"I don't care if I have to kill every damn bootlegger in Georgia, I'm going to keep you safe."
--------------------------
Sixteen-year-old Agnes Miller lives in Pausel, Mississippi, a sleepy town where a kid spraining his ankle would make front page news. It's the summer of 1929, and Agnes is busy fishing and throwing rocks at church women. Her life is simple, free, and wonderful.
That is, until her brother makes an unexpected visit home while on break from college. He brings with him his fiance, nineteen-year-old Lottie Furlong. Agnes is immediately captivated by Lottie's stunning appearance and warm, inviting personality. Her happiness for her favorite brother is quickly overshadowed by her own stirring emotions.
It soon comes to light that Lottie is not her brother's future wife, but instead a fugitive from the law. Lottie has blood on her silky smooth hands and it's about to put everyone around her in danger.

*Wattys Winner 2022* Charles Abbot is finally living the life he has always dreamed of. At only 25, he has managed to turn his unique magical ability of copying memories into a profitable business. However, his comfortable life is shattered when he is tricked by a thief into extracting a dangerous memory. Not only does it reveal that there's a cult murdering children in their city, but by possessing this memory, Charles' life--and the lives of everyone close to him--are now in danger. Recruiting the help of a gay potion-maker and a ten-year-old lightning-wielding prodigy, Charles must now find that thief and try to put an end to this cult's workings. But it won't be easy.
