Crimson Instincts

Clara thought freedom lived in neon lights, loud music, and a drink that never emptied.
But the life she chased—stripping, drinking, and disappearing—cost her everything, including the two boys she left behind.

When she finally chooses to come home, bruised, sober, and desperate to rebuild, she discovers the hardest part isn't facing her family…it's learning how to face herself.
But as she struggles through withdrawals, guilt, and learning how to be a mother again, her past refuses to stay quiet.

This is the story of a woman trying to earn the life she once threw away—one fragile day at a time.
