When Clara wakes up in a new world, she's no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future-she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who's more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table. With a thatched roof threatening to collapse, threadbare clothes barely holding together, and not a single coin to her name, Clara rolls up her sleeves. She's not here to be a tragic character. She's here to survive-and thrive. But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don't trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the "new wife" will run away. Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️

So, when she drives recklessly at eighteen, hits the mayor's son and leaves him bleeding out in a ditch, no one is surprised - least of all Charlie. Seven years later, she's out on parole and back in Grace River, face to face with the wreckage she left and the boy she almost destroyed. Even after all of these years, Weston Callahan can't stop loving Charlie, but he sure as hell won't forgive her. Now, West is a cop in a department that's way too cozy with the local MC. He's chasing shadows of meth labs, of missing women, and of Charlie Carter. He wants answers. She wants redemption. And in Grace River, nothing stays buried forever.

You don't get to decide when we're over." Silver Buchanan thought Ash Steele was out of her league. After a lifetime of feeling like she was never enough, she refuses to risk her heart and disappears without a word.

Their relationship was casual, but nothing about her is easy to forget. When their paths cross again, Ash is set on making her pay for walking away-no matter the cost. When danger threatens Silver's new life, Ash must decide whether he's ready to face his past, confront his feelings, and claim her for good-or let her go forever.
