In a perfect world, Beau Karlin and her brother Nathan would still be living with their biological parents in their childhood home back near London. Nathan wouldn't be a permanent resident in the 'Lake House: Home for the mentally ill' and Beau wouldn't be trapped in a nightmare relationship.
The world isn't perfect though, that they know for sure. And as Nathan continues to struggle with his mental stability and Beau finds it harder to remain strong the pair need a way out and they need it fast.
Hearing voices coming from the locked attic bedroom that once belonged to a boy who drowned himself is seemingly just a story that comes as the result of Nathan's over-reactive mind.
Being rescued from her abusive lover by a boy that smells like fresh lake water is just something Beau overlooks but perhaps Japan's 'Red string of fate' theory is actually a scary reality...

Home is a Four Letter Word
(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.Complete
