She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series

She left to chase her dreams. She never thought she'd come back... or fall for him all over again. Lily thought she'd buried the past when she packed her bags and left the small town she grew up in behind for the bright lights of the big city. But when a family emergency pulls her back to the sleepy mountain town she once called home, old wounds begin to reopen-and one in particular wears a Stetson and a crooked smile that still makes her heart race. Ford never really got over Lily, no matter how many years have passed. Seeing her again is like striking a match-suddenly everything they had is blazing back to life. But between long-buried secrets, broken trust, and the life Lily swore she'd never return to, rekindling what they once had might come at too high a price. As temptation flares and emotions rise, Lily must decide: is her future the one she's built for herself in the city or in the arms of the cowboy she left behind? Heartfelt, sexy, and full of small-town charm, Fractured From the Fall is a second-chance romance about the love that lingers, the choices that define us, and the courage it takes to come home.

The perfect girl. The perfect life. The perfect murder. Caitlyn Coates had it all-beauty, brains, money, and a future as dazzling as her smile. With Yale on the horizon and graduation just weeks away, she should have been celebrating. Instead, she's dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's golden girl is a pinky finger, a clump of hair, and a red silk thong-clues that ignite a media frenzy and leave her affluent Chicago suburb reeling. Enter Detective Brandon, a seasoned cop with little patience for gossip and even less for lies. But in a community where appearances mean everything, everyone has a secret worth protecting. Paired with an eager rookie and hounded by relentless press coverage, Detective Brandon must navigate a web of privilege, envy, and betrayal to uncover the truth. Told through multiple perspectives-including Caitlyn's own chilling voice from beyond the grave-this twisting psychological thriller reveals that the deadliest lies aren't the ones spoken aloud, but the ones left unsaid. Highland Park has always looked perfect from the outside. But peel back the glossy surface, and you'll find that perfection can be deadly.
