What if your life wasn't exactly as you thought it was? What if there were secrets you kept-from yourself? Becca Campbell has no idea her world is about to be turned upside down when she and Grayson return to New Hampshire. Pieces start flying into place, answering the questions of the puzzle she calls her life. Things finally add up-it all makes sense. All that was lost is now found. But will she be able to move forward, knowing the truth?

WARNING!!! You MUST read Books 1-3 of The Lost & Found Series before reading the prequel. BECCA CAMPBELL is a twenty-three year old woman who will do great things in her life. But-that's her future. Right now, the year is 1999. While the world is concerned with surviving Y2K, Becca's focus is trying to make it through the darkest year of her life. She's lost both of her parents in a tragic accident, bills seem to be piling high, her car is on its last leg, and she's trying to save for nursing school. No matter how many hours she works; she can't catch a break. NOTHING in her world is going right. That is, until, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Pompous walks into her life, turning it right-side up, no matter how much she fights it. He is everything she didn't want to need and everything she now realizes she can't be without. This is the beginning of Becca's epic journey: Experiencing great love. Losing herself. Being Found.

****Warning: This book is intended for readers 18 and Up. Strong language and explicit sexual scenes**** Innocence. We're all born with it. Navigating through life as though power, privilege, and money don't rule the world. I'm guilty of it. I walked around, ignorantly thinking that the PITCREW, the most popular guys in high school, was where you wanted to be or who you wanted to date. They could have any girl they wanted, but they needed a challenge. They needed something to do to make their miserable existence exciting. That's where I came in. How was I to know that the one night I willingly gave away my innocence would set off a chain of events, turning my world upside down? Now, ten years later, it's my turn to use sex, money, and lies to take from them all that they took from me . . . and more. But the road to retribution has its twists and turns and I don't want to make the innocent mistake of crashing.

***Warning: This book contains serious and sensitive subjects such as mental health issues, and unimaginable loss. Although this is a standalone, I do recommend reading the series in order because all characters subsequent stories continue on in each book even though they are not the main focus. *** Psychotherapist, Madelyn St. Claire, has all the answers. At least, that's what the plaques on her wall say. There isn't a fear she's met that she hasn't helped a client blast through. So, why can't she work through her own? Oh, that's right... She's been so busy helping everyone else through their challenges over the years, including her best friends-the GEGs-that she never even realized she had any of her own true fears. Then again, she didn't have a reason to until he came along. Cellist, Declan Pierce, can hit all the right notes, as long as he's hitting them on stage. When he's off . . . well-he's off. So, he keeps his head down and tries to stay focused on his career and his son, Hunter. They have shared in a trauma that would bring most closer. However, theirs has only weighted their bond down, slowly causing them to drift further and further apart. That is, until a beacon of light shines through. That beacon is about five-foot-nothing, all curves, heart, brains, and no BS. But that is only part of this story. It's a long road to Happily Ever After. Maddie and Declan learn that it takes more than just the two of them to get there, and it's not a smooth stroll. It's not meant to be, though, is it? Life can give you whiplash. Buckle in and hold tight to those closest to you because, honestly... It takes a village to make love epic.

***I highly recommend reading in order*** Julie McEvoy has been mourning the loss of her mother most of her life. Only . . . her mother isn't dead. She's not missing. She's not even far away. She's just not there the way a mother should be. Having enough of the passive-aggressive loop their relationship has been on, Julie cuts ties completely with Cynthia. It shouldn't matter; Cynthia's never really there for her anyhow. She doesn't need her mother anymore. Except-she does. Cynthia McEvoy has been keeping secrets for over thirty years. She's not proud of it, but it has helped her to become the strong, independent woman she is today. The same strong woman who is now trying to pick up and glue back the pieces of the relationships she's either destroyed along the way or never allowed any nourishment for. Hopefully, it's not too late. Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning to understand how behaviors start, why they continue for so long, and where to begin the healing process.
