They say the red clay roads of Willow Creek turn sinners into saints and saints into something far more dangerous. Jasper Hale takes a new name-Levi Whitlock-and flees south with a Bible he doesn't deserve to hold. He wants redemption. He wants quiet. He wants to forget the blood on his hands and the family he abandoned. But the gods of these hills have other plans. Because Willow Bend has a girl of its own. Mary-Katherine Shepherd. Deacon's daughter. Oldest of five. The angel everyone expects to stay soft and small and good. But Jasper can feel the truth trembling beneath her ribs-fire disguised as gentleness, hunger she's been taught to hide, a secret life the town would never believe. The moment he meets her, something ancient sparks under his skin. Something he thought he'd buried with the name Jasper Hale. Something that feels a lot like fate. In a church built on dust and expectations, under the gaze of old gods who never stopped meddling, a war-worn preacher and a girl with clipped wings find themselves drawn together again and again. Neither of them should want this. Neither of them can stop. Some destinies scorch. Some burn. And some-on the red clay roads of Willow Bend-turn saints into sinners and sinners into something holy. NEW MOON --- BREAKING DAWN

Sunday Louise Kincaid was raised on superstition and sweet tea, the kind of girl who keeps salt in her pocket and won't whistle after dark. A folklore student from the hills of Kentucky, she's come to the rain-soaked edges of Washington State to study the Quileute tribe's living legends-how oral stories survive in modern teenage mouths. She's not here for trouble. She's here for truth. But trouble finds her anyway-in the form of a six-foot-five golden-eyed man built like a war god and smiling like sin. Emmett Cullen is everything she doesn't trust: too charming, too curious, and too present. Sunday doesn't fall easy, and she doesn't fall for pretty. Especially not when the whole town seems to hold its breath when he walks by. Then come the questions no one wants to answer. The stares. The tension. The forest that feels too quiet. The stories that sound too much like warnings. And the Cullens? They're not just a strange family-they're hiding something ancient. Something cold. Now Sunday's not just collecting legends. She's living one. And she's not sure whether to run-or start writing her own.

Jasper Hale was born to blood and war. He had worn the uniform of the Union, carried the weight of slaughter across centuries, and buried himself in the Cullens' false salvation. But guilt is a brand deeper than any scar, and when he nearly lost himself in Bella Swan's blood, Jasper knew he couldn't stay. He fled north, into the cold. Into exile. Into Montana. Elkhorn Ranch was meant to be penance. A place where the days were carved out of ice and bone, where silence pressed down heavier than the snow. He came there as a ghost, another drifter with calloused hands and eyes too old to meet. But fate had already marked him. Wyatt Rose Uley was branded long before Jasper laid eyes on her. Born in La Push, she had carried the weight of an absent father, a brother who turned into something monstrous after she ran, and a mother who had nothing left to give. Wyatt carved her own way out-eighteen years old, a duffel bag and a sharp tongue, rodeo summers and brutal winters that kept her alive. She was fire and grit. He was ash and ruin. And when they met, the world shifted. What began as barbs in the frozen dark bled into something more dangerous: a hunger that burned hotter than the firewood in the bunkhouse stove. He called her Rosebud when she spat curses at him. She called him pretty boy when she should have called him predator. They bickered, they laughed, and somewhere between, they bled into each other. He thought he had come to Montana to disappear. She thought she had come to Montana to survive. But Alice Cullen had already seen it-the long winter nights, the stars stretched like scars across the sky, the moment Jasper Hale would meet the woman who would undo him. Some bonds are forged in blood. Some loves are carved out of ruin. And some fires brand you forever. This is Branded. A Southern Gothic tale of ghosts, cowboys, and a love too sharp to let go.

Liora Clementine Crawford is not the quiet new girl. She's got wildfire hair, sharp blue eyes, and a voice like golden hour - loud, warm, and a little too honest. She paints on everything she owns, makes mixtapes like spells, and has no patience for the stares of small-town boys. When her mother - a chaotic artist - drags the family to Forks chasing "inspiration," and her mystery-writer father sets up shop to write his next novel, Liora figures she'll survive senior year the same way she always does: laughing too loud and pretending not to care. Then she meets Edward Cullen. Cold. Quiet. Perfect in the way Greek statues are perfect - carved, haunted, untouchable. He looks at her like she's a problem he can't solve. Like he's afraid to breathe too close. And for good reason. Because Edward Cullen - monster, mind-reader, forever seventeen - just met his mate. And she's not soft-spoken or submissive or safe. She's sunlight. All color and noise and soul. And he has no idea how to handle a girl made of fire when all he's ever known is shadow. She doesn't fall for him immediately. She calls him out. She jokes. She paints him without asking. And every time he tries to read her mind, all he hears is music and color and light. Liora isn't afraid of monsters. But Edward's afraid of her. Because fate gave him exactly what he needed. And now he has to become someone who deserves her.

Madeline "Murphy" Swan is back in Forks for one last wild summer before senior year of college-and she's not planning to spend it quietly. She's always been the loud one, the mess-maker, the party girl with paint on her jeans and trouble in her smile. But the boy she can't stop thinking about isn't just anyone: it's Sam Uley, La Push's golden boy, the one she's been trading late-night texts and secrets with since winter. This was supposed to be simple-one hot summer, no strings. Until Sam shows up on her doorstep, and something electric snaps the air between them. Now Sam is acting different, impossibly protective, and Murphy's not sure what's more dangerous: the way his eyes find her in a crowd, or the secrets he's hiding about the world they grew up in. With her twenty-first birthday on the horizon and the clock ticking down to August, Murphy's torn between the life she's built in Seattle and the wildfire thing sparking to life every time Sam looks at her. Add in a bickering little sister, a small town that never forgets, and a world where monsters and legends might be real, and Murphy's in over her head. This isn't Bella's story. Murphy's not waiting to be chosen-she's running straight at the storm, dragging Sam with her. And if fate wants a fight, she's not backing down.

some flames never meant to be lit still burn the longest. Rowan Carter isn't looking for forever. A nursing student from Seattle, she's just trying to survive her last semester of clinicals, pay rent on time, and avoid the kind of heartache she's seen hollow out the women in her family. Volunteering at the La Push community clinic was supposed to be simple-until a bonfire on the beach, two beers too many, and a beautiful boy named Sam Uley shifted something she didn't mean to feel. It was supposed to be casual. Uncomplicated. Quiet. Except Sam is already in a long-term relationship. One he never mentions. And two months later, Sam disappears-only to return changed, colder, sharper, eyes burning like something wild. When he sees her again, something in him snaps. Imprint. That's what they call it. Destiny, bonded souls, all that mythic, suffocating magic. But Rowan doesn't want fate. She wants the truth. Now caught between a love she didn't ask for, a betrayal she didn't cause, and a secret world she was never meant to see, Rowan has to decide: walk away, or burn in it. Tension-heavy. Elemental. Dangerous. A story about guilt, grief, and the slow, painful way we choose one another. This is not the imprint story you've read before. #1 vampiresandwerewolves 7/31/25 #4 jacobblack 7/30/25 #1 samuley 7/1/25
