Lynn never asked for a second chance at love. Two years after losing her husband, she's pushed into a structured matchmaking program on the quiet coast. The rules are simple: scheduled dates, supervised meetings, and six months to decide whether a new beginning is possible. Lynn only plans to endure it until the program ends. Across the hall is Asher - the man the program has matched her with. Patient, observant, and far more willing to wait than she expects, he never pushes past the quiet walls Lynn has built around her grief. Week by week, through small conversations, shared walks, and moments that feel almost too fragile to trust, both of them begin to notice something shifting. Lynn never planned to feel anything again. Asher never expected waiting to matter this much. But when a program built on rules begins to feel like something real, they'll have to decide if the fragile connection growing between them is worth risking their hearts-and the future they never thought they would share.

"This is a slow-burning supernatural horror novel about five orphan brothers who grow up together beside a haunted lake in a small Indian town. As children, they are given names and a mysterious brass locket containing a photograph of five unknown children. Years later, they return to the abandoned house at the edge of the lake - and what unfolds over a single terrifying night forces each of them to confront their deepest fears, their loyalty to one another, and a very old evil that has been waiting for them their entire lives. It is not a gore-heavy horror story. The dread is psychological, the characters are deeply human, and the ending reveals that everything they experienced was part of a cycle that has been repeating for centuries."

There is no greater proof of a bond than testing its limits. In this Giant/tiny short story collection, those limits are physical as well as emotional. Each narrative explores drama, crisis, and what it means to exist in a world where perspective and power are scaled far beyond the familiar.

Content notes can be found at the beginning of each one. Happy reading!
