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.

Colette Campbell never planned on joining a secret FBI program for teens with special abilities. Around her, everyone is dealing with their own version of growing up. Sloane says whatever comes to mind, even when she shouldn't. Lia acts like she has control over everything, even when she's just as unsure as the rest of them. Cassie keeps parts of herself hidden, and Dean tries to be steady for everyone else while still navigating his own feelings. Together, they feel like a family and something way more complicated. Then there's Michael Townsend. What starts as teasing, and shared moments turns into something neither of them fully plans for. Their dynamic is easy, understanding each other in ways they don't always say out loud. For Coco, it's new territory. After holding herself back for so long, being around Michael starts to challenge that, making her question whether she's ready to let something real happen again. The adults Judd, Sterling, and Briggs are meant to guide them, but they're not perfect. Their own complicated relationships and blurred boundaries make things messier, especially as the teens start wanting more independence and involvement in real cases. As the group gets pulled into more serious situations, they have to balance learning how to handle danger with still being teenagers dealing with friendships, feelings, and everything in between. It's a story about growing up in a place that isn't normal, with people who don't always have the answers, and figuring out who you are powers, emotions, and all while everything around you keeps moving forward. And in the end enjoy being a teenager
