Summary
"My friend," Olaf said, his voice weak, "Are you sure?"
Bill did not trust himself enough to speak. Instead, he nodded. Olaf slowly crawled out of his sleeping bag and staggered over to the front of the tent. Silently, he gripped Bill's shoulder. Frozen tears formed on his cheeks as he wept.
"May the good God bring you home safe, my friend."
"And you," Bill replied, though he had given up his belief in the almighty on this hellish journey. "Get back safe to that pretty wife of yours, and give her a child or two."
"If I do, one of them will share your name. Go now, before my heart breaks." He knelt on the frozen canvas and unzipped the front flap.
Bill Carter took one last deep breath, and committed suicide.

Summary
"We don't need a savior. We just need to get through the week."
Twenty-four-year-old Adeline Lewis is the gravity holding her family together. Since their mother left to "find herself" in the New Mexico desert, Adeline has been the one signing permission slips, budgeting down to the last penny, and keeping her five siblings safe in a world that feels like it’s in constant free-fall.
Her life is a finely tuned choreography of survival, a "lifeboat" built on sibling loyalty and the rule of Us against the world. But beneath her formidable exterior, she is haunted by the fear that her family is a library book the world will eventually demand back.
Adeline has no room for herself, let alone love. Then she meets Mark. A thirty-eight-year-old litigation attorney who lives in a "hollow" world of marble and glass, Mark sees the fierce architect beneath Adeline’s exhaustion. He doesn’t want to rescue her; he wants to be the ballast. By offering the "technical support" to reinforce her crumbling world—from rotting porch steps to iron-clad legal petitions—he dares Adeline to stop surviving and finally start designing a life that is built to last.

Summary
Captain Cyrene of the Wraith’s Mercy has spent years building a reputation that makes even the most notorious pirates think twice before crossing her. Her crew is loyal, her ship is feared, and the sea is the only home she’s ever wanted.
Prince Judas of Varelia has spent his life believing pirates are little more than criminals.
When circumstance forces the honour-bound prince aboard the most infamous pirate ship on the coast, both of their worlds are turned upside down.
Between naval pursuits, hidden treasure, dangerous ports, sea monsters, and far too many near-death experiences, they discover that the line between hero and villain isn’t nearly as clear as either of them believed.
Unfortunately, falling for nature’s sworn enemy was never part of the plan.
