Maybe It’s All For Me

A FORMER FBI AGENT IS DENIED PAROLE AND ON HIS WAY BACK TO PRISON.

Former Fed Jason Maxfield is seven years into a ten-year prison sentence. With his hopes of an early release dashed by the parole board, he resigns himself to serving his sentence. But his day is about to get much worse.

HIS PRISON TRANSPORT IS STORMED BY ARMED MEN WHO THREATEN HIS FAMILY.

Armed men storm the bus. Jason’s old adversary leads them. He threatens Jason’s ex-wife before knocking him unconscious. Not only that, but the daughter whose name he doesn’t even know is also at risk. Jason regains consciousness and realizes his choice is simple: he can return to prison or he can use the key his enemy left lying within reach to free himself.

HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RUN.

He takes the second option, desperate to get to his ex-wife and daughter before his sinister adversary can find them.

Can Jason do the impossible?

What price is he willing to pay?

Heartwarming books with characters you’ll love: Welcome to Pajaro Bay.

Aspiring chef Bree Taylor thought she’d found a home at last, in the kitchen of Lassiter’s restaurant. Chef Henry Lassiter was not only her mentor, but a dear friend who regaled her with stories of his childhood home in Pajaro Bay. Henry’s sudden death shattered her world, leaving her as lost and grieving as his beloved old dog, Maisy. Now Bree has only one last task to complete for Henry: she will deliver the dog to Henry’s twin sister in Pajaro Bay. Then she can move on, and find some way to start over, as alone and adrift as ever.

But what she finds when she arrives is not the happy, cozy little village Henry had described, but a town full of mysteries she can’t understand, from his sister’s odd behavior, to the handsome doctor with eyes as rich as bittersweet chocolate who can’t seem to decide if he is attracted to her–or just wants her to leave him alone.

In the end, she’ll have to use everything Henry taught her, about faith and trust and believing in herself, to find a new path, with new friends, a new community, and the happily ever after Henry had always promised was waiting for her, whenever she was ready to take a chance.

Get away to the little California beach town where the cottages are cute, the neighbors are nosy, and it’s always possible to find your personal Happily Ever After.

Music is oxygen. Love is messy. And growing up is louder than any amp.

Fourteen-almost-fifteen-year-old Signus Lomax is stuck between childhood and everything after. He knows three things for sure:

The band he plays in is the only thing holding him together, though it’s one argument away from falling apart.

His body never shuts up, whether it’s tics that won’t stay hidden or desires he’s not ready to name.

His dad’s chaotic past is louder than any guitar, and it won’t stop echoing.

This summer, everything shifts.
The band teeters on collapse.
The new boy next door might be perfect.
And his best friend, the one he’s shared late-night whispers and a bed with for years, might be slipping away for good.

As friendships fracture and futures close in, Sig is caught in the noise of becoming someone new. And when the music stops, the truth rushes in, raw and unstoppable.

SWAN is a funny, heart-punching coming-of-age novel about identity, first love, friendship, music, and the beautiful mess of growing up neurodiverse and queer.

The only person who can stop him is Lianetta Jansen, a disgraced former Galactic Military Policewoman now turned smuggler, who is haunted by a terrible tragedy in her past. Along with her ragtag, wisecracking crew — the one-armed pilot Caladan, and the malfunctioning droid, Harlan5 — Lia must confront her own demons, while trying to stop another.
