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.

ineffable, (a.) too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. IN WHICH vada hartley doesn't just remember-she feels. every wound, every whisper, every trace of the past buried in the things people leave behind. it's a gift. or a curse. depending on the day. sent to join the FBI's off-the-books naturals program, vada finds herself surrounded by other teens trained to see what others can't. but while the others analyze from a distance, vada sinks into the emotional weight of every case. and it's getting harder to come back up. michael townsend understands that kind of heaviness-the need to take on hurt before it has the chance to break anyone else. he recognizes something in vada that he doesn't have words for. he's not sure he wants to. dean redding sees it too. her softness. her strength. the way her pain mirrors his own in all the worst ways. the three of them are caught in something raw and unspoken, but there's no time to untangle it-not when the past is clawing its way back into the present. and vada can feel it coming. vada has an emotive memory: the instinctive ability to absorb, retain, and relive the emotional states of others tied to specific memories or environments. im simpler terms: vada doesn't just remember events-she remembers how it felt for everyone involved. she experiences emotional energy attached to people, places, and moments. sometimes it's a gift. sometimes it's too much. *lowercase intended* *BOOK 1*

Estrella Ibarra-Bàzan was the newest recruit to the FBI's Naturals program. Growing up with addicts for parents made her good at something most weren't good at: she could remember anything she heard and anything she saw. It was a skill she learned from a young age when her parents coached her on exactly what to tell Child Protective Services, what to say when her teachers asked questions, even how to hide things if the police got called on them again. Luckily for the FBI, it was valuable. Estrella could sketch out a crime scene and point out things some agents missed. She didn't need to see the tapes to remember an interview. Crimes were solved faster because of her. Lia Zhang was the second Natural when the program started. Escaping a cult and living on the streets definitely wasn't the way for any child to live. And lucky for her, the FBI knew that, too. Being a human lie detector and a polygraph tester's worst nightmare was her gift. If you could call it that. It's what got her picked for the Naturals program, at the very least. Knowing when a suspect is lying and being able to seamlessly come up with anything on the spot was what she was best at. It's what made her valuable to the FBI- and to anyone who wanted to play an intense game of Truth or Dare. The more the two get to know each other, the more a bond starts to build. But Estrella doesn't know if she could trust a liar, and getting Lia to let her walls down is something even the top agents wouldn't be able to do. Love can burn like a cigarette and leave you with nothing.

Colette Campbell never planned on joining a secret FBI program for teens with special abilities-but when you've got a photographic memory, a knack for noticing the tiniest details, fate kind of takes the wheel. Fresh off the beaches of Miami Colette's ready to prove herself among the Naturals. But blending in isn't easy when you're the new girl surrounded by hardened prodigies-and especially when one of them is Michael Townsend, the unreadable heartthrob who pushes every button Colette has. He's charm with a smirk, trauma with a jawline, and suddenly he's looking at her like maybe, just maybe, she's more than the sunshiney distraction in a hoodie. As a chilling new case starts picking off victims with frightening precision, Colette realizes that memory isn't the only thing that can haunt you-and falling for someone in a house full of secrets might just be the most dangerous instinct of all.
