Kodiak Pembroke has hit rock bottom.
His parents are dead. He's estranged from his sister. And he has betrayed the love of his life, Olivia.
For Kodiak, the only solution (and not a logical one) is to head out to the Stannard Rock Lighthouse, a place coined "the loneliest place on the planet" by its keepers. He wants to feel the magic his father felt and more importantly, he wants to find some remnant of his father again.
On another island halfway around the world, Olivia is also trying to escape the past and Kodiak's betrayal, but what she finds instead is unexpected acceptance for what went wrong.
Two people. Two tragedies. Two stories. Two islands.

How to be Forever Alone [#Wattys2020]
|| 3rd Place, Teen Fiction winner of the Lavender Awards|| Right out of high school and starting her first year in university, Claire Paisley thought she knew what she wanted. Following in her father's footsteps seemed like the right thing to do to make her parents proud. There's only one problem, she doesn't actually want to be an accountant for the rest of her life. In fact, her brother telling her to drop out seemed like the best thing to have ever happened to her. Maybe for the first time, she'll finally take a leap of faith and question everything she thought she knew about herself. And ending up across the ocean, with her stupid advice column, might just grant her the wish she's always dreamed of, to know what it's like to be in love... and also learn what that means. ***Completed May 17th, 2019!!!***Complete

Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped.

Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!
