    The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the vast expanse of the open road. A gentle breeze whispered through the trees, stirring the leaves and sending them dancing in its wake. The air was tinged with the scent of pine and earth, a reminder of the wilderness that surrounded them. 
    Emily sat behind the wheel of her car, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as she navigated the winding road ahead. The golden rays of the setting sun bathed her in a warm glow, casting a halo of light around her as she drove on into the unknown. 
    The landscape stretched out before her, a patchwork of rolling hills and lush green valleys. In the distance, jagged mountains rose up against the horizon, their peaks crowned with snow. It was a scene of breathtaking beauty, a testament to the power and majesty of the natural world. 
    But as the darkness began to settle in and the stars emerged in the night sky, the beauty of the landscape gave way to a sense of uncertainty. Emily glanced around, her eyes searching for familiar landmarks, but all she saw was the endless expanse of the road stretching out before her. 
    The road signs flashed by in a blur, their words indecipherable in the fading light. Emily's heart began to race as a sense of unease settled over her. She had been driving for hours, but still, she had no idea where she was or how to find her way back home. 
    With a sigh, Emily pushed aside her fear and focused on the road ahead. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew that she had to keep moving forward. And as she drove on into the night, she couldn't shake the feeling that her journey was just beginning.

    Can a loner be the hero they need? 
    Being a grumpy ex-soldier means I like being alone. What better place for solitude, far from home and bad memories, than a remote chalet in Italy? Peace and quiet, just what I need to write my next book. You know what they say about best laid plans, right? Somehow I end sheltering a single mom on the run with her kid—and a talking lizard. 
    How the hell did that happen? Guess being ornery doesn't mean I lack a heart because I end up offering them refuge. 
    Nicky and her toddler, escaping an abusive situation and looking for a fresh start. Percy, the reptile who turns out to be a dragon and needs constant feeding and protection. For some reason, they trust me. Me, the man who can't even sleep through the night. 
    Then again, who else better to safeguard than a man who's not afraid to act? I might have retired from action, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten how to track down the enemy and make them pay. 
    If you dare to threaten those I care about, I promise, it will be the last thing you do. 
     
    Contains mature themes.

    When hockey center Jack Winters is involved, anything can happen…even love. 
    Poppy: 
    I came to Blue Ridge to make my fashion dreams come true, not to fall for the town’s hottest hockey star. But when Jack Winters—captain of the Blue Ridge Buffaloes and certified heartthrob—walks into my boutique (literally knocking over my mannequin in the process), my carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos. 
    Now, instead of getting my boutique ready for the Harvest Festival, I’m trying to keep my heart from racing every time Jack looks at me with those smoldering blue eyes. He’s charming, funny, and way too good at making me swoon. But here’s the thing: Jack has a reputation—and I’m not about to be another name on his list. 
    Just when I think I’ve got everything under control, Jack shows up in one of my dresses (yes, you read that right) and turns my world upside down. Suddenly, I’m falling hard, and fast. But can I trust him with my heart, or will our quick relationship fall through the thin ice? 
    Trigger warnings: This book is full of hot kissing and body positivity from a plus-sized heroine. Read at your own pleasure!

    Blending supernatural intrigue with existential mystery, MORI is a haunting story of vanished friends, cryptic messages, and the fragile boundary between reality and the unknown. 
    When four friends vanish without a trace, all that remains is a logbook kept by Mori, a troubled man suspected of their disappearance. His entries reveal a life steeped in regret and self-medication, until a disembodied voice calls out from “across the Cosmic Gulf,” imploring him to help find a missing woman. 
    Fearful he’s losing his grip on reality, Mori embarks on an otherworldly investigation through modern Los Angeles, chasing cryptic symbols and bizarre phenomena, with fleeting moments of wry humor that underscore the deeper emotional stakes at play. Drawn into his quest are an enigmatic neighbor—a radiant yet haunted woman—and her eclectic circle of friends. Each has their own reasons for joining Mori’s strange odyssey, yet none are prepared for the dark truths that await them. 
    Their search leads to a labyrinthine realm of “high strangeness,” where time acts strangely and a mysterious entity seems to observe their every move. At the center of it all lies a sinister figure known only as The LA Lurker. 
    Though it’s the first in The Lost Ones series, MORI can be enjoyed as a gripping standalone. 
    “A thriller that grows stranger, creepier, and more magical throughout. MORI is one of a kind…thoroughly absorbing.” —IndieReader
