Ten years old I fell in love
Ten years was the price of that love
Ten years later our world’s re-collide
Alexandria (Alex)
My brother Jonah was possessive when it came to the things he owned; this unfortunately included the people in his life. The forbidden love between his best friend and me was just that… forbidden.
Our families were from different walks of life and as a sheriff’s daughter being with a Moore’s kid would never be tolerated. To my parents their son and Dalton Moore were on different paths and their friendship would end as soon as college began but it was my brother who had a craving for trouble. He was always looking for danger, committing petty crimes and getting away with it because Dalton would take the fall, blackening his already stained name. When Jonah found out we broke the rules by loving each other, his consequences impacted us all with immeasurable suffering.
Betrayal comes with a debt and it would be paid by all of us.
One with their heart,
one with their mind
and one would pay in blood.
Alexandria (Alex) 

Soul mates, 
not everyone believes they exist, but that’s because they have never met theirs. 
How can someone who has never felt a connection so fierce, that you feel the power of it in every molecule of your being, believe such an thing exists? 
How can you explain to them that the jolt that ignites every nerve ending in your body is like the sky crackling and exploding with lightening before it joins with the earth for the briefest yet most magnificent of moments, displaying the true force of nature’s power? 

When that one person you were created with, comes into your life, you know without any doubt that they’re yours and you are theirs. It’s nature in its truest form. There is nothing more natural then falling in love with your soul mate. 

True love Is like an out of body experience, you transcend before crashing back into your body seeing life through new eyes. 
You don’t just find your soul mate; you reunite with them with intensity so powerful nothing can stop it. A love so potent you feel it in the atmosphere, and you see it in their aura. 

Dalton Moore was my soul mate and I lived to love him.  
He was in my every childhood memory. 
Every dream I conjured. 
He was every good decision I made…

But for him… 

I was in his every childhood memory. 
Every nightmare he slipped into.
I was the worst decision he ever made.


it was amazing


As soon as I found out about this new book by Ker I had to get my hands on it. Ker has a way of writing that pulls you in from the very first page and hooks you in never letting you go.

Another dark and riveting read, we have Alex's Dalton's story, a story of love, soulmates, betrayal, violence, secrets. what more can you ask for in a book.

Alex is a woman that believes in love at first sight and also soulmates. She felt the pull when she first set eyes on Dalton when she was a young girl. But coming from a family that has a very over protective brother, a father who is the sheriff, and mother that feels that Alex should have the world. Alex is stopped at every turn as Dalton was deemed as a boy from the wrong side of the tracks.

Dalton was sent to live with his uncle and forced into a world that he never wanted to be in, after the ultimate betrayal from someone that he loved the most or so he thought.

Secrets were kept from both of them resulting in hatred that is so powerful you cannot define the line between love and hate.

This is one hell of a read and every minute was fantastic, as the ultimate fan of Ker's books I certainly look forward to see what she writes next.



 it was amazing
"When you think the sun will never shine, and life is lived in the darkness of the night no matter the time of day, then out of nowhere a beacon burns so bright it obliterates all the darkness - that was Alex."

A story of manipulation and lies, half truths and misconception that cause love to sour into hate and soul mates to be wrenched apart. At ten years old Alex's life changes forever when the boy next door moves in and completes the missing piece of her heart. A bittersweet romance ensues as he is part of a family that is trouble, dealing in all things illegal, his father in prison and now living with his reprobate uncle Dalton is part of a family legacy. Becoming best friends with the Sheriff's children is a double edged sword and falling in love with Alex is just asking for trouble. Their childhood is spent stealing moments and sharing their hopes until who they are catches up with them.

Ten miserable years apart and the death of her father means it's time for Alex to revisit the past and bury her demons. Trepidation and sadness leads her back to the man that holds the fractured pieces of her heart in his hands. Sparks fly as they reconnect and it's not the heart felt reunion she had been dreaming of...

Dalton, born into a legacy of an illegal empire, plans to get out and make something of himself. Caught between his best friend and the love for Alex things take a dark turn and he finds himself in prison for something he did not do. Ten years later he is known as Ten, and is now at the forefront of the Family empire seeking vengeance for a life of hopes and dreams shattered by those he trusted the most. Has the boy Dalton been lost to the man Ten, consumed by anger? Will Alex's return invoke a thaw of the ice surrounding his heart?

Ten is a pulse racing, intriguing read that will hook you from the first page. A love story with a heart wrenching twist, instigated by evil men influenced only by greed and power. Exploring the bonds of family, love and loyalty and the devastation caused when they are exploited. Ten is a dark read although not as dark as previous stories from this author it still captures the shadowy genius that is Ker Dukey. Not for the faint of heart this book in parts is quite harrowing, the description of prison had a silent tear tracking down my cheek as I imagined an 18 year old innocent man facing ten years in hell. Alex's treatment at the hands of the Moore family also at times is quite graphic but necessary for the plotline. I loved the twists and turns, the suspense was through the roof! Six is an amazing character and won a special place in my heart, I can't wait to read his story. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to more in this epic series.

A five star soul mate read.

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.
My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.
When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.
You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.
