CRUEL SECRETS (Book 1)
Controlled all her life by her religious mother, fifteen-year-old Kelly Raven commits the ultimate sin.
She soon discovers that running away to the cold, frightening streets of London is less harsh than her previous life.
A drug dealer, two fraudsters, and a prostitute become her new family — and Kelly grows into the woman she was destined to be.
Little does she know that Eddie Raven is coming for her.
But she is no sweet four-year-old child — and he is certainly no doting father.
The Raven’s blood may run through her veins, but in her case, blood is not thicker than water.
WICKED LIES (Book 2)

Behind the cold, damp walls of the cottage, seventeen-year-old Malakai River is left to fend for his younger sisters.
In her selfish quest for freedom, his mother shacks up with a small-time gangster and recklessly leaves the children behind.
When Jean River returns a year later, she makes two shocking discoveries — the decomposing body of a young woman in her cottage… and Kelly Raven.
Malakai, battling to keep his sisters safe, steps into a world he knows nothing about. But he soon realises he has what most men fear — the face of his father.
Yet even that won’t stop the enemy in the wings trying to destroy his family.

Four fathers.
Four lies.
