April Gennings, a quiet woman waiting for her own appointment, becomes the only person who stays with him when the nurses ask for help. As James declines, April remains through every fall, every failed attempt to stand, every spike of the monitor, and every breath that grows thinner. Annabelle, James’s self‑absorbed partner, arrives only to clash with April in the hallway, furious that a stranger has taken the place she abandoned. James’s condition worsens until the early morning when his breathing stops and the monitor flatlines. April stands beside him as the nurses call the time of death.

Copyright 2026 D.M. Jordan. All Rights Reserved. Cover Art by Mohsin Afridi Dr. Aubrey Prentice is a rising psychiatrist with ambitions of writing a groundbreaking self-help book for women trapped in destructive relationships. But her methods are anything but conventional. Rather than observing from a clinical distance, Aubrey immerses herself in the lives of her male patients—crossing ethical boundaries in pursuit of deeper insight. Through intimacy, she believes she has uncovered what drives men, both emotionally and physically. The question is no longer what she has learned—but what it has cost her. At the center of her most dangerous case is Ian Henshaw III: a brooding, powerful millionaire whose influence extends far beyond the therapy room. What began as a professional relationship quickly evolved into something far more entangled—first patient, then lover, and now fiancé. But Ian is not a man who shares. Possessive, commanding, and accustomed to control, he demands absolute loyalty—even as Aubrey’s current marriage remains unresolved. Drawn into his world of wealth and power, Aubrey finds herself facing a chilling realization: the life she has pursued may come at the price of her independence. In a high-stakes collision of ambition, desire, and control, Aubrey must confront the consequences of her choices—and decide whether she is the architect of her own destiny, or merely another piece in Ian Henshaw’s carefully constructed empire.

Caleb James Mercer has survived the impossible — a brutal bear attack, a shark mauling, and an overdose that should have ended his life — but survival has only left him hollow. Once a man who chased wilderness to feel alive, Caleb now drifts through the wreckage of his marriage, his faith, and his identity. Grace, the woman who once held him through every wound, finally walks away when his addiction and silence swallow the home they built together. The story unfolds in fragments — memories, hospital rooms, motel mirrors, and the slow collapse of a man who no longer believes he deserves breath. After the bear attack, Caleb returns home physically scarred and emotionally unreachable. After the shark, he sinks deeper into pills and bourbon, retreating to a couch that becomes both refuge and coffin. When Grace leaves with the children, Caleb’s world narrows to a handful of bottles and the echo of Psalm 23 — a prayer he once recited without meaning, now haunting him like a voice he can’t silence. His overdose is not a climax but a threshold. Revived in a hospital he doesn’t want to wake up in, Caleb begins a reluctant, stumbling return to life. A chaplain’s quiet recitation of the Psalm plants a splinter of something he can’t name. Rehab forces him into rooms where other broken people speak truths he’s spent years avoiding. Grace visits once — not to reconcile, but to hand him a small leather notebook with the words *You are still walking* written inside. Caleb’s redemption is not dramatic. It is slow, human, and painfully small. Fixing a drawer in a house that no longer belongs to him. Sitting beside a grieving addict in a hallway. Whispering the Psalm not as armor, but as confession. He learns to speak again, to stay again, to be a father in increments rather than promises. In the end, Caleb does not find God in miracles or thunder. He finds Him in the quiet choice to keep walking — through grief, through shame, through the valley he created and the one he survived. The Psalm becomes not a shield, but a testimony: a reminder that even in the darkest places, something still calls him forward. *The Psalm Beneath the Scar* is a spare, lyrical novel about survival, addiction, estrangement, and the slow, sacred work of returning to oneself — and to the people who once believed you could.

Rupert Domingo, the madman who also escaped her digital nightmare now taunts her with all the answers she’s asking for…as long as she plays his game first.

--- What if everything you thought you knew about sex, love, and intimacy was just the beginning? This book is funny. It is crude. It is psychologically precise and occasionally so direct you will feel personally called out — because you probably should be. We are going to talk about pussies, cocks, scrotums, licking, sucking, and the kind of lovemaking that lasts nine hours and leaves you permanently ruined for anything less. We are also going to talk about childhood wounds, generational trauma, the chakra system, plant medicine, Tantric philosophy, and why so many grown adults are still operating with an eight year old's emotional toolkit. At the center of it all is a love story. A real one. A man named Seymour who was brilliant, quietly charming, and a prisoner of wounds he didn't know he was still carrying. A woman in the middle of her own becoming who thought she was just dating and ended up in the most profound classroom of her life. This book is the map she built from that experience. From the dating field through the blockades and the wounds, through the chakras and the sacred body, all the way to the other side where Tantric lovemaking sessions last twelve hours, orgasm is not a moment but a sustained state, and two people who have actually done the work discover what connection was always supposed to feel like. If you are tired of the same old patterns producing the same old outcomes, this book is for you. So, buckle in buttercup. Let's go for a ride.
