Three teenagers in Scarlet Bay have gone missing, and all fingers are pointing at 28-year-old Milena Scarlat. While Milena tries to find the teenagers and the person who framed her, she receives a text from someone from her past---someone who's supposed to be dead.
Former covert operative Flynn Ward knows he's on countless criminals' hit lists. When his best friend, Chase Knight, goes missing and he receives an ominous message, he knows the past is finally catching up with him.
Reunited by a common enemy, Milena and Flynn must deal with unresolved feelings and, with the help of a resourceful teenager and a (possibly) genetically enhanced cat, race against time to find the missing people.

East
/ complete / Life hasn't always been kind to East Winters, but for the most part, she's finally made peace with the incident three years ago that tore her family apart. The same can't be said for Edgecliff; half the town still won't look East in the eye, and the latest wave of petty crimes isn't helping. Two fires and a dead mom hardly prove her innocence. Even worse, Asher is back in town-but no matter how close they used to be, East can't forget what he did on that fateful night... As small incidents snowball into startling revelations, East begins to realize that there might be more to her family, more to her sleepy little town, more to even herself than she could've ever imagined. / best ranking: #25 in Paranormal / featured story in 2016, 2018 / Wattys 2018 longlistConcluída

After all, in a place where everyone has a reason to resent someone, it rarely takes much for resentment to become murder.Concluída

A Cabin for Christmas
When overworked finance executive Olivia Harper stares at one too many spreadsheets, she does what any burned-out 29-year-old would do: buys a charming log cabin in the mountains, sight unseen. Trading high heels for hiking boots and morning meetings for a wood stove, she arrives in Snowy Ridge ready for peace, quiet, and maybe even a touch of Christmas magic. What she finds instead is a drafty, fixer-upper that's more wilderness survival challenge than winter wonderland. With the help of the quirky locals, a few borrowed tools, and one infuriatingly helpful (and distractingly handsome) former resident, Olivia rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. As she learns to slow down and embrace the warmth of an unexpected community, she begins to wonder if this might be exactly what she needed all along. If you've ever dreamed of leaving it all behind, this cozy, funny, and heartwarming holiday romance is your perfect escape.Concluída

(Always) Across the street [The Watty's 2026]
Bee's life is sort of stable: she has a flat, a bipolar diagnosis she's getting a handle on. Well, as much as possible, considering she also has a personality that treats impulse control like a creative suggestion. Theo - her childhood neighbour, moral compass, and lifelong critic - has moved back into the apartment across the courtyard. Now he's in her bar. In her kitchen. In her friend group. And, judging by the way he pointed at the window last night, extremely aware of which bedroom is hers. They've spent the last decade living separate lives on purpose. Different cities, different people, one annual birthday party where they confirm they're still wildly incompatible and leave again. But Theo isn't leaving this time. And apparently, neither is the possibility of whatever they've spent ten years avoiding. Prompt: You will meet many people in your life. Many will come and go, but some will leave footprints on your heart.Concluída
