The first time I met Weston, he was my psychologist. I never planned to see him again. We lived in two different worlds. He was responsible. I was reckless. He was the good guy. They'd labeled me as out-of-control. He was harmony on a warm beach day. I was the hurricane that erupted through. But one night, I call him to rescue me. And he does more than that.

What is love? What can love drive us to do? In these stories, love pushes us to revenge, to reach beyond the boundaries of life and death. To rescue a family member. To fight the good fight without even knowing it, or to risk everyone and everything to save someone who may or may not be worthy. To make the wrong decisions and walk into hell. To transcend who we are. Love can make us both the best and worst versions of ourselves.

It's 2004 in Minneapolis, and Hazel Ford is an English teacher at a diverse urban high school, where she loves discussing The Great Gatsby with her Advanced Placement students. Plus, she's crazy about her fiancé/fellow high school teacher, Vance. But when the two of them are involved in a horrific car accident, everything comes crashing down, leaving Hazel with a traumatic brain injury and no memory of the accident - or of her supposed breakup with Vance.

When Hazel's brilliant but troubled student Febe reveals dark secrets about Vance, Hazel must navigate through the twists and turns of self-discovery, risking everything - even her own safety - to protect those she loves most and uncover disturbing truths that were buried deep.

Beautiful Little Furies, Laurel Osterkamp's stunning new novel of redemption, reinvention, and female empowerment, reminds us that secrets can change lives forever and some chances must be taken, no matter the cost.

For as long as anyone can remember, those cursed with ebb-magic have been marked for death by the gods. Sayer has always known his fate: he was given seventy-two years of life before he must become a sacrifice. His sister was only promised ten. Now the Blood Hours are set to begin-twenty-eight nights of slaughter, where priests on the hunt compete with the brutal elements to claim the life of each ebber mage slated to die. Sayer is determined to save his sister by entering with her and making sure they survive to see dawn on the final day. But Sayer has done dark things to carve out a place in the Hours early, and a priestess with her own grief lurks in the winter-dark forest. Hungry for revenge and willing to do anything to hurt the man who murdered her brother, she kills his sister that very first night. With every future he dared hope for spattered in his sister's blood, there is nothing keeping Sayer from becoming the monster ebbers are thought to be; wielders of an uncontrollable, deadly power. It's only when he meets Ever-a girl with no fear of their magic and the knowledge to help him master it-that Sayer is given one last chance. If they can survive, there may be a way to save his sister. But Ever isn't telling the whole truth, and when secrets shatter everything Sayer once believed about the gods and the Blood Hours, he must find his own way to save his loved ones-and maybe even himself.

﻿﻿Eden Yates never expected to end up on the wrong side of the law. She's a free spirit, but not a criminal. But two years after her last relationship ends, she finds herself answering questions about her ex's illegal dealings. Safe to say she isn't interested in another relationship, especially one where she has to be someone she's not. She's spent years finding herself and if experience has taught her anything, being in a partnership always leaves one person broken. Enter Ted Hughes. He's a lawyer and as buttoned up as they come. Ted is looking for forever, but he just hasn't found the right woman yet. It's definitely not the free-spirited artist too naïve to realize that she needs an attorney. Of course he's going to help her. Ted can't walk away from a damsel in distress. It has nothing to do with how cute she is. Eden doesn't enjoy being in anyone's debt. Ted helped her so she'll help him. All he needs is a wedding date and who doesn't love weddings? Aside from sizzling chemistry, they have absolutely nothing in common. There's nothing for them to worry about, right? It's one weekend away. They'll even put it in writing. No sex, no feelings, just a favor for a favor. Maybe they both should have studied the fine print.

Book #1: Lockwood Trology

For Natalie Covington and Henry Thorne, only one thing is certain: things are about to get out of control. 18-year-old Natalie has big ambitions but very little control over her situation. She's trapped at an elite boarding school on a private island, where cell phones are forbidden, militant guards line the iron gates, and her practically prearranged boyfriend has eyes for another girl. Everything changes when a mysterious new student arrives named Henry Thorne. Henry is a "precog"-a hidden society of people who can see the future, and who are forbidden to reveal their powers. When Henry has a grisly vision of Natalie being murdered, he ultimately decides to save her and face the consequences. But the consequences of changing the future are more dangerous than Henry imagined, unlocking a wide conspiracy among his kind that's linked to Natalie's past, and a desire that threatens to consume them. CONTROL is the first installment in the Lockwood Trilogy. This fast-paced Upper YA Paranormal Romance is filled with thrilling turns, self-discovery, spicy language, light steam, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you obsessing for more.

