is not only about trusting God when the outcome matches your expectations. Sometimes faith is learning how to walk with Him honestly when it does not.

With rare vulnerability and hard-won perspective, Byron helps readers navigate the painful space between what they believed would happen and what actually did.

With honesty, compassion, biblical truth, and the reminder that God's presence remains even in the valley.

Inside this book, you will discover how to:

• Rebuild trust in God after disappointment and unanswered prayer
• Keep walking with God when your faith feels fractured
• Navigate silence, confusion, grief, and emotional exhaustion honestly
• Let go of guilt, pressure, and formula-driven faith
• Find peace and purpose even in unresolved pain
• Stop camping in the valley and begin walking forward again
• Live faithfully even when life has not turned out the way you hoped

Each chapter includes gentle reflection and Scripture-based application to help you process your own journey honestly before God.

This is not a book about pretending everything is fine.

It is for people who are tired. People carrying disappointment. People trying to hold onto faith while quietly wrestling with pain. People who feel stuck somewhere between heartbreak and hope.

If your faith feels shaken, this book will help you find steady ground again.

Because even here, your story is not over.

From the Amazon bestselling author of Testimonies of a Good God. God, Why Didn't You? became a #1 Amazon bestseller in every category it was listed in across Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon Australia, and Amazon Canada.

Alongside the book, you will also receive:

• Free Audiobook of God Why Didn't You?
