A gritty family drama about a traumatized runaway teen girl, her bewildered older brothers, and the healing power of music, love, and pancakes. She's about to turn their lives upside down... On a freezing Seattle night, teenager Wynter shows up on Caleb's doorstep in shorts and sandals, seeking help. Seeking sanctuary from an abusive cult. Claiming to be his sister. Caleb-Coast Guard hero with the perfect girlfriend-practically raised his two younger brothers. He always plays by the rules. He always wins. His duty is clear: give his little sister a home. Pancakes for breakfast, rock music in the basement... Wynter knows she belongs here. But when the authorities step in, will Caleb realize he needs to bend the rules? His brothers could teach him a thing or two about that... Jesse-freshman science wiz and a legend in his own mind-takes on the momentous task of educating Wynter. Indio-talented musician with a sarcastic tongue to hide his pain-could be her role model, but he's more interested in getting wasted than coming home for the weekend. These two young men are still growing up, but they understand that sometimes... Love is not enough. Trapped in the foster care system, struggling to navigate middle school cliques, and with her dreams of a united family fading, Wynter is offered love from an unexpected direction. Will she turn her back on Caleb's promises, on Jesse's guidance, on Indio's acceptance, and take the chance to start over? Join Wynter and her brothers on a heartrending and humorous journey through elementary particles, power chords, and the many meanings of love. Book 1 of the Wynter Wild series, a contemporary adult family drama with mature themes. Available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and audiobook. https://books2read.com/01lss CONTENT WARNINGS: The series includes or refers to: child abuse, drug use, animal cruelty, not-very-graphic sex and violence, mental health issues, adult relationships, and gratuitous '70s rock music references.

MISTBORN x GAME OF THRONES *Wattpad YA profile Featured story* If Cadence had said no to a blood spirit, the noble family she worked for would still be alive. Her brother wouldn't be conscripted into the Hall of Games. She wouldn't have to follow him and be a soldier for the rest of her life. Her Papa would still have his head. A close brush with death awakens her necromancy abilities, and she becomes hell-bent on resurrecting her father. However, necromancy is forbidden, and if her secret is exposed, the Hall of Games will execute her. As her new powers demand more than her body can ever give, it will ultimately push her humanity to its limits-if saving her father doesn't destroy her first.

Bronwyn Larson has spent her whole life not depending on her mother, a constantly recovering addict, until the moment her life was literally torn apart when an EF4 tornado ripped through their trailer park and her mom is found dead, miles away after the storm. Suddenly, her estranged father is a part of her life, a prominent state senator who's been absent since Bronwyn was born, a product of her parents' secretive affair. After living alone with her mother in a trailer for seventeen years, Bronwyn now has a stepmother and four new siblings, including an older brother and sister who seem skeptical, if not actually disproving, of Bronwyn living with them. While staying with them in their vacation lake house an hour away from what she called home, Bronwyn is hit with the bombshell that her mother's death is being treated as suspicious, with injuries inconsistent of being killed during the tornado. Estranged from everyone she knows, except her estranged new family, Bronwyn doesn't know who trust or who to believe about her mother's death. Torn between her life as the daughter of a single drug addict and the middle child of a well-respected senator, all while learning more about the mother she thought she knew, Bronwyn is forced to navigate through this new unfamiliar life alone, with this gut feeling she has. That her mother's killer isn't unfamiliar. 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐘 18th 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒 Cover designed by Ashley Bandy
