Orphaned through a double homicide... check. Shipped off to Vermont to live with a rule-abiding, overprotective, middle-aged godfather and his perfect family... check. Losing a lucrative natural products business and clientele base... check. True, Karma's threefold retribution is not the sixteenth birthday gift that Nan expects, but it's exactly what she needs.
Cordeleya "Nan" Hammock is a self-described loner who cherishes her self-reliance, independence, and freedom, buys into conspiracy theories, and has a healthy distrust of technology. Within a month of her relocation to Vermont, she befriends the prettiest girl at the Academy, blurs the friendship line with her best friend from home, and despite her best efforts, gets suspended from her new high school... four times. But with the passage of mandatory LEASH laws, constant camera surveillance, a draft for a war she doesn't believe in, and school personnel who pose an imminent threat, Nan just might lose it all... again.
Join the quest to live unLEASHed.
Lauren Courcelle's Young Adult debut, unLEASHed, is the first book in a brand-new, futuristic series. It is a departure from her other books as it is intended for readers ages 14+ due to obscenities, violence, and mature situations.
Aurora has never lived in the light.
Raised in a world where loyalty is currency and power decides survival, she learned early that trust is a liability - and weakness is unforgivable. Trained to fight, to obey, to endure, Aurora wasn't shaped for freedom. She was forged to be useful.
For years, she followed the path laid out for her, rising through an elite circle where secrets are sharper than blades and allegiance can turn fatal in an instant. Control was her armour. Discipline her shield. And believing in the rules was the only way to stay alive.
Until everything breaks.
A single presence disrupts the balance she's spent her life perfecting - dragging
doubt and danger into her carefully controlled world.
As Aurora reels from a painful fracture in her life and begins to unravel the truth behind the newcomer, she discovers that escape is an illusion. The past she tried to outrun is closer than she ever imagined.
Because in a world built on shadows, nothing is ever truly left behind.
Secrets resurface. Loyalties fracture. And the forces that made Aurora who she is are not ready to let her go.
In a game of power, betrayal, and survival, Aurora must decide what she's willing to lose - and who she's willing to become - when the past comes back to collect its debt.
