The Beacon: The New World Series Novella #1

There is no time. The world is ending and her parents have been murdered.

Left to face the Wilds alone, Imelda runs from the person responsible for her parents deaths. Lingering in the city, and by fate or non-existent luck, she stumbles into Onyx Oakes-the most wanted man alive-and their lives completely change.

After two years of hunting for belonging, she finally finds it. Tossed into the Great Falls community lead by Jasper Bandell, Imelda yearns for a parental figure, the loss of the two people she loved the most haunting her. And as she opens up more, while trying to break through Onyx’s walls, she realizes that both him and Jasper may be the family she’s needed all along.

With feelings lurking beneath the surface that neither of them realizes, a draw pulls them back together no matter how hard they shove another away. They are more similar than they acknowldege, and it’s only a matter of time before one of them cracks.

And maybe, just maybe, they’ll understand home is closer than they believe.
