Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, six-year-old Olivia Garcia ran into the looming evergreens of Driftwood State Park, leaving her babysitter, Jessica Paige, alone on an unlit gravel road. Most of Jessica's memories of that night vanished with Olivia, except for strange visions of two girls falling into a black pit, deep underground. Haunted by nightmares and fragmented memories, Jessica spends her nights searching for clues about the past and why so many children disappear in the misty Appalachian town of Driftwood. When two feral boys turn up on Jessica's porch, hungry and hiding from the police, Jessica quickly finds herself entangled in their fate, and with each exchange, she becomes more convinced that they hold the answers to her questions about Driftwood and Olivia's disappearance. But Jessica isn't the only one looking for answers. Disarmingly attractive, bestselling author Elliot Reed is in town, intent on weaving Driftwood's eerie legends and conspiracies into his next paranormal thriller. After a chance late-night encounter in the woods, flashlights in hand, Elliot and Jessica begin to unravel a mystery as dark and winding as Driftwood's forest trails.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “superb” time travel adventure of one lonely young girl, a remarkable family, and an impossible task, set between modern and Elizabethan England (The Washington Post) "A beautiful book . . . a form of enchanting ghost story, with the ghosts drawn in with the grace of a painter on a fan." —The Observer Penelope Taberner Cameron is a solitary and a sickly child, a reader and a dreamer. Her mother, indeed, is of the opinion that the girl has grown all too attached to the products of her imagination and decides to send her away from London for a restorative dose of fresh country air. But staying at Thackers, in remote Derbyshire, Penelope is soon caught up in a new mystery, as she finds herself transported at unforeseeable intervals back and forth from modern to Elizabethan times. There she becomes part of a remarkable family that is, Penelope realizes, in terrible danger as they plot to free Mary, Queen of Scots, from the prison in which Queen Elizabeth has confined her. Penelope knows the tragic end that awaits the Scottish queen, but she can neither change the course of events nor persuade her new family of the hopelessness of their cause, which love, loyalty, and justice all compel them to embrace. Caught between present and past, Penelope is ever more torn by questions of freedom and fate. To travel in time, she discovers, is to be very much alone. And yet the slow recurrent rhythms of the natural world, beautifully captured by Alison Uttley, also speak of a greater ongoing life that transcends the passage of the years.

Book excerpt: Teach the hot, brainy doctor how to flirt and please a man? Easy. Walk away unchanged at the end of it? That’s another story… I’ve lived my whole life in my older brother’s shadow, happy to play the part of the carefree good ol’ boy—drinking, carousing, and living life with no strings attached. Now it’s time for something real; something I can build and be proud of. I want to expand our ranch and take on the management of a new division. But no one is ready to take me seriously and give me the chance I need. When I run into Dr. Caroline Cressley at the local bar, she’s gorgeous and confident—nothing like the meek little bookworm she was in high school. She’s blossomed in other ways too, and don’t think I didn’t notice. Except she’s not as experienced in some areas as she’d like. And apparently I’m the perfect tutor to get her all caught up. When she asks me for help learning about the, ah, finer ways of seduction, I can’t believe my luck. Not only do I get to play around with this gorgeous woman for a few weeks, but it’s the perfect arrangement to get my brother off my back. With the well-respected town doctor on my arm, he’ll finally realize I’m settling down and ready to take life more seriously. I just never expected to develop feelings. Real ones. Because as different as we are, Caroline’s body and soul fit next to me like a missing puzzle piece. And the more time we spend together, the harder it will be to say goodbye…
