In 1760, Deborah Samson is born to Puritan parents in Plympton, Massachusetts. When her father abandons the family and her mother is unable to support them, Deborah is bound out as an indentured servant. From that moment on, she yearns for a life of liberation and adventure.

Twenty years later, as the American colonies begin to buckle in their battle for independence, Deborah, impassioned by the cause, disguises herself as a soldier and enlists in the Continental Army. Her impressive height and lanky build make her transformation a convincing one, and it isn’t long before she finds herself confronting the horrors of war head-on.

But as Deborah fights for her country’s freedom, she must contend with the secret of who she is—and, ultimately, a surprising love she can’t deny.

A woman’s investigation into her family’s murders uncovers lies, secrets, and dangerous truths in a heart-wrenching novel of suspense.

When she was thirteen years old, Samantha Newsom’s family was murdered and their Catskills farmhouse set ablaze in an unsolved crime that left nothing behind but ashes.

Twenty-two years later, Sam is pulled back to her hometown of Carney, New York, under the shadows of the grim tragedy she’s never forgotten or forgiven. Authorities mishandled the evidence, false rumors were seeded about her family, suspects yielded nothing, and the case went cold. Not anymore. Investigator Travis Meacham has been assigned to the case, and he has news for Sam: a prison inmate has come forward with a shocking admission. Sam’s baby sister, presumed dead in the fire, made it out of the house that night.

It’s not the only reveal that upends everything Sam thinks she knows about the crime and her family. But Carney protects its secrets. And this time, Sam might not be able to escape the town alive.

On a whim, Dani sells her waterfront home and buys an old farm inland near the Virginia state line. But Dani’s daughter recoils at the sudden, drastic change. The Outer Banks’ sun-swept beaches, pink dawns, and savage storms are all she’s ever known.

But Dani is resolute, and the pair move to Virginia to embark on a challenging renovation. That summer, their efforts to turn a run-down silo into an art studio bring forth new friends, new loves, and new challenges.

As mother and daughter navigate the fiercest storm of their lives, they learn that instead of waiting for the skies to clear, they can withstand the wind and rain, so long as they do it together.

All cats could be weird sometimes, but Florent seemed to be weird most of the time. Florent led Elise straight to a hidden room in the kitchen and even helped her figure out how to open the door. In all of her time playing in the manor, she never knew this room was here. But someone did. Following clues that sometimes led in circles, Elise, Dayton, and Florence stumbled upon secrets that the killer did not want revealed and could have led him or her to kill again to cover the tracks.

Grandmother always said I had the rot in me, something dark and vicious, waiting to come out and play. That I got it from my father, a serial killer who attacked my mother. It runs in my blood. She said I can’t escape it, no matter how hard I try.

She was right.

My mother and I are out of options, so we had to run. Leave behind the life we both knew without looking back. We move in with my estranged aunt, her sister, and her handsome son, Elias. She’s happy to take us in, thinking we can make up for lost time.

But the rot is always there, waiting.

I don’t expect much. Life is so boring when you’re trying to be good. Elias doesn’t hesitate to make it known I’m not welcome in his life or his house, and he’ll do anything he can to put me in my place and get us to leave.

Rot attracts rot to make something new.

Cold, cruel, calculating; there’s more to Elias than meets the eye, and I find myself wanting things I’ve never wanted before. I’m not the only one keeping secrets. Elias is, too, and I’ll do whatever I can to discover the truth.

The rot demands it, just as it hungers for us.

*Rot is a darker, standalone romance, suitable for 18+.
