Leona Davis stopped being a child the day her father was led away in handcuffs. Seven years later, she's twenty-five and carrying the weight of a family that refuses to stand on its own. In the fixer-upper 2-bedroom house located at 656 Twiddle Lane, Bend Grove, Leona is the provider, the protector, and the only barrier between her siblings and the street. With her mother lost to spiraling habits and her stepfather adding more burden than support, Leona has sacrificed her education and her heart to keep Cory, Lexi, and Ollie safe. She's become the mother they weren't supposed to need, and the sister they can't afford to lose. As the pressure of the world closes in and her siblings begin to see the world in a different light, Leona is forced to confront the reality she's been outrunning: even the strongest tether frays under pressure. And when it snaps, the Davis family may lose the only person holding them together.

She was nineteen when the world ended. She was eighty when she finally laid it down. Between those years lived a life no one could erase. In 1829, Sarah Wright was sentenced at Newgate Prison and transported to New South Wales aboard the Lord Sidmouth. Shackled, pregnant, and alone, she enters a world designed to break her. But Sarah does not break. She survives the voyage. She survives the men who would use her. She survives the loss of a child, the lash, the hunger, the grief. She survives love twice. And she builds a family that will carry her name long after she is gone. Beyond the Chains is the sweeping, intimate story of a real woman who refused to be defined by the punishment forced upon her. Through heartbreak, resilience, and fierce devotion to her children, Sarah Wright becomes more than a convict - she becomes a matriarch, a pioneer, and the quiet heart of a legacy. Her life was hard. Her life was extraordinary. And now, her story is finally told.

Luken Hunt is a virgin. A 23 year-old, NHL-playing, star-forward virgin. He's spent years dodging the post-game parties, the groupies, the endless opportunities that come with being a pro athlete. He's too focused on hockey, too awkward, too... completely out of his depth when it comes to women. Then Brooklyn Launder walks into his life.
