“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.” ― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

The attractive man sleeping on her couch was never like a father to her. That would’ve been much easier…Outspoken seventeen-year-old Kaitlyn Fowler loses her mother, gets taken in by a gorgeous family friend, and discovers her mysterious biological father has always known she existed. All within a few months. At twenty-three, Jackson Wall lives without a single obligation. That is, until the daughter of his late public relations manager and dear friend is threatened with foster care. Shocking even himself, the rising playwright volunteers to become her guardian. Eloquent and incredibly talented, Kaitlyn comes to mean more to Jackson than he ever imagined. Or wanted. Jackson struggles with their friendship as it develops into something much more complex. While Kaitlyn can’t deny her feelings, she knows what will happen if she pushes him too far. As they search for Kaitlyn’s unknown father, she wonders if Jackson will reject her, too, or if she can convince him that something wrong to begin with can become right over time.

“Young people are often highly resilient and can often survive the most horrendous trauma.” Or can they? Carl Mueller knows something about parental betrayal. His birth mother abandoned him as an infant in the front seat of a car parked in a shopping center. With the loving support of his adoptive parents, he’s grown into a champion high school golfer with hopes for a scholarship to a major university and the opportunity to take over a successful family business. Then right at the end of his senior year, he becomes infatuated with the mysterious Lori Darling, and their relationship tests his loyalty to everything and everyone he’s ever known. Lori Darling’s mother died when she was a little girl, and since then her life has quietly spiraled out of control. At first glance, the high school junior appears to everyone to be a phenomenal basketball star bound for glory on the court. However, appearances can be deceiving. The more time Carl spends with Lori, the more he senses that something is horribly wrong, something possibly unimaginable. When he finally discovers the terrible truth that threatens to shatter the bond they share and derail each of their promising futures, Carl risks his own life to find the answer to the question that haunts them both… Who is Lori Darling?

Kyle Donovan’s life is shattered when his mother goes missing and his father is accused of dismembering her and dumping her pieces into the Mississippi River. He expects his dad's trial for the crime to solve the mystery, but when it ends in a hung jury, Kyle must make a difficult choice: live with the agonizing uncertainty that’s destroying him and his little sister, Kelly, or find the truth himself, no matter what the cost. Either way, he’ll lose at least one parent, but he might be able to salvage what’s left of a normal life for him and Kelly. Compelled by a desperate need to end the madness that his life has become, and with the help of Becky, one of the only people at school who will still talk to him, Kyle forces himself to follow a string of clues the police missed and struggles to face the terrible truth about his own role in his mother’s disappearance.
