I’ve always been a survivor. Growing up on the streets of Cincinnati, you learn quick who to trust and how to fight for what’s yours. But even I wasn’t ready for the mess my life became after I took things too far with someone I once thought I loved. One desperate act, and now everything’s spiraling out of control—rage, violence, betrayal. And Damien? He’s trouble. A con artist with a past as dark as mine and a temper that burns just as hot. Mackenzie thinks she’s got me out of his life for good, but she doesn’t understand how deep we go. He’s seen the real me—the broken parts I don’t show anyone—and now he’s obsessed, willing to do anything to keep me close, no matter the cost.

​

But nothing’s ever simple. As secrets start coming out, I realize we’re all tied together in ways I didn’t see coming. Love, betrayal, redemption—it’s all twisted up in this mess. And then there are the visions. My “Vision of Faith,” they call it. It’s a blessing and a curse, showing me bits of the future I can’t always make sense of. Lately, they’re getting worse—warning me that something’s coming, something big that could tear apart everything I care about.

Now, I’m left trying to figure out if I can escape the chaos I created, or if it’s already too late to save myself—and the people I love. I’ve made it this far by fighting tooth and nail.

With everything at stake, the fight for my future has never been more critical.

The gritty streets of Craydon are just the beginning of my fight for survival. As an assassin and computer hacker with international connections, I thought I could handle any danger—until betrayal shattered my world. Now, I’m hunted and caught in a deadly web of secrets and lies, where trust is a rare luxury and survival is my only certainty.

 

My husband’s family, enmeshed in a ruthless drug empire, has become both a sanctuary and a target. Samuel, reeling from my betrayal, dives into the dark underworld of Dubai, facing formidable foes and the shadowy Erias Khan. His search for the truth is further tangled by Lara’s warnings and shifting allegiances.

​

Meanwhile, my brother Damien, torn between our family’s criminal empire and a chance at redemption, struggles with his past, including his tumultuous relationship with Lucy—my former lover. As he faces the ghosts of his past, Damien must choose between clinging to old ties or forging a new path.

In a world where every decision is a high-stakes gamble, The Road Home is Mackenzie’s story of survival, betrayal, and the relentless quest to reclaim what has been lost.

After getting out of prison, I knew rebuilding my life wouldn’t be easy. Finding Keturah, my daughter, became my number one priority. I worked hard, got back on my feet, and thought I was finally on the right track—until life threw me another curveball. I discovered I have another child. Adjusting to this new reality wasn’t easy, but just as I was starting to make sense of it all, Keturah reached out two months before her eighth birthday. Meeting her for the first time changed everything. She’s given me a purpose I never thought I’d have again.

​

But as much as I want to be the father she deserves, I’m struggling to keep it together. Old temptations keep creeping back in, making me dream of a different future, and then there’s Lucy. We’ve been through hell, and I know I’ve hurt her more than once. She says she can’t forgive me, but I can feel there’s still something between us. Still, her health is getting worse, and she’s been having dreams—visions she believes are messages from her mother. It’s tearing her apart, and I’m scared it might tear us apart, too.

​

I want to build a future for Keturah and maybe even make things right with Lucy, but can I really outrun my past? Or is it just a matter of time before everything falls apart again?
