As adults, they are reunited in the small coastal town they dreamed of living in as children, but the reality of life in Tall Pines is far from what they had imagined.

A connection that could end it all.

When a woman is found dead in her home, Madigan reports on the crime while Grace investigates. A dark connection to the victim is discovered, pulling them both closer to the crime and the traumatic past they are desperate to move on from.

THE GODS NEVER LEFT. THEY JUST WENT CORPORATE.

Athena is the best tactical analyst in London. Or so she thinks. Inside the glass walls of an Olympus-linked intelligence firm, she tracks global threats with a precision she calls instinct. But she can’t explain the strange, golden “glitches” in her vision or the way the city’s surveillance cameras seem to bow to her command like a performance metric.

Then comes Elias Vale.

Elias is cold, dangerous, and assigned to keep her contained. He is a strategist who sees through her professional mask, watching her with a hunger that feels thousands of years old. He should be a problem she can solve with logic. Instead, he becomes the fracture line in her reality.

As the Siphon Protocol begins to fail, Athena’s suppressed divinity leaks into the modern world. Every touch from Elias brings back shards of a life she wasn’t supposed to remember — and a power the Olympian Board would kill to keep caged. In a world of digital surveillance and ancient bloodlines, the greatest threat isn’t the corporate machine. It’s the goddess waking up inside it.

Desire turns tactical. Trust turns lethal. The first book in a lush, conspiratorial Modern Greek Goddess Romantasy.

She didn’t realize she was drowning… until someone tried to finish the job.

Eve built a life that looked untouchable —
a successful career, a beautiful home, and a husband who knew exactly how to keep everything in place.

Including her.

But Eve isn’t innocent.

She’s learned how to perform.
How to smile through the cracks.
How to keep secrets of her own.

Behind the polished surface, her marriage is suffocating her — controlled, calculated, and far more dangerous than she’s willing to admit.
And the man she married may not be the man she thought she knew at all.

Then one night changes everything.

What should have been the end… becomes a beginning.

As Eve begins to unravel the truth, she’s forced to confront not only the lies surrounding her — but the ones she’s told herself. The choices she ignored. The red flags she softened. The life she stayed in… even when it was breaking her.

Because when control is disguised as love,
and silence becomes survival,
Walking away isn’t simple.

It’s dangerous.

And the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes —

She isn’t the only one hiding something.

Restless is a gripping, emotionally charged story about love, betrayal, self-deception, and the courage it takes to face yourself before you can ever be free.

Tapas is a Spanish cuisine that defies easy description. Tapas can be made out of almost anything. The idea is to serve a variety of items in individual, bite-sized portions all at once or in quick succession. Each meal needs its own drink pairing, typically wine, to complete the experience. It’s a great method to keep your guests entertained and excited.

Although many of these bite-sized treats can stand on their own as an appetizer or snack, tapas is always served as a main course. No matter how many courses there are, they all consist of these dishes. The goal is to provide the taste buds with as many different kinds of treats as possible. Every foodie will find something to their liking in this tapas cookbook.

Tapas can be compared to dim sum. Dim sum is a collection of miniature Chinese delicacies. Dim sum, on the other hand, is a complete dinner even if each individual dish served as an appetizer. This is the very definition of tapas. As a result of their rising popularity, tapas have expanded beyond traditional Spanish fare. These days, tapas can include just about any little, delectable food.
