• Blurb for the book

Sera is a fearless detective on a neutral space station. She’s also very pregnant, hungry, and absolutely not in the mood to save the station today. So when her captain begs her to visit an odd perp she previously busted, she refuses. That’s why it’s called maternity leave.

Toreena, who has somehow gone from ex-con to the owner of the hottest new bakery on the station, has important information that she will only share with Sera. Not only no, but hell no. That is, until Sera’s captain offers an extra week off and all the cinnamon rolls she can eat. Damn those pregnancy cravings.

While elbows deep in cinnamon bliss, Sera discovers Toreena has stolen a dangerous metallic catalyst, MC-7, capable of destroying the station and rendering worlds uninhabitable. Risking Sera’s own life is an easy decision, but risking her unborn son’s life isn’t. Caught between duty and motherhood, she confiscates the dangerous substance, thrusting herself and her unborn son into the center of a conspiracy. Faced with corruption, a crime syndicate, and a hostile alien race, Sera goes on the offensive, but she won’t do it alone.

Mo is a debt ridden freighter pilot looking for love. Only he doesn’t realize it. His ship’s overzealous AI does. And she will stop at nothing to make sure he’s happy, whether he wants to be or not.

Sedna is a xenobiologist who helps colonists avoid getting eaten by the local fauna on unexplored planets. She’s trying to get over a loss by absolutely not filling a void, that certainly doesn’t exist, by taking on a stray alien as a pet.

Callen is a master pickpocket trying to pay for his daughter’s medical treatments. But when he picks the wrong pocket, he finds himself running from a ruthless crime syndicate and into a gender identity crisis he never expected.

As the tendrils of conspiracy reach a distant planet designated as a wildlife refuge, Sera, Mo, Sedna, and Callen will have to decide whether to risk everything to stop a war.

Blurb:

Ava has spent her life being the capable one.

As a second-grade teacher and part-time caregiver for her mother, Ava knows how to handle chaos, soothe fear, and keep everyone around her standing. What she doesn’t know how to do is let someone take care of her—especially not after past relationships taught her that needing too much only made her a burden.

Then a field trip accident puts her in the path of Matteo.

Calm, controlled, and quietly commanding, Matteo is the kind of man Ava has spent years trying not to want. He's a paramedic with a caring heart and a dominant’s instincts. He sees right past her bright dresses, classroom smiles, and quick jokes to the exhausted woman underneath who longs for a safe place to set everything down.

Matteo never expected to find someone who wanted the kind of devotion he had to give. Ava never expected to find someone strong enough to hold her even when her carefully made world teetered.

.

One night. One fire. One island. And the one she left behind.

Every nineteen years, when the Hunter’s Moon rises full on Halloween, the little Maine harbor town of Bonfire Bay sends two people across the tidal bar to keep a bonfire burning on the island from dusk to dawn.

Nora Beal is home for one week. That’s all. She doesn’t know her mother put her name in the lantern for the watcher's draw.

This year, a six-year-old draws two names: Nora’s, and Jack Libby’s, the high school sweetheart she left the morning after graduation.

Now it’s one night, one tiny hut, and two narrow beds (for now). The bell buoy is ringing in a dead calm, and there are wet boot prints on the granite that don’t belong to either of them.

What you’re getting:
🔥 Second chance + high school sweethearts
🏝️ Forced proximity on a tiny island
👻 A gentle ghost story, cozy and not scary
🍂 Small town, fall feels, a whole town of meddlers
💋 One open-door scene
📖 Novella, about 23,000 words, perfect for one cozy evening
💛 Happy ending
🍸 Bonus cocktail recipe from the local bar

Triggers: Ghosts? Break-up, sexual content: foreplay and then fade-to-black, Character death by accident, described, not on page-IE the ghost
