Sprucewood High School changes everyone.

The girl with sad eyes who walked out of the bathroom stall; she made herself puke. The star basketball player can’t read an entire sentence, so he takes his anger out on the introverted kid after third period. His face turned purple and blue.

Olive was just a girl.

Fletcher was just a boy. 

 
​A Seeker with one desire.
A Goddess who safeguards an ancient curse.
Sometimes even love cannot save a dark soul.

Vassago is a Seeker haunted by his dark soul, making him dangerous and mysterious to everyone around him—except Lore. Lore is a goddess who wards an ancient curse. She and Vassago have shared a connection for centuries, but he has always chosen his oaths to the Circles above all else, especially her.

I didn’t always understand the importance of this holiday. When I was eight-years-old, I wished my grandfather a “Happy Memorial Day!” I thought it was the proper thing to do. After all, people said, “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Easter” on those holidays.

​So, what was wrong with what I said?

Everything. 

A rock band. A reality show. A life swerving out of control.
The House of Archer cameras continue to roll, and Lily and Archer feel the pressure to perform. As the show’s stars and media’s newest darlings, their love life is bright in the public’s eye. But what should be the best time of their lives has Lily feeling like she’s an inch away from a head-on collision.
Between the never-ending cameras and a relationship moving forward at top speed, she barely recognizes her life anymore. All she wants is to pursue her writing career and plan her future with the man she loves. With complicated road blocks popping up at every turn, neither seems possible.

​Cautious and introverted, seventeen-year-old Dove spends most of her free time pursuing her one true passion: painting. The twinkling lights of Balboa Island, the ferryboat to the peninsula, the fire pits on Big Corona Beach…these have long been the subjects of her canvases as she daydreams about finding an Audrey Hepburn-film kind of romance.

A hotshot jock is exactly not the type of guy she's been looking for—but when Leo Donovan drops his cool act to show his vulnerable side, Dove begins to question everything. But first she'll have to navigate her way through claim-staking mean girls and disapproving parents—and still keep her focus on attending the art school of her dreams.

Every person has a story to tell. Some may be sweet with a happily ever after, but there are others that end in tragedy.

Mine has yet to be finished.

My name is Elizabeth Kingston and this is where my story begins.
I never thought my life could be so perfect. I have an amazing job owning my own bakery, and a wonderful husband who I love and who loves me back. Never once did I have to worry about anything, at least, not until the texts started coming in. They always begin the same way … numbers that spell my nickname when read upside down. ​

Her job as a grocery store bagger isn't much help...until the day she has a bizarre exchange with the cagey town recluse. When the woman abruptly surrenders to the police, Olivia feels compelled to dig deeper into her perplexing story. But the investigation stalls when Olivia receives another piece of news--Andre Steele, the golden boy of Westmont and her previous tormentor, has unexpectedly returned from her four-year stay in Brazil--and the whole school is buzzing!

Gripping, romantic, and evocative of its time—A Shine that Defies the Dark is a spellbinding story of one woman who will stop at nothing to survive during a tumultuous time in American history.
