Ruby is coming soon...

I released Sapphire on 9/1/2025. I was thrilled. Unfortunately, I became very sick the following day and life has been on hold. Over the past few months, I've been slowly writing Ruby Sterling's story. Here are some highlights from her upcoming book.

Ruby Sterling has always been the wild card of the Sterling sisters—sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and far more comfortable breaking rules than following them. As a traveling nurse, she’s used to stepping into difficult situations. But when she takes a temporary assignment at a rural women’s clinic deep in the Ozarks, she quickly realizes the community surrounding Hope Hill hides far more than poverty and backroads.

Women arrive bruised and silent. Children appear sick but rarely return for follow-ups. And one patient—is trapped inside a powerful family compound that believes faith should replace medicine.

Silas Decker is a security specialist for Taggert Security & Investigations—a former soldier with a reputation for finishing dangerous jobs and trusting very few people. Especially stubborn, reckless nurses who insist on inserting themselves into criminal operations.

But Ruby isn’t just any civilian. She’s smart, fearless, and already in deeper than either of them expected.

As Silas goes undercover to infiltrate the powerful Parsons family and extract a dying woman and her children, the situation turns deadly fast. Cartel ties, a heavily armed compound, and a mission balanced on a razor’s edge mean one mistake could cost lives.

And the biggest complication of all?

The explosive attraction between Ruby and the one man determined to keep her alive.

With time running out, loyalties tested, and danger closing in from every direction, Ruby and Silas must decide what they’re willing to risk—for justice, for the innocent lives depending on them… and for each other.
