For decades, Sylvia Warden has tried to move on, but when her father dies, she is forced to return home—to the house where Ivy lived, where she died, where everything changed. She tells herself it’s just for a few weeks, just long enough to settle the estate, but from the moment she steps inside, she feels it—Ivy is still here. Sylvie sees her in reflections, hears whispers in the night, smells her perfume lingering in empty rooms. The past presses down on her, and no matter how much she tries to rationalize it, she can’t shake the feeling that Ivy never really left. As she sorts through her father’s belongings, old memories surface, revealing fractures in the story she has told herself for years. The deeper she digs, the more reality begins to unravel, until Sylvie is forced to confront a terrifying truth—one that has been waiting for her all this time. Because guilt has a way of taking on a life of its own. And if Sylvie isn’t careful, she may never leave this house either.

Anne Marie Chadwick was supposed to have the ocean, a career in surfing, and a life defined by freedom, but when she became pregnant with Matt’s child, she chose love instead. They married, moved to Minnesota, and built a life far from the waves that once shaped her. Years passed, and the sacrifices she made for her family became the foundation of her world, but now, with Matt facing an early retirement after a career-ending injury and their marriage strained under years of quiet resentment, Anne Marie can’t shake the feeling that she has lost herself. As another harsh winter settles in, the dreams she left behind pull at her like an undertow, forcing her to confront the question she has avoided for years—did she make the right choice?

Between Waves and Winter is a poignant story of love, sacrifice, and the difficult choices that define us, asking whether we can ever truly go back—or if the dream of who we once were is as fleeting as the tide.

After serving twenty-five years in a Thai prison for a crime she never fully understood, Alice Marano returns to the United States a shadow of her former self—haunted by the years she lost and the life she left behind. Struggling with chronic health issues and a fractured sense of identity, Alice tries to rebuild in a world that has moved on without her. Her only constant is Darlene Davis, the best friend who never stopped writing, visiting when she could, and reminding Alice that there was still a life waiting for her beyond the prison walls. But as Alice settles into this new, fragile freedom, the weight of the past presses down—old memories resurface, and long-buried secrets threaten to unravel everything she thought she knew about that fateful night. With simmering tension and unspoken regrets between them, Alice is forced to confront the painful truth that some betrayals are never truly forgotten, and some debts can never be repaid.

The television screen cast a flickering glow across the darkened room. The figure in the chair sat still, unmoving, eyes locked on the image of Lydia Quinn as she smiled for the camera. Fingers tapped once, twice, against the armrest. The voice on the television droned on, but the figure wasn't listening to the words. Not really. The sight of him—of Seb Mercer, his image displayed on the screen—was enough to ignite something sharp and hot beneath the skin.

Alive. Talking. Telling things that sounded like truths.

The figure’s breath quickened. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Seb was supposed to be dead.

That night, all those years ago, the figure had been sure Sierra Hart had finished the job. Everyone thought so. She wasn’t called a final girl for nothing. Stabbed multiple times by his partner, Brandon Hale, in their twisted attempt to stage the perfect finale. Then Sierra fought back—fought him—and ended it with a final, brutal blow: dropping a heavy television set onto his head.

The figure remembered the reports. The details of how a teenager who should have died that night managed to claw his way back.

For thirty years, the world believed Seb Mercer was a willing accomplice in the Red Devil murders, but now, fresh out of prison, he’s telling his side of the story in Devil's Due—a tell-all memoir claiming he never actually killed anyone. According to Seb, Brandon Hale came to him that night desperate, needing help to finish what he started, and Seb, wanting to be part of something legendary, agreed—never realizing he would be the one paying the price. But as the book becomes a true crime sensation, a new killer wearing a blood-red devil mask emerges, targeting Seb and anyone connected to his past with a chilling message: some secrets should stay buried. With the body count rising, Sierra Hart is forced back into the nightmare she thought she had escaped, as Shane races to uncover the truth—because Brandon had secrets even he never knew. And this time, the truth isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly.
