This is a dark gothic romance about Maribel Gentry, a woman who returns to her late father’s Texas estate only to uncover layers of obsession, manipulation, and forbidden desire. As she unravels the truth about her father’s death and her uncle’s control, Maribel is torn between the freedom she craves and the man who has quietly caged her heart all along. It’s a story of love twisted into possession—and the dangerous comfort of surrender.

I write about people who survive themselves. That’s what living really is.
It’s not the clean, sunlit version of life people like to pretend it is. It’s the quiet war between who you are and who you wish you could be. It’s the sleepless nights, the mistakes you can’t take back, the moments you break your own heart just to feel alive again. Living isn’t about being good or bad. It’s about learning how to stay, even when the world tells you to run and run when they tell you to stay. Every character I write bleeds for that truth, that survival isn’t the absence of pain, it’s the art of carrying it and still reaching for something more.
