A life shattered by betrayal. A murder she cannot remember. A future hanging in the balance. When Dr. Jade Bellamy becomes the prime suspect in her coworker’s brutal death, her search for peace turns into a desperate fight for justice. With her freedom at stake and painful secrets resurfacing, an unexpected connection with defense attorney Daniel Michaels could change everything.
Some stories entertain. Others give a voice to experiences often left unspoken. For debut novelist Nicola Valencia, storytelling is a meaningful way to explore human suffering, justice, faith, and the courage to begin again.
In Altars of Redemption, Nicola blends psychological suspense, courtroom drama, and heartfelt romance to examine betrayal, workplace bullying, and emotional healing. Inspired by music, cinema, and artistic expression, her storytelling reflects an appreciation for creativity and the complexities of human relationships.
Beyond the written page, Nicola finds happiness in dogs, cats, horses, waterfalls, chandeliers, tote bags, soccer, and ice cream. Her travels have taken her to many beautiful destinations, but Chinchón, Spain, holds a special place in her heart. With her debut novel introducing readers to her literary voice, she is currently working on her second book, with publication planned for the new year.
A murder without answers. A woman without memories. A truth buried beneath deception. Dr. Jade Bellamy’s hopes for a peaceful new beginning collapse when she awakens beside her murdered coworker, unable to recall what happened. Pregnant, traumatized, and accused of a crime she cannot remember, Jade faces a terrifying battle to prove her innocence.
Her only hope may lie with Daniel Michaels, a seasoned defense attorney whose determination to uncover the truth grows into something deeply personal. As disturbing secrets surface and loyalties are tested, their unexpected bond challenges everything Jade believes about trust and love. Altars of Redemption is a gripping journey through betrayal, justice, and the extraordinary strength it takes to reclaim a life.
