Ivey Pierce is an explorer, and thanks to her career as a wildlife biologist, she does not stay stationary for long. But when her parents die in a terrible accident, and her childhood home is left vacant for two years, she returns to the tattered memories concealed inside the house on Clifton Bay. Everything is the same: the salty scent, lush scenery, and talkative town. Yet, one thing is new-the man across the bay, whose dock faces hers. Each evening, she watches her new neighbor sit with his dog and a cup of coffee, then disappear during the day. He is the only person who does not know her business, and she knows nothing about him. It is not until she gets hurt and discovers he is Weston Turner, the new Nurse Practitioner in their coastal town. Soon enough, they are swept up in one another's current, trying to stay afloat. ************* Short novel [roughly 55-60k words] Copyright of Anna Steffey All rights reserved.

Homeland is an abstract concept. Homeland is not the place where you were born, but the place where you feel at home. You cannot call a country where you are not free and where you are not judged fairly, homeland. It is not your place. Your home becomes your prison. This time we are fighting for JUSTICE... *** • I would rather be killed than kill. • But not everyone has to use their conscience like you. They might want to put an end to these idiots and all of this. • If I don't deserve to live among these fools, I'd rather be killed and be free. Killing corrupts the human soul, whether you leave this world as a just man or continue as a dictator. • Well? • Justice gives life, not death! *** Recently, the number of Arweinç citizens who came to the country as refugees has been increasing. They're not even refugees anymore. There are Arweinç lawyers, prosecutors, judges in the courthouses... Almost all doctors in hospitals and 25% of universities are Arweinç...

Leonia and William? Yeah, they don't exactly get along. She thinks he's an arrogant show-off. He thinks she's allergic to fun. Basically: oil, meet water.
