Rose, determined to claim their father's wealth, manipulates the family in a cruel twist of fate. At just fifteen, Josh is coerced into replacing his twin brother, Jeff, and infiltrating Alicia's life. He is ordered to spy on her, all because Jeff is Alicia's closest friend.

But Rose's betrayal is only the beginning. A new, far greater danger lurks in the shadows, a threat that could tear their lives apart and leave them fighting for survival. Now, with the truth out and enemies closing in, the sisters and Josh must decide: will they set aside their differences, unite, and face the deadly new threat together? Or will the hatred, lies, and secrets divide them, allowing their enemies to destroy them one by one?
Into the Fog (Fisher's Bay 1) ✅
Nadia swore she would never be like her mother - running from a past that is as dense as the fog that rolls into the strange village of Fisher's Bay. And yet, here she is. In a town that she's never heard of, clearing out the house of a grandmother she never knew. Running from the biggest screw-up of her life that has left her without a career, her journalistic reputation in shambles. And yet, there's something in the town hidden on the coastline of the Pacific Northwest that draws her in, even though she is followed by stares and whispers, all revolving around her grandmother. Perhaps it's the sense of mystery that shrouds Fisher's Bay, or the secrets about her family that she hopes to uncover, like just why her mother left all those years ago, cutting both of them off from a seemingly loving family. Or maybe it's the handsome, yet standoffish mayor Remy Hutchinson who conjures up wants and dreams in Nadia that she had never considered. But when local fishermen start showing up dead, the town turns on her, thinking she's responsible. Nadia wants to believe she's innocent, but she isn't sure of who she is anymore, experiencing odd blackouts and dreams, often waking up in her bed covered in sand and dirt. She wants to run, but can't bring herself to do so. She wants to know all the secrets that Fisher's Bay holds. The question is: Is she ready for it? Book 1 in the Fisher's Bay Series Content Warning: There are mentions of substance abuse, child neglect, and mental health issues. Some violence (though not much in this one - mostly mentions of it). Oh, and some steamy scenes.Complete

He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive.

She tries not to siphon the feelings of those around her because well, stealing other people's emotions for her own gain isn't right. That's what her adoptive parents always told her. They taught her a lot of things, except who her biological parents are. Astra had only asked a dozen times and on the twelfth time, after getting the same answer, she stopped asking. Astra loves her adoptive parents, she was just curious about her history. One day when Astra goes to meet a local magic zoologist, she realizes this man and his brother may have the answers to her family history she's been looking for. Or maybe they don't; either way they're connected to her family history somehow and Astra's going to find out.Complete

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
