She comes home believing it's the same night she left-bruised, shaken, asking about butter and planning a shower-only to find a house that feels older, quieter, wrong. Her family looks at her like she might vanish if they breathe too hard. Slowly, unbearably, the truth emerges: she has been dead for five years. No one knows how she returned. There is no miracle to explain, no science to cling to-only the wreckage of a life mourned, a family reshaped by loss, and a town that learned how to move on without her. As she tries to understand a world that grieved her and closed the door, her return begins to disturb something deeper beneath the surface-an unseen thread connecting past and present, memory and meaning, drawing in forces that have been watching far longer than anyone realises. The Night Skye Came Home is a quiet, devastating mystery about love that never lets go, grief that changes shape, and what happens when the dead refuse to stay where the world put them.

Luna For Hire
After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.
