The Alex Demarchelier Series
Private betrayal. Political power. Crimes that reach far beyond their first victim.
The Alex Demarchelier thrillers follow an internationally successful designer whose perceptiveness and fierce loyalty repeatedly draw her into dangerous conflicts involving psychological manipulation, cybercrime, and institutional corruption.
Alex is not a detective or trained operative. She survives by noticing what others overlook, understanding how people and systems fit together, and refusing to abandon those she loves. Across the series, threats that begin inside marriages, families, and friendships expand into conspiracies reaching the White House.
Each book presents its own central crisis, while Alex’s relationships, public role, and long battle against Vivien Gibson and the forces behind her develop throughout the series.
Meet Alex
Alex creates order for a living. Then dangerous people begin dismantling her world.
An internationally successful designer, Alex has an instinctive understanding of space, structure, and the people who inhabit them. She notices inconsistencies others miss and recognizes that even the smallest detail can reveal a much larger design.
Alex is intelligent, compassionate, stylish, and accomplished—but she is not invulnerable. Her willingness to see the best in people sometimes delays her recognition of the worst. Once she understands the danger, however, she is tenacious, resourceful, and almost impossible to intimidate.
Through loss, motherhood, and an unexpected life in national politics, Alex evolves from the target of a personal vendetta into a formidable defender of her family and the people who depend on her. She does not seek danger, but when it enters her life, she refuses to let fear make her smaller.

Meet the author

I love storytelling and exploring what people do when life pushes them to the edge.
My fascination with why some people crumble under pressure, others become villains, and some rise to become their best selves found its way into all my books. I hope you’ll enjoy the characters' journeys through fear, conscience, and the darker corners of the human psyche.
My husband and I live in Baltimore.
