Sex, Lies and Sensibility

Nora needs a reinvention fast. After discovering at her father’s funeral that she and her sister, Yanne, have lived their entire lives as his secret second family, everything they had is gone except a dilapidated beach house on its way to foreclosure in Maine. She decamps for coastal Maine with her sister, but they haven’t even knocked the traveling dust off when the first problem pops up: a squatter who has claimed their property as his own. Ennis has every reason not to trust another outsider claiming land they have no rights to. But as they work side by side, he’s afraid Nora may be the key to more than just his financial happiness.

In Ascension

Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as an escape from her unhappy home life and volatile father. Enchanted by the undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the globe to study ancient organisms. When a trench is discovered in the Atlantic ocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth’s first life forms—what she instead finds calls into question everything we know about our own beginnings. Her discovery leads Leigh to the Mojave desert and an ambitious new space agency as she faces an impossible choice: to remain with her family, or to embark on a journey across the breadth of the cosmos.

Chasing Endless Summer

After the tragic death of her mother and a long period of isolation under the thumb of a cruel grandfather, young Caroline Brady has little to hope for in her life in the foreboding Southerland mansion. Her only companion, her enigmatic cousin, Simon, may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing and is not to be trusted. But when Caroline’s estranged father suddenly resurfaces with news of a new wife and stepchildren in Hawaii, Caroline dares to hope for a new, normal life. Desperate for her father’s love, Caroline will do anything to stay in this new home. But her troublesome stepsister has other plans, and Caroline cannot tell who to trust and who to run from.
