After her father's death, Sue Reid takes over his little antiquities and souvenirs shop in the small town of St. Margarets Bay, near Dover. A village, which has brought her nothing but misfortune so far, and yet, after all these years, its streets, which Sue thought to know like the back of her hand, still bare a few secrets in their shadows. And slowly, one after another, these mysteries and hidden figures reveal themselves, some to Sue's delight, some to her great horror.

He's got it all - the popularity, a promising future, friends, and the adoration of an entire town. But there's always a price to pay. SECRET: A letter from a secret admirer flips the casual rhythm of Gabriel's life on its head, and when he decides to secretly pursue his five-year crush, the letters and messages begin to take on an ominous intonation threatening to burn the foundations of his successes. SUSPECT: Gabriel learns that his secret admirer is a greater threat than expected. His relationship outed to the semi-religious town of Shaw, Gabriel becomes the suspect in the murder of a schoolmate.

When a friend goes missing, Gabriel and his friends must finish what their missing friend started and hopefully find him before it is too late. SERPENT: Gabriel finally pieces the puzzle together. The attacks, the letters, the messages, and the evidence - they all portray a side that is never shown and always hidden. It portrays the tactics of a mastermind in the making - a sociopathic psychopath, and all evidence points to one person Gabriel would never think to suspect. A wolf in sheep's clothing, a silver-tongued serpent. Gabriel must now confront this masterminded criminal before anyone else around him gets hurt.

30 parts Complete Mature
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.
