It’s a long way from the grit of New York City to the stark beauty of Nova Scotia, and many years separate Blue Whitley’s only two journeys between them. One occurred at five years old, when his mother stole him away from the hinterlands of Canada. Now, twenty-five years later, he’s returning to sell a house left to him by a grandmother he barely remembers.
He plans the trip as a week of leisure, joined by his best friend, Elisa; her stalwart husband, Jason; and Gabe, Blue’s admiring young co-worker. Idyllic Starling Cove, however, is not your typical vacation spot.
Blue senses secrets withheld. Strange whispers on the wind welcome him home, pulling him toward the dense, dark woods. After a shocking discovery, life as he knows it falls apart, and the truth about Starling Cove begins to emerge...

[2024 WATTYS Shortlist] Academia is a different beast all together when a university is run by werewolves and your new dean is a literal Alpha. * * *
At twenty-five, Barlow Milligan is looking forward to starting her first job after grad school as an Assistant Professor at the prestigious Packard University. Little does she count on the quaint, upstate New York school being controlled by two rival packs of werewolves.
Luckily, the secretive factions have made peace, at least for now, through the promised union of Clayton Ward, Alpha of Allegheny pack and Gemma Calhoun, daughter of the leader of Black River pack.
That is, until Clayton sets his sights on making newcomer Barlow his Luna, instead.
But Barlow doesn't know how to control her wolf, nor has she ever been in a pack outside of her family before. Can she learn to fit in and more importantly, can she avoid being the cause of an all-out pack war?
