Falling for my football star vacation fling? Inevitable. Unless he turns out to be a murderer… Okay, that's unlikely. But after my straight-laced, seemingly upstanding ex turned out to be an international drug dealer, trust doesn't come easily. Enter Law Card, the new Houston Pumas tight end, your typical boy-next-door. He's maddeningly patient with my suspicious, true-crime obsessed self.

In the wake of death and betrayal, Vala flees the island of Garlin with Xavyn in search of the truth about her identity. To find the answers they seek, they must first cross The Divide - a mass of cloud and fog that has separated human lands from the rest of the world for hundreds of years. As they pass through what is meant to kill all who draw near, a surge of magic emerges, bringing death to some and more power to others. In turn, The Divide is weakened, the fog dissolving enough to reveal what lies beyond, reigniting thoughts of war between sides.

For the Lovely, there are two defining days in life, three if they’re fortunate. The first is at birth, when the one with whom they shared a womb forever joins the dead. The second is in their sixth year, when they touch their first stone and connect with the Realm. Olean knows this all too well, having accessed the Realm for years, reading people, seeing and feeling their thoughts and actions as if they were her own. Now that she’s of age and possesses a higher stone ability, her third defining day has come—a chance to join the prestigious Queen’s Garden.

She must be stopped before finding the final piece needed to end the world. To stand any chance at defeating her, Vala and the others will have to add numbers to their charge, which includes negotiations with the incorrigible Volare king.

There's another man who's been controlling Millie's destiny since before she was born—a man her mom married two days before she gave birth to Millie. Could this man be her biological father? Will finding this out break Millie's heart? Once again, Millie must dive back into the fray to solve the last mystery of her complicated history.

When Millie takes the final step toward the answers she craves, will she be forced to choose between her head and her heart? Reality. Who needs it? Definitely not Millie. She's had enough to last a lifetime. In the past six months, she finally found out who killed her mom and took out a terrorist network in the process. Enough reality. It's time for a little fantasy.

Millie Marsh is the most annoyingly independent woman I've ever met. I was assigned to protect her on this mission, but I'm probably going to kill her myself before it's over.

Who knew life could get so…weird? Selene’s best friend is dead, and now she finds herself raising a precocious teen, Allie—though she never even wanted to be a mom. To top it off, they’re living in her deceased friend’s house in a small town that’s one enchanted forest away from belonging in a fairy tale.

Now the O'Connells want to dump a big-box store right next to my cozy bookshop. Over my dead body.
