Little Sister Song (#1)

She’s about to turn their lives upside down…

On a freezing Seattle night, teenager Wynter shows up on Caleb’s doorstep in shorts and sandals, seeking sanctuary. Claiming to be his sister.

Caleb, Coast Guard hero with the perfect girlfriend, always plays by the rules. He practically raised his two brothers, and his duty is clear: take his little sister in.

Wynter has finally found home with her new family.

Jesse, freshman science wiz and a legend in his own mind, takes on the momentous task of educating his sister. But is a physics lecture really what she needs?

Indio, rebel with a sarcastic tongue to mask his pain, bonds with Wynter over rock music but he’s more interested in getting wasted than coming home for the weekend.

Wynter is determined to wash away her abusive past, but she shares a wound with her brothers that never healed—the pain of their mother’s abandonment. And when these siblings are once again ripped apart, they realize that sometimes…

Love is not enough.

Trapped in the foster care system, struggling to navigate middle school cliques, and with her dreams of a united family fading, Wynter is offered love from an unexpected direction. Will she turn her back on Caleb’s promises, on Jesse’s guidance, on Indio’s acceptance, and take the chance to start over?

Children of Scarabaeus

Raised by the empire. Captured by mercs. Leashed to a bodyguard. Where do her loyalties lie?

Edie has spent her life terraforming planets for the ruthless Crib empire as it bleeds the forgotten Fringe worlds dry.

Abducted by mercenaries for her unique abilities, she realizes captivity might be the closest thing to freedom she’s ever known… until they leash her to Finn, a battle-scarred rebel forced to protect her.

If Edie strays, Finn dies. If she resists her captors, they both do.

With no choice but to trust each other, Edie and Finn’s fragile alliance is about to be tested in a terrifying and deadly way. To survive, they must outwit the mercs, outrun the Crib, and navigate the untamed nightmare of Scarabaeus — the planet that may hold the key to saving the Fringe and securing Edie’s freedom.

She was built to obey. Now, she’ll fight to break every chain.
