The Guardianship Trilogy · Book One
In the Dark
Fate marked them. The night claimed them. Love might destroy them.
An urban fantasy romance written to captivate without explicit content.
Walk the Night with MemphisThe War No One Else Can See
Memphis McLoughlin walks the midnight streets of Austin alone, armed with weapons forged in blood and secrets. The Night Shadows—creatures born of ancient druid magic—hunt the hopeless and feed on despair. She hunts them in return. Trained by her grandmother. Haunted by her past. Certain she’s the last Guardian.
Until Laif Craig steps in.
Marked by destiny and bound by a family oath to fight the same darkness, Laif is everything Memphis doesn’t trust: confident, connected, and far too curious about the scars she hides. When their paths collide, truths long buried rise to the surface—about her lineage, about his purpose, and about a war still raging in the shadows.
As their enemies close in and their bond deepens, the line between fate and free will begins to blur. Together, they may hold the power to change everything—if they don’t destroy each other first.
To protect what others abandon. To fight what others cannot see. To stand in the dark—and not back down.From In the Dark

The Night Shadows are fiction. The darkness they feed on is not. Memphis carries scars from a childhood she rarely speaks of, and the people she protects are often losing their battle with despair and addiction.

The Song Behind the Story
Guardian of the Night
When the last page turns, the story doesn’t end… the music begins. “Guardian of the Night” is Memphis’s song—the war she wages alone at midnight and the promise she makes to everyone the Shadows try to erase: You are not forgotten. I can hear your cries.
