Alivia Ryan didn’t know the man who claims to be her father through a will even existed until she inherits the Conrath plantation. Instead of the sleepy house she expects, she finds a mansion and a staff who look at her with fear in their eyes.

Ian Ward tried to kill Alivia the first time they met, and then insisted he train her to defend herself against the House, who he claims will try to manipulate and take her in for their own political reasons. And the growing attraction between them will threaten their lives—Ian is a sworn enemy of the House.

In Silent Bend, people disappear, the threat of a demented King and the legend of his resurrecting Queen hang over everyone’s heads, and proving loyalty means far more than blood. You’d better watch who you trust in this town…

When sixteen-year-old Sam Rayner moves abroad with his family, he is forced to leave behind everyone and everything he holds dear. As he struggles to settle in his new surroundings, Sam thinks his situation cannot get any worse, however a shocking terrorist attack turns his world on its head.

After suffering a traumatic brain injury, he wakes up in hospital to discover that he has developed seizures during which he slips into the body of a past or future self. Can Sam and his friends somehow defeat the sinister forces that want to use his powers for their own ends? Can they manage to save Sam’s family from violent deaths that are already in the past – and, maybe also, win the girl he loves – by turning back the pages of time?
