Etched in this Moment
Title: Etched in this Moment
Series: False Identity
Author: Calla Zae
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 15, 2021
Cover Design: Calla Zae
The law has failed her; men have failed her, but I won’t.
“Every moment with you is precious time ticking life into my heart.”
Sofia (Tia)
The holidays are here, and I’m feeling hopeful until an anonymous text message arrives, reminding me of why I’m in hiding. I go by “Tia,” but that’s not my real name. I stay away from men, especially cops. But Theo—an attractive and determined detective—fascinates me. I’m afraid my desire for him might be the end of me.
Theo
The last thing I need is a distraction that takes me away from my recovery from a deadly wound. But as the mystery unravels around Sofia, so does danger, and so does my heart. The need to protect her pulses in me, becoming a priority. She’s mine, and I always protect what’s mine.
“Wait up, Tia!” I called out, not understanding the sudden shift in mood.
She paused and turned to face me.
I moved to stand in front of her. “Did I say something wrong?”
Her expression changed when I said I was a detective. I watched the color drain from her face. Did she have a terrible experience with one? Was she hiding from the police? What kind of trouble was she in?
Did I want to get involved? I had enough going on in my life, and I certainly didn’t need more baggage. But there was something about Tia that pulled me to her. I couldn’t stay away. How could I stay away from a mystery that yanked at my emotions—my heart? She had become the most intriguing—and the most beautiful—enigma to cross my path. It was in my blood to unravel this puzzle.
“Look, I’m sorry if I said something that was out of line. This may seem like prying, but it’s not meant to be that way. I’m trained to pick up on body language, and I think you’re afraid of something.” I made sure I left enough space between us. This extra space would make her feel safer.
She flicked me a sharp gaze, but neither confirmed nor denied my statement.
“I recognized the fear in your eyes earlier today, and I thought to myself, this girl is terrified. If there’s something you need, please let me know.”
Color returned to her cheeks. “I appreciate the offer, but I don’t trust law enforcement. Sorry.”
She left the room, leaving me standing there to wonder what had happened to her. She couldn’t push me away if she tried. I was hooked. Who was Tia? I had to find out, and I had the resources to do so.

I love writing contemporary and otherworldly romance novels. I'm an artist, and I love to create visuals to convey my stories.
I live in Massachusetts with my husband who keeps me grounded to Earth and two creative children who think I have my own secret planet. They're onto something...

My grandma is one of the last true masters of witchcraft. I'm nothing. Yet someone thinks I'm too dangerous to live…Josefine comes from a prestigious line of witches, but she's never possessed so much as a breath of magical ability. Nevertheless, life in her sleepy German town is peaceful, and working in her grandmother’s herbal remedy store keeps Josefine happy.
But then her grandmother is killed in a merciless vampire attack. Wounded and alone, Josefine finds herself the target of a relentless pursuit. Each day is a battle to survive, so when one of the most powerful and dangerous vampires alive unexpectedly offers his help, a skeptical Josefine is left with no choice but to accept.
Lucius is not only as handsome as the devil, but he’s also as mysterious as the night is dark. The dashing vampire couldn’t care less that Josefine’s hostility for him is transforming into a fiery passion, and yet, she needs him more than ever.
The catastrophic secret surrounding her grandmother’s death will place Josefine in the very center of a war that could kill her once and for all, along with every soul on earth.
Denise graduated with a master's in Social Work from an ivy league school and has spent many years of her life supporting families and individuals in need of assistance. She has always had a passion for writing, but it wasn't until her own baby boy was born that Denise turned her passion into her profession. Whenever Denise is not typing away on one of her books, you can find her caring for her son (a.k.a. one of the toughest jobs in the world), binging Netflix with her beloved husband, or chasing after her puppy (who should technically be an adult dog by now).

He ain’t no hero. But he’s not throwing a half-starved kid to the wolves…
