Bones of Contention

By Karen F. Williams

Sydney Wade, aquatic landscape designer, is easygoing and easy on the eyes, but her true talent lies in mischief. Funny and fearless, she’s known for her elaborate pranks, much to the horror of her uptight business partner, Marcus, who’s still traumatized by the alien invasion stunt that left him unconscious. There’s only one thing that truly scares Sydney: funerals.

Elle Woodsworth is charming, stylish, and so relentlessly cheerful she could bring sunshine to a cemetery, which is fitting, because she runs one. Elle’s an undertaker with a heart of gold and a perky ponytail to match. She’d be perfect for Sydney if only she wasn’t death’s doorman.

When Marcus arranges a blind date, sparks fly, then quickly fizzle when Sydney learns Elle’s profession. Creeped out, Sydney ghosts her until a tragedy reunites them. Sydney—guilt-ridden—offers to renovate the Woodsworths’ crumbling garden fountain. She didn’t expect to find a skeleton inside. Or that the skeleton wouldn’t be entirely dead.

Now they must unravel a decades-old mystery, fend off a restless spirit, and figure out whether love can survive where the dead don’t stay buried, and the living dig deeper.

Curveball

By Cassandra Bell

When life throws the unexpected, sometimes the best thing to do is catch it. 

Addison and Kaiden arrive at a campground in Maine each with their own set of emotional baggage. Addison, fresh off a forced retirement, feels the weighty loss of identity and sense of purpose. Kaiden, trading life as a high-powered executive for something she can’t yet define, wants desperately to shed life in the spotlight. 

Neither woman wants connection. Yet, as they navigate their own troubled pasts and unknown futures, that’s exactly what they get. As old wounds surface, together they learn to find joy in places least expected and trust the unpredictable nature of this new season of life. 

Set against the rugged backdrop of the Maine coastline, Curveball is a story of finding love later in life, leaning into vulnerability and the renewed courage it takes to write a new story when the old one no longer fits. It’s a celebration of second chances, redefining family, and an intimacy born from slowing down long enough to hear your own heart.
