The 5 book Carrie Verne Series

NEEDS MUST (Book 1)

She will kill again — if needs must.

Quiet, unassuming Dottie Ellis never expected to fall for a man like Jimmy Carson. Dangerous, charming, and impossible to resist, he sweeps her off her feet — until her world comes crashing down.

Pregnant and heartbroken, Dottie discovers Jimmy has gone back to his ex, Carrie Verne. With nowhere else to turn, she runs home — only to uncover a disturbing family secret that changes everything.

Forced into an agonising decision to protect her unborn child, Dottie does the unthinkable. What she does shocks the town — and sets events in motion that can never be undone.

In an unexpected moment of solidarity, Carrie makes Dottie a promise. An unlikely bond is forged — one that will soon be tested to breaking point.

When a violent confrontation at Jimmy and Carrie’s wedding ignites a war between two families, Carrie is forced to choose between her own blood and the Carsons.

She chooses the Carsons…
but only to protect her sisters.

Now standing alone against a ruthless family, Carrie must decide how far she’s willing to go.

Is she strong enough to bring the Carsons down — or will it cost her everything?

BITTER ENEMIES (Book 2)

He wants her back . . .

Book two in the brand new Carrie Verne series.

When Jimmy Carson, twice the size and with twice the bravado, leaves prison, he’s hellbent on getting his family back.

Determined that nothing will stand in his way, he reignites the long-standing feud between the Carsons and the Murphys, which erupts into a raging inferno and threatens to consume everything in its path.

Carrie Murphy always knew that one day the Carsons would be released from prison, either broken or vengeful. But she never anticipated the catastrophic events that would follow – for herself, her family, and her business.

After a diabolical incident that shatters Carrie’s life, she learns the extent of hatred and envy that runs through Jimmy’s veins.

And just when the Murphys think things can’t get any worse, they do.

Someone else out there is seeking revenge.

BROKEN BOND (Book 3)

Bonds are tested in a gripping story of betrayal, vengeance, and deadly ambition.

Carrie and Dottie raised Billy and Jesse Murphy with one rule above all others: family comes first. No matter what.

But on one fateful night, as Billy takes his girlfriend Willow out on a simple date, his world is torn apart. Days later, a shocking revelation shatters the bond between the brothers — and this time, it may be broken for good.

Meanwhile, Cas Ferrier’s life is about to spiral out of control. A long-buried heist, thought safely forgotten, resurfaces with brutal consequences, unleashing a ruthless killer driven by blood and revenge.

Family is everything to Billy. But when he witnesses something so disturbing it can never be unseen, even Dottie fears he may never be the same again.

With vengeance on their minds and enemies closing in, can Billy and Cas uncover who is behind the devastating chain of events — before everything they love is destroyed?

MERCY DENIED (Book 4)

Two brothers. Two sides of the law. One war neither can escape.

Billy Murphy built his empire on loyalty, strategy, and power.
Jesse Murphy built his career enforcing the law.

They are brothers — and they are on a collision course.

Kenny Ruck is out of prison and hungry for revenge. His target is Cas Ferrier, Billy’s closest ally. But Ruck is only the spark. The real danger lies with the Shipley family.

They want Jesse to bury evidence in a murder case. They know he can’t be bought — but they also know exactly how to break him.

For Dottie, the threat is painfully personal. One Shipley has never been forgotten: Candice. Now she’s back, and she’s the head of the hydra.

The Shipleys have no code and no limits. Their message is brutal and unmistakable — they will destroy Billy, his empire, and everyone he loves.

Now Billy faces an impossible choice: give the Shipleys what they want… or watch everything burn.

The question isn’t who wins.
It’s who survives.
