JJ Maybank never got the chance to meet his daughter. Before he could hold her, hear her laugh, or watch her grow up, JJ died while Kiara was pregnant. For weeks, Kiara had no idea she was going to have a baby. It wasn't until a few weeks before her due date that she discovered she was carrying JJ's daughter. YN. A girl who would grow up hearing stories about the father she never knew. A father everyone remembered as reckless, loyal, fearless, and completely devoted to the people he loved. Kiara raised YN with JJ's memory always close, making sure her daughter knew that even though JJ never got to meet her, he had loved her before he ever knew she existed. Years later, YN isn't the only one carrying the legacy of the original Pogues. Four kids-raised on stories of treasure hunts, danger, friendship, heartbreak, and the adventures their parents survived-are now old enough to create stories of their own. They grew up hearing about the Pogues. They grew up hearing about the gold, the lost treasure, the enemies, the betrayals, and everything their parents went through on the Outer Banks. But they never expected to follow in their footsteps. Until the past comes back. Now, YN and the other three kids are pulled into an adventure of their own-one that forces them to uncover secrets their parents thought were buried forever. They may have inherited their parents' stubbornness, loyalty, and reckless sense of adventure... But this time, they're writing their own story. Four kids. Four families. One legacy. And an adventure that will prove that the Pogue life never really ends.

When Charlotte Pembroke inherits Bellwether Books, she plans to settle the estate, close the shop, and return to the life she left behind. Instead, she finds a neglected garden, a tin of old seeds, a stubborn yellow chair, and Adrian Wells-the quiet handyman who seems to know every broken gate, crooked shelf, and hidden corner of the place. Adrian believes gardens are meant to be shared. Charlotte believes they are expensive, impractical, and full of weeds.

A Quiet Season is a tender, slow-burn romance about books, gardens, grief, chosen community, and the courage to leave the gate open.

Beck, a beautiful and privileged young woman, reflects on her past with a mix of self-awareness, entitlement, and vulnerability. She's always known how to play roles-whether it's the dutiful daughter, the high school queen bee, or the object of desire for classmates and admirers. Her beauty has always been her currency, and she's wielded it to secure attention, favors, and even academic support. In college, though, Beck meets her match in Jackson-a brilliant, awkward, and socially unaware freshman who doesn't fall at her feet like the others. He's kind, intelligent, and emotionally sincere, which both intrigues and confuses her. Used to being worshipped, Beck finds herself thrown off by Jackson's emotional intelligence, his refusal to be manipulated, and the way he sees through her confident facade. Their connection unfolds with complexity. Beck is initially drawn to Jackson because of the intrigue surrounding his rumored sexual prowess (shared between girls in her social circle). What she finds instead is something much deeper-someone who treats her like a human being rather than an icon. Jackson isn't the typical college guy; he's nerdy, direct, and wildly intelligent, often using metaphors and logic to explain everything from accounting to emotional dynamics. Their budding romance is filled with awkward starts, miscommunications, and moments of surprising emotional intimacy. Beck, for the first time, begins to experience love and connection not based on status or seduction, but on respect and vulnerability. As she drops her performative layers, she discovers what it means to be truly seen. ------ Ebook will released in June 30th in this year and a physical copy will coming soon.
