buried secrets
bury the child
A haunting modern gothic romance set against the windswept shores of Lake Superior.
Fleeing a violent and controlling marriage, Lacey Golden arrives in the remote town of River Pines, seeking sanctuary and a fresh start. She accepts a position as the manager of Hirondelle House, a decaying Victorian mansion perched precariously above the rocky cliffs of the lake shore. The house, long shrouded in local lore, is as enigmatic as its brooding and secretive owner, Giovanni Spada.
But Hirondelle House holds secrets of its own. Whispers in the hallways, the faint sound of a child’s laughter, and chilling dreams it clear that Lacey’s new refuge is as haunted as her own past. As she begins to unravel the tragic history of the house and its lingering spirits, she discovers unexpected parallels to her own story—ones that force her to confront the trauma she thought she had left behind.
Bury the Child is a gripping tale of survival and self-discovery, weaving elements of suspense, romance, and the supernatural. At its heart, it explores the generational trauma faced by women ensnared by legacies of domestic abuse—and the power of chosen family to break the cycle and transform lives.

Scarlett “Scottie” Hayes, bestselling romance author and reigning queen of happily-ever-afters, is in the middle of a crisis—she’s got a deadline looming and absolutely zero inspiration. So, she does what any sensible writer would do: she heads back to her quiet hometown of Cedarwood, where the pace is slow, the coffee is strong, and her high school ex-boyfriend, Josh Callahan, just happens to own the local bookstore. Yep, that Josh Callahan. Ethan’s brother. The one she never quite got over.
Their reunion is… complicated. Filled with awkward moments, lingering tension, and a whole lot of unfinished business. But as Scottie and Josh are forced to spend more time together—thanks to a town full of matchmakers and a few bookstore events—old feelings begin to resurface. And despite the past hurts between them, it’s clear their connection is still as strong as ever.
Now Scottie’s faced with two options: keep running from the story she’s been trying to avoid all these years, or finally embrace the possibility that this second chance might just be the best love story of her life.
Bound to Last is a heartwarming, witty tale of love, forgiveness, and finding your way back to the one who got away… even when you swore you were done for good.

troubled daughter
After a brutal breakup and a serious case of “what am I doing with my life?”, Clairy Reynolds escapes to her family’s lake house for the summer, hoping some fresh air and quiet mornings will heal her broken heart. She’s not looking for romance—she’s looking for peace, a few good books, and maybe a margarita or three.
Enter Nate Donovan, the local handyman with a smile that could melt an iceberg and eyes that say he’s been through a thing or two. Clairy feels an instant connection with him, despite the fact that he’s clearly hiding something. He’s charming, sure, but there’s an air of mystery around him that leaves her both intrigued… and a little hesitant.
As their summer fling starts turning into something more, Clairy has to ask herself if she’s ready to face not only Nate’s secrets but her own lingering fears about love and trust. Because when the truth finally comes out, she’ll have to decide if their connection is strong enough to weather the storm—or if it’s time to walk away for good.
With equal parts heart and humor, One Summer, One Secret is a swoon-worthy tale about love, healing, and finding the courage to dive in, even when the water’s a little murky.

strange silence
Evie Frost is perfectly content running her little café, The Hearth, in the quiet, snow-covered town of Frosthaven. Sure, it’s only open during the winter, but that’s when her enchanted teas and cozy hot chocolates do their best work. A dash of magic in every cup—enough to warm the heart, soothe the soul, and, occasionally, help a lonely customer find love. Evie’s not looking for love herself, mind you. She’s got the café, her friends, and more than enough on her plate.
Then in strolls Liam Montgomery, a globe-trotting travel writer who’s seen it all… except a place quite like Frosthaven. He’s only supposed to be in town long enough to write an article about the café’s legendary winter magic, but the more time he spends with Evie, the harder it becomes to imagine leaving. And as their connection grows over steaming mugs of tea and fireside chats, Evie starts to wonder if there’s a little magic left for her too.
But Liam’s life is all about moving on, and Evie’s never been one to take chances with her heart. As winter deepens and the holidays approach, they’ll both have to decide if they’re willing to risk everything for the sweetest magic of all—love.
Full of charm, warmth, and just a hint of magic, A Cup of Winter Magic is a feel-good romance that’s perfect for curling up with on a chilly day. And who knows? You might just believe in a little magic yourself.
