⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review – “What an absolutely epic conclusion to this series!…The sorrow, the tension, the angst, the emotion; everything culminated into my favourite story of the entire series! An absolute huge BRAVO to Rin Sher!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review – “breathtaking, heartfelt, and unforgettable finale…Shamed by Rin Sher is an absolute emotional powerhouse and a stunning conclusion to the Broken Souls series.”

I sent an innocent man to prison.
For 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 I relived the events of that horrific night. A night that changed the course of my future and left me with the jagged pieces of a shattered mind and a broken soul.
For 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 I thought justice had been served, that the monster had gotten what he deserved.
Then the truth came crashing down.
And I realized, I wasn’t the victim at all . . .
I was the monster.
With guilt burrowing deep, eating away at my marrow, I disappeared into a darkness of my own making, punishing myself for every minute I roamed free, all while an innocent man remained locked behind bars. I traded the sunlight for the neon glare of the stage, and turned my body into a living reminder of my sins.
And then suddenly, he shows up.
A man tied to the worst mistake I ever made. A man who somehow reaches into the pit I dug for myself. A man who refuses to let me stay broken, trying to glue my fragments back together with kindness that cuts deeper than any blade.
He looks at me like I’m still worth loving.
But if he learns the truth—if he realizes the kind of person he’s falling for—will he still want me or will loving me be the biggest mistake he’s ever made?
Because monsters don’t get a happy ending . . . do they?
🚨 NOTE: This book contains triggers and they can be provided upon request.









I was born in Australia but now live in Canada where I have been since I was 19. I’ve always loved reading, but decided to try my hand at writing a few years back. I’ve currently written 7 books, however, my first 2 have been taken down for revisions and I’m updating them to my current writing style. I have several other WIPs on the go so there will be no shortage of stories to come!

I love coffee, sunshine, wine, a good laugh, and I love LOVE!! I’m always rooting for people to fall in love, whether it be in books, movies, or real life!

With her life on the line and the city descending into chaos, Aza is forced into an alliance. To stop the Stars and save her sister and best friend, she has to trust the person she was sent to kill.

I was born in the Philippines, grew up in Papua New Guinea, and migrated to the US 11 years ago (after over 21 years of waiting for a visa). From experiencing living in a culture where cannibals were normal, to growing up in a culture where we’re taught to just appreciate what we have and just shake away the negative emotions, I feel like I have a lot of demons to fight that I’d love to put into stories. I’ve traveled a lot, having been to most of Asia and North America. With all of the experiences I have and the background I’ve come from, my entire life I’ve had to deal with mental health issues.

With regular therapy, a lot of self-reflection and acceptance of who I am and what my body allows me to have, and my love of writing, I’d like to write books that help women with managing their mental health, too.

Currently, I’m a UX content designer, writing content for software apps. I live in the mountains of Colorado with my husband, 2 dogs, and a cat.

Abby was never meant to be found.

They called her Ghost. A hacker who slipped through systems, vanished without a trace… and trusted no one.
Until she disappeared for real.
Six months later, she turns up in the last place anyone would look; tied to a bed inside a Halloween haunted house, drugged, broken, and barely holding on.
And the man who finds her?
A prospect with everything to prove… and everything to lose.
Decker knows the rules. Prospects don’t go rogue. They don’t make personal calls. And they definitely don’t risk the club for a woman.
But the second he sees Abby, he doesn’t hesitate.
He breaks protocol, cuts her free, and brings her straight into Black Saints territory.
Now she’s under his watch, healing from addiction, and hunted by the men who took her.
And when she wakes up in the clubhouse, she doesn’t trust anyone… except for him.
Because Decker isn’t just watching over her, he’s waiting, learning everything about her and her captivity, and he’s counting every bruise, every scar, every second they stole from her.
When the time comes, the Black Saints won’t just protect their own; they’ll make sure no one ever touches her again.
She was supposed to be a ghost.
Now she’s the reason he’s ready to burn everything down.

Quinn

I have a thing for my best friend’s sister. Charli Miller has always been the woman to own my heart, despite the fact she doesn’t feel the same way. We’re oil and water, fire and ice. We butt heads at every turn, but I’d still do anything for her.
I wouldn’t deny her anything.
Which is why I don’t put a stop to the little arrangement we seem to fall into. Spending that time with her is better than anything I’ve ever experienced, but unfortunately, it makes me crave more. I’ve always wanted Charli, but now, I’m a determined man. Especially when she shocks me with big news.
She’s scared, but I’m ready to fight. Fight for us.
Charli
No one pushes my buttons like Quinn Garrison. He might possibly be the most infuriating man on the face of the planet, and since he’s my younger brother’s best friend, I can’t get away from him. He’s always there, and even when he’s being sweet and supportive, it just grates on my nerves.
Until one day, that irritation explodes.
What happens next wasn’t planned. It’s raw and fueled by years of emotions, and even though I swore it wouldn’t happen again, it does. I let him into my bed and, as time passes, I’m unable to keep him out of my heart. I want everything I didn’t even know I needed, and there’s no going back now.
Especially when I see those two pink lines…

The moment I laid eyes on her as she dangled from a string of Christmas lights from her roof, I knew I was in trouble.
Gorgeous eyes, adorable smile, and a tenacity that I found oddly charming.
And so freaking sexy.
No woman should have that much power over a man. Yet, whenever I found myself around her, I couldn’t contain the need to kiss her, devour her…make her mine.
But this town is known for interfering and causing problems in even the smallest situations, which is why this has to stay a secret.
Every kiss, every second spent in her presence has to be between the two of us.
And yet, unforeseen circumstances force me to put myself out there even when I desperately just want room to recover from my injuries and discover who I am again.
I’ve seen the way she looks at me.
I’ve felt the way she shudders in my arms.
Rumor Has It, this isn’t going to turn out like I planned.


 





I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Photographer: Mark Mendez
Release Date: August 18, 2026

She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.

Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.
I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.
My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.
Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.
Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.
But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.
I came to Tuscany to escape.
But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave. And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

Their perfect life is a perfect lie…

When Chloe’s brother Stratton invites them to spend a week at his family home in the Hamptons, the vacation offers everyone a chance for a fresh start.

 

But Kylie isn’t arriving alone. Her new boyfriend, Danny, is joining them along with Stratton and his fiancée Penelope, and as tensions flare between Danny and Blake, so too does Kylie’s unease about the couple next door, Celeste and Roland Greer.

By morning, the couple is dead. And the closer Kylie gets to the truth, the harder someone tries to keep it buried.
