Lucy Grayson grew up on Abbott Island. From the age of fifteen, she worked at the General Store. When she bought the business at age twenty-four, she had no idea how much time she would spend working. Now nearing thirty, she finds herself at a crossroads. Tired of the grind at work and convicted by God to make a change, she considers selling the store. If she sells, then what? She loves her family, but she's lonely. The island is small and few job or dating opportunities exist. She's had a lifelong dream tucked in her back pocket for years. Could now be the time?
Owen Miller moved to the island to live on his aunt and uncle's farm after his short-lived professional baseball career ended in injury. Bitter after his ex-girlfriend ditched him for someone with more money, he focuses on his future. He has been keeping a low profile while he works out a plan to help the farm thrive. Using his college degree, he creates a landscaping business and ideas for a Christmas tree farm. The last thing he's looking for is a relationship.
In the spring, mysterious holes pop up on the island and throw Lucy and Owen together, literally. Owen rescues her from a hole in her yard. As they consider why holes are being dug on the island and who is behind it, Owen's uncle shares a story about island people and Klondike gold. Whether the tale is true, Lucy and Owen want to discover who is behind the hole digging and why. In the meantime, will they discover more than the answer to the mystery? Will Owen's walls around his heart come down? Will Lucy have the insight she needs into her future?
Abbott Island book 3 takes the reader on an adventure and digs into the island's history, as Lucy and Owen discover their future.
If you've read Abbott Island book 1, Home Where She Belongs, and book 2, Home Away from Home, you'll enjoy catching up with familiar characters and you'll set foot on the island one more time.
After a rough assignment catching people out to destroy battered women's shelters, Anne needs a break. Being assigned to observe operations at Common Grounds Legal Clinic seems like a cake assignment. Xander Finley, the head lawyer, is a friend of Joan. The clinic is already supported by the Arc Foundation, so Arc is simply expanding its support.
But then Anne is carjacked, and her guard dog, Argus, is shot. Off balance, worried about Argus, and wearing borrowed clothes, things keep getting worse. Face-to-face with someone from her painful past and feeling antagonism from Xander's employees, Anne stumbles into one problem after another. Her frustration grows when allies became enemies, and she is accused of entrapment and then attempted murder. How come prayer is her last resort, when it should have been her first reaction to every problem?
These are the adventures of the E&D ship, AFV Defender. While they aren't quite as death-defying as a certain other notorious ship in the Fleet, they're developing a legend of their own. Some good. Some bad. But most important, they're a family, with all the benefits and drawbacks.
Every day is a new adventure. If their misfit luck doesn't finally run out on them.
INQUEST: AFV Defender Book 4
Signals are coming from beyond the edges of charted space. All indications are that they are being generated by the broken pieces of a Gate, used by the ancient Gatekeepers to scatter all the Human races across the universe.
Except that as far as anyone knew, nothing could dent a Gate, forget break it. Yet the legendary warrior, Etrusca, scattered pieces of broken Gate across known and unknown space. Now, a response is coming in. As one of the top E&D (Exploration and Diplomacy) ships in the Alliance Fleet, the Defender heads across the galaxy to find out just who or what is sending the signal.
Except this time, they've been partnered with the Inquest. The only ship in the Fleet with a stranger reputation and record than the Defender. The notorious Captain Illean Shryne and her crew of rule-breakers and miracle-workers always manage to escape from the jaws of death and return covered in glory. Unfortunately, the ships sent on missions with them don't fare so well ...
Ess's mother, Vivian, left her a rose made of the same crystal that formed the Great Machine, which allowed the Originators and Revisionists to travel through time. A matching rose belonged to her friend, Anna, and the two women communicated mind-to-mind, until Vivian died. When Ess was too young to understand, she touched minds with Carmen, Anna's daughter, through the crystal rose. Both girls thought the other was merely an imaginary friend.
Now, knowing the truth, Ess must search for Carmen, who is in great danger from the Revisionists. Anna died before she could teach her daughter the truth of the crystal rose, and her heritage. Carmen has no idea what gifts lie in her blood, in the power of song, and in the crystal rose.
When one piece of bad luck after another puts Carmen and her orphan charges out on the streets, they find shelter in an underground community. Their leader, Brogan, hides his scars in the shadows, and fears he is slowly growing insane. Carmen's music may be the key to solving puzzles passed down from their ancestors. The fate of the world of the future could rest in their hands.

He was supposed to be in custody for the rest of his life, but somehow Cynes showed up in the middle of a shore leave that was anything but relaxing.
Lt. M'kar and Security Chief Decker were supposed to be guiding some of the ship's children through a wilderness survival experience, but even though they were on shore leave, they knew their duty. They had to deal with Cynes and get him back into the hands of the authorities ASAP.
And if they could have some fun and frighten the irritating little troublemaker while they were at it, all the better.

'Na and Ambrose set out to rescue her friend Zella, who lives in a tower and grows her hair to make wigs for dragon-tamers. The magic mirror web is down, and all sorts of legal filings are threatening Zella's peace and solitude. Along the way, they encounter Prince Ruprick and his scheming cousin Rumpton, who increases his kingdom through the new, dark magical art called real estate. Rumpton's target is Zella, her tower, and the curse that controls her hair growth business.
Life in the enchanted castle, in the center of the enchanted forest, had its benefits and its drawbacks. Emphasis on drawbacks, with 'Na's problematic 17th birthday approaching. Thanks to her parents' reputation for breaking enchantments and solving magical problems, they had numerous enemies. Chances were good some of them had set numerous curses to take effect on her birthday. The best way to avoid trouble was to stay home, alone, and keep the doors locked.
Then clumsy Prince Ruprick and his assistant/bodyguard/troubleshooter Ambrose showed up. The prince didn't know how to take no for an answer. His father had failed at winning the Beastly Beauty for his bride, so now it was up to him to win the daughter.
Plus, Fang, the half-vampire bunny, had showed up in a bad mood.
