That was the first warning.
The second?

It was already waiting for me.
And this time... I'm not running.

Surfacing - Book One in the Swans Landing Series
Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing. But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface. As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning. SURFACING is currently available in ebook format from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, iTunes, Smashwords, and other ebook retailers. Available in audiobook from Audible, and in print at Amazon.

Za polárním kruhem
Daleko na severu, kde Vánoce nejsou žádná pohádka ale tvrdá dřina, dostává mladá Noelle Klausová konečně šanci zazářit. Vysněná praxe v rodinné firmě ji však zavede mnohem dál než do elfích dílen, po kterých tolik toužila. Čekají ji svátky pod jižním sluncem, dvorské hostiny na chladné Sibiři a noví lidé, kteří od ní často chtějí víc, než je připravená dát. A s každou další cestou začíná Noelle vidět svět jinak. Finn naopak nikdy netoužil po dalekých cestách a bláhové sny jsou luxus, který si nemůže dovolit. Stará se o sobí letku, plní příkazy a ví, že v Klausově světě má každý své místo - a že některé meze se zkrátka nepřekračují. V doprovodu dědičky Klausova impéria však začínají hranice mezi povinností a vlastními touhami pomalu roztávat.
The Allreaching Knife
Everything in young Lord Rivien's life is as precise as the sweep of his sword. It has to be: with a dead princess for a mother, an absentee general for a father, and a nursemaid peddling dangerous fairytales to his siblings, precision is the only tool he has to keep his family in order. No matter if it hurts them in the short term. It's the only way to protect them. But when a passionate, poetry-tongued girl invades his dreams and begs him to save her from the monsters hunting her, he'll find himself far from order and even farther from his family. Whatever it takes to get back, he'll do. He'll cast any spell, cut through any monster, spill any blood -- no matter how much that cold determination scares the girl he came to rescue. But if he's not careful, he'll find the most dangerous monsters aren't the ones he can cut through. _______________________ Cover © 2026 Avadel Ink Authorized solely on wattpad.com/avadel Updates Mondays & Fridays
ARC10
[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL MontezComplete
