Blurb:

I devoted my life to Project Oryx. As a geneticist, I told myself it was about discovery, about pushing the boundaries of what life could become. I never expected my greatest creation to change me in return. What began as an obsession blurred into something far more dangerous and profound—an attachment I couldn’t explain away with logic, an unconventional love that rewrote everything I thought I knew.

When militaries set their sights on Oryx as the ultimate weapon and intergalactic coalitions hunted us to steal what I’d created, we became fugitives overnight. Bounties followed us from system to system, and every encounter reminded me that the universe measures worth in power and conquest. Yet in the midst of pursuit and fear, we found something rarer than victory. We found trust. We found family. And as the walls closed in, I realized we weren’t just fighting to survive—we were fighting for our right to remain human, and for a love strong enough to change the course of everything.


A slow-burn sci-fi space opera inspired by Frankenstein and Flowers for Algernon, dusted with a glimmer of The Wizard of Oz—where the Monster isn’t destroyed, loves, and finally finds home.

Clean eating never tasted so deadly.

Willowby’s Autumn Wellness Fair promises green juices, yoga sessions, and fresh beginnings. When Liam Carter, the charismatic owner of Glow Juicery and self-proclaimed smoothie guru, collapses after toasting his own signature blend, the wholesome event turns toxic. At first, everyone assumes an allergic reaction. Then the coroner confirms poison.

Suspicion quickly falls on Glow’s competitors. Tamsin Blake’s Velvet Scone Cafรฉ has been struggling ever since Glow opened, and her new Autumn Glow menu is drawing side-eye from wellness enthusiasts who believe she is trying to profit from tragedy. Determined to protect her cafรฉ and her reputation, Tamsin begins investigating.

She soon learns that Liam built his business on stolen recipes, poached staff, sabotage, and charm that turned sour. Marina Jones, an herbalist betrayed by Liam, appears to be the prime suspect. But others have reasons to want Liam gone, including his angry ex-girlfriend, a critical local doctor, a furious mother, and even Tamsin’s own cousin who worked at Glow.

With help from Inspector Crumpet the parrot, Professor Pembroke the Maine Coon, and her loyal friends, Tamsin follows a trail of mislabeled powders, shady wellness products, and fake health claims.

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town; Second Chance; Secret Baby; Blue Collar; Past Abuse (FC); High School Sweethearts; First Everything; She Runs
Release Date: February 16, 2026









In fisherman tales, there's always talk about the one that got away… This is that story.

When they were in high school, Brock and Courtney felt they were destined to be together. They'd had their future all mapped out. Until a week before graduation, when two pink lines changed everything, diverting the course of the life they'd planned.

Young and scared, Courtney made the impossible decision to keep it a secret and leave their hometown, never planning to return, and breaking both their hearts in the process.

And for years, her plan works. Until her abusive father dies, leaving her mother rudderless in her newfound freedom. Returning home with her secret daughter is the only answer. But what will happen when she comes face-to-face with the past she's tried so hard to forget but couldn't?

Thirteen years after the only woman Brock has ever loved ran from the small Alaskan island they'd called home, he learns she's back—with a preteen daughter. Too many emotions and unanswered questions hang heavy between them. And when the answers are brought to light, the chasm between them widens further. Will it be possible for them to reconcile for their daughter's sake?
