  "To die will be an awfully big adventure."
  
  When Peter Pan flies through the nursery window of the Darling family, he isn't just looking for his lost shadow—he's looking for a mother for his band of Lost Boys. Leading Wendy, John, and Michael across the sky to the second star to the right, Peter introduces them to Neverland: a world of mermaids, fairies, and the villainous Captain Jas. Hook. But beneath the whimsy lies a poignant reality. Peter's "eternal youth" comes at the cost of his memory and heart, creating a world where the only thing more dangerous than a pirate is the passage of time.
  
  The Psychology of the Never-Bird: Barrie's Peter Pan is a "tragic boy"—heartless, forgetful, and innocent. Unlike the Disney version, the original Peter is a feral figure who "thins" the ranks of the Lost Boys when they grow too old. The novel explores the "Mother" archetype through Wendy, who must eventually choose between the magic of Neverland and the responsibility of the real world.
  
  The Dual Duel: Hook vs. Peter: The rivalry between Peter and Hook is a clash of philosophies. Hook, a man of "Good Form" and educated at Eton, represents the rigid, decaying world of adulthood and mortality—stalked literally by the ticking clock inside the Crocodile. Peter represents the chaotic, amoral freedom of youth. Their battle is not just about survival, but about the very nature of identity.
  
  Experience the magic and the melancholy. Purchase "Peter Pan" today and fly to the shores of Neverland.

  One final mission—if they can make it out alive. 
   
   
   
  Deputy U. S. Marshal Tucker Shaw has spent months hunting Jace Krueger, head of a criminal empire with a sprawling human trafficking network. Tucker and his team have come close to bringing the network down, but to finish the job, they need someone with an inside connection. 
   
   
   
  That someone is Riley Bishop—the woman Tucker loves and the one person he's determined to protect at all costs. She's his best shot at getting close to Krueger, but putting her back in the man's sights is a risk Tucker isn't sure he's willing to take.

  With danger closing in, Tucker and Riley must outmaneuver a man who won't go down without a fight. Because in this game, exposing the truth might not be enough to save them—it could instead cost them their very lives. 
   
   
   
  The Truth We Seek is the fourth and final book in a fast-paced psychological thriller series that starts with The Lies We Believe.

  A prisoner, a secret he can't remember, and the military force that will destroy planets to get their hands on it. 
  When Fabio Velazquez arrives on the secretive military base on Jupiter's moon Io, he knows two things: one, that he's had his memories erased and two, that he has a secret. Except because of point one, he can't remember what point two is. 
  The portents aren't good: he's hated by his fellow soldiers, responsible for "the greatest f***-up in military history", traitor and human guinea pig. Yet, he managed to be trusted with a secret so big that the military has almost killed him and still haven't gotten their hands on it. Where is it, and who does it belong to? 
  His nickname might be Escape Artist, but in the hostile environment of Io there is no escaping punishment. Or so the military thinks, but they're not the only ones interested in him. 
  A secret base lurks in the cloud tops of Jupiter. They watch. They wait. They will strike.
