CRUEL BONDS

A funeral tore them apart, but digging the same grave could bring them back together… even if it's their own.

Violet and Gabrielle have been best friends since childhood, sharing everything—even the things they'd rather not. But when a devastating accident left a rift in their once unbreakable bond, each tried to carve out a life of her own, free from the reminders of that tragic day.

When the death of Gabrielle's grandmother brings them back together, they're hopeful they can mend old wounds. After all, they've both been lonely since they parted ways. But Violet isn't completely alone now—she has a new man in her life. Gabrielle is in love. Though history has told Gabby it's dangerous to introduce any love interest to Violet, she's eager to make sure this time is different.

This time, they aren't going to let anything come between them.

But rekindling their friendship is soon overshadowed by unexpected horrors. Both feel as if they're being watched. They catch glimpses of people who can't possibly exist. And a new series of threatening events seem far too deliberate to be mere accidents. The paranoia soon drives them further from each other—and from sanity.

Is it all in their heads? Or has their past come back to haunt them?

As Violet and Gabrielle are pulled deeper into a web of lies and obsession, they find themselves bound together in a deadly game they never chose to play. Told through a series of chilling letters—each more disturbing than the last—their shared history begins to unravel, revealing a trail of secrets, betrayal, and a shocking truth neither woman could have anticipated.

Though perhaps they should have. After all, they're far from innocent.

One might end up in an early grave—maybe she'd even deserve it. But will the other put her there?

Cruel Bonds is an unputdownable domestic thriller about love, obsession, and the lengths people will go to protect those they love. It is the first novel in the Between Us series, but all novels in the Between Us world can be read as standalones. If you love unreliable narrators, family secrets, and shocking twists, this addictive epistolary thriller is perfect for fans of Kiersten Modglin, Lucinda Berry, and Alice Feeny.

 SEVERED TIES

An estranged friend. A missing husband. A desperate search for truth. Suspicion sparks obsession in this deliciously deceptive domestic thriller for fans of Gone Girl and Local Woman Missing.

Cassandra Voss wasn't supposed to be on this trip, but she called in a favor to secure a spot on the research team. Residents of a remote town surrounded by wilderness are reporting strange symptoms—insomnia, aggression, delusions. 

But Cass isn't there for research. She's there for love. Though she knows it could end badly, she's confident that what happens in those woods will change the rest of her life. But then, her team stops sleeping too. And paranoia is only the beginning…

Ellie Milligan didn't just work with Cassandra–they were best friends… until betrayal drove them apart. Ellie even left the company. So the last thing she wants to think about is her husband's work trip. 

Or the nagging suspicion that he and Cassandra aren't just coworkers.

But then her husband never comes home. It seems Cassandra didn't either. Their colleagues' stories are full of holes. Ellie wants answers, and she has an advantage: they're required to film their studies. Those recordings could be the key to finding her husband–and the truth. 

The deeper Ellie digs, the more disturbing the mystery becomes. Her ex-coworkers insist that Vince and Cassandra ran off together. But Cassandra's video diary reveals sleepless nights, paranoia… and worse. Terrible things happened in those woods. Were they tragic accidents? The unavoidable cost of obsession? Or brutal acts of revenge? 

Soon, a chilling reality begins to unfold. Either the man Ellie loves chose her ex-best friend over her… or he didn't make the choice at all. 

And if Ellie gets too close to the truth, she might vanish like they did.

Severed Ties is a fast-paced domestic suspense thriller told through a series of video diary entries, leading to a shocking conclusion that will leave you breathless. It is the second novel in the Between Us series, but all novels in the Between Us world can be read as standalones and in any order. If you're a fan of family secrets, betrayals, and shocking twists, this addictive thriller is perfect for fans of Jeneva Rose, John Marrs, and Mary Kubica.