Imagine if you could travel back in time and relive one weekend as your sixteen year-old self - would you change anything? Everything wrong with Craig Pelling's life can be traced back to 1986 and the moment he popped in to a newsagent for a can of Coke. Now in his mid-forties, all he has to look back on is twenty-five years of marriage to a woman he doesn't love and an unfulfilled career selling electrical goods. He could have been so much more, achieved so much more. But as bitter as Craig feels about his mundane existence, fate hasn't finished with him yet. A series of unfortunate events pushes the hapless Craig to breaking point as his life crumbles around him. All looks lost until he's thrown a lifeline - the miraculous lifeline of a brief trip back to 1986, to relive one weekend as his sixteen year-old self. Will he be able to change his future for the better? Is it as simple as just reverting one decision he made over thirty years ago? Craig is about to find out. A future best-seller in the making - early readers are loving 'The '86 Fix'... "If you lived through the 1980s and love a good story, you MUST put this on your reading list." "One of those rare books that will keep you turning pages way beyond bedtime." "I absolutely love this book! It's made me laugh out loud, mourn my past youth and be thankful for what I have." "Thoroughly enjoyable and a refreshing change to the type of books I usually go for." "Absolutely loved it and read it in one sitting, even though I finished it at 2am on a work night." "This is a book for people who don't usually read sci-fi or time-travel books. It's a book for people who enjoy a dollop of British nostalgia, and a good laugh. Above all else though, it's a book for people who want a real page-turner. If you want a book you can't put down, this is it." "I laughed a lot, cried a little and nearly wet myself at the end." "Witty, clever, and a bit brilliant!"

Requiem for the Mortal Elves

Actually, he was beheaded by an infamous drug smuggler of the tropics. Tortured and killed at the hands of the desert's mortal king for his crimes. Perhaps he is not dead at all.The half-mortal bastard son of an elf duke, Sólan de Ciudelago learned to cheat death as a child. His mere existence has tumbled the Eastern Lands into the largest genocide against his own kind: The Crusade of Light. The fragile peace between red-blooded men and silver-blooded elves is fraying. Alliances and rulers' strongholds are waning. The Eastern Lands are on the verge of a second Great War in a millennium.Until now, Sólan's lot in life was to smother his past and fight the desert's slave market. Memories, however, are fickle things that can return with no warning. Now, he must face his trauma to topple more than just the desert's economy. He must now work with former enemies and an unlikely lover to quell the coming war that he caused. Will his blood be the ink that seals the suit for peace? Or, is he naught but a pawn in a much more sinister plot against the balance between day and night?

This is an ARC and will be out January 16, 2024 in Hardback. 

In the vein of Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware, a bold and suspenseful psychological thriller about a young woman with a rare neurological condition who is convinced her neighbor is going to be murdered.

Leah has been living with akinetopsia, or motion blindness, since she was a child. For the last twenty years, she hasn’t been able to see movement. As she walks around her upper Manhattan neighborhood with her white stick tapping in front, most people assume she’s blind. But the truth is Leah sees a good deal, and with her acute senses of smell and hearing, very little escapes her notice.

She has a quiet, orderly life, with little human contact beyond her longtime housekeeper, her doctor, and her elderly neighbor. That all changes when Alice moves into the apartment next door and Leah can immediately smell the anxiety wafting off her. Worse, Leah can’t help but hear Alice and a late-night visitor engage in a violent fight. Worried, she befriends her neighbor and discovers that Alice is in the middle of a messy divorce from an abusive husband.

Then one night, Leah wakes up to someone in her apartment. She blacks out and in the morning is left wondering if she dreamt the episode. And yet the scent of the intruder follows her everywhere. And when she hears Alice through the wall pleading for her help, Leah makes a decision that will test her courage, her strength, and ultimately her sanity.
