MORE THAN MEMORIES, BOOK ONE
He’s a small town cop waiting for his love to come home and clear his name. She returns without her memory. Will the truth destroy their second chance at forever?
Molly only remembers the last four years living in California. Then her parents died, forcing her to seek answers. A clue sends her to Ridge City, a small town in Oregon. She hopes it will spark a memory. She meets Trent Williams, a Ridge City police detective, and something else definitely sparks.
Without any leads, Trent Williams lived under the town's suspicions about Molly's disappearance. Then she walks right into his station and looks him in the eye without any recognition. He fears the reasons behind her disappearance and amnesia, but he's forced to dig for answers to clear his name and make sure she's safe.
Molly is shocked that not only does Trent know her, but he takes on her case and promises to do everything he can to solve it. He wants to know why she left town, with her parents, but without a word to anyone. She can only tell him she knew her parents briefly before they died, or were they murdered?
Trent has his own secrets, but they have a mystery to solve. As they work together, and Molly meets their old friends, she realizes her relationship with Trent went deeper than memories. How could she have forgotten her lifelong friend and love? Has he really been waiting and looking for her for the last four years?
There’s also the possibility that she did something awful. Maybe that’s why she’s afraid to remember her old life. Molly knows she wants Trent now, but the truth might destroy their love.
Can she love him again if she doesn’t remember him?
MORE THAN LIFE, BOOK TWOAfter four long years alone, he had her back. They started a family together. But suddenly she’s gone without a trace.
Did she leave him and her daughter behind—as some clues say? Or is she in danger? Can he save her and their marriage before it's too late?
Detective Trent Williams comes home to find his daughter taking a nap...but he can't find his wife Molly. She would never leave her family and friends, yet the whispers say she did before. For the second time, his reputation and career are on the line.
He can’t lose Molly again. Trent launches the most important investigation of his life. The hours add up but the clues don’t. Did her amnesia come back or did someone take her? He uncovers a bigger and more sinister plot behind this but no one will believe him.
His search puts everyone he loves in danger. He's willing to give his life to save hers, but can he keep everyone safe while he uncovers the truth?
MORE THAN ANYTHING, BOOK THREE
Someone is stealing the town’s children and taunting Trent. Does he hold the key to rescue the children before it’s too late?
Trent always feared one of his old cases would come back to haunt him and hurt his family. It hasn’t happened… until now.
The kidnapper leaves riddles addressed to Trent. Ten children and then you’ll lose yours… But first your sister will say goodbye to her babies.
It must be an old case, but Trent made that assumption last time, when someone kidnapped his wife Molly. Is this really revenge or a spree of senseless, heartbreaking crimes?
How can he keep his daughter Shyann and her new baby brother safe from the maniac?
