Rosa never thought she’d make it to sixteen...
When being unique puts you in danger and speaking your mind can be punishable by death, you might find yourself fighting to survive. Rosa lives in The Woodlands, one of eight enclosed cities where the lone survivors of a devastating war have been gathered. In these circular cities everyone must abide by the law or face harsh punishment. Rosa's inability to conform and obey the rules brands her a leper and no one wants to be within two feet of her, until she meets Joseph. He's blonde, fair skinned, blue eyed and the laid back, ever-grinning, complete opposite of Rosa. She's never met anyone quite like him, and she knows that spells danger.
But differences weren't always a bad thing. People used to think being unique was one of the most treasured of traits to have. That was before the bitter race war decimated most of the planet, leaving the Russian wilderness as the only scrap of land habitable for survivors. Now, the Superiors, who ruthlessly control the concrete cities with an iron fist, are obsessed with creating a 'raceless' race. They are convinced this is the only way to avoid another war. Any anomalies must be destroyed.
The Superiors are unstoppable and can do anything they want, after all, they are considered super heroes by the general public. But not everyone see's them this way. When they continue to abuse their power by collecting young girls for use in their secret, high-tech breeding program, they have no idea that one of those girls has somehow managed to make friends even she didn't know she had. And one man will stop at nothing to save her.

Book 2 in The Woodlands Series
Joseph, wake up, wake up, wake up.
She says it over and over. It’s her plea, her prayer, her mantra. But life doesn’t stop while he’s sleeping. Rosa’s been thrown into a new world, with new rules, and a philosophy that sounds too good to be true. She’s also sure they didn’t rescue her out of the goodness of their hearts.
The Survivors must want something from them… but what?
The Wall finds Rosa eagerly entering a new life, yet struggling to keep the demons and ghosts of the past from dragging her backwards.
She’s left so many people behind and isn’t sure how to start over.
There’s freedom in the Survivors’ world, more than she’d ever dreamed of, but there’s also secrets. The darkest of which pulls Rosa headfirst into a trauma, forcing her to reevaluate her past and pushing her to make a choice that may destroy the tenuous, sewn-together family she’s built on the outside.
Will Rosa make the right choice… or will she lose everything she has fought so hard for?

Book 3 in The Woodlands Series
You
think you’re in control, that you have your hands on the reins. But I’m
starting to think either someone else is driving or the reins are attached to
nothing. Just flapping and snapping in the breeze. What could be simple, never
is.
Rosa doesn’t want to get used to being separated from
Joseph, from Orry. But now she must battle her way back to her family, her
future, at the same time struggling to come to terms with her father’s past,
his secrets and what he means to her now.
With her best friend Rash by her side she feels blessed and
cursed. He is her saving grace but will Joseph accept him, and will he forgive
her for leaving? More importantly will she manage to return to him? Rosa must
pull these threads together. Hold herself in as she hacks her way back to The
Wall with the aid of new companions but not the one person she’d planned on saving.
Finding her way back is only the beginning. The biggest
changes, the shocking outcomes are waiting. Hovering over the town like a
menacing vapour.
The Wounded have waited, nursed, and been dormant for too
long and now they’re coming, dragging the ghosts of their lost ones behind
them.
