Grave Homecoming
2015
Maddie Graves is returning home, and it’s under unfortunate circumstances. Following her mother Olivia’s death, someone has to take care of Maddie’s cantankerous grandmother Maude, and the family tree is almost limbless now.
It’s not easy for Maddie to return to small-town life in Blackstone Bay, mostly because the boy she left behind is still there – and she’s drawn to him the second she sees him again.
Nick Winters has always been in love with Maddie. At a certain point, he decided there was nothing he could do but let her go. When she returns to town after a ten-year absence, his world is upended.
Maddie’s reintegration isn’t smooth, and when she discovers a dead body, all eyes are on her. Since Nick is a local police detective, he finds their lives intersecting with alarming frequency. He knows she’s hiding something, and he’s determined to find out what it is.
Maddie and Nick are drawn together, but they have a few obstacles in their way – including a lifelong secret she’s kept buried: She can see and talk to ghosts. When Maddie’s life is in danger, though, Nick can’t turn away.
This duo is on a collision course with the truth, and death is stalking them every step of the way. Will they get a chance to embrace destiny, or were they doomed before they ever got a chance to begin?

Grave Insight
2015
Life should be good for Maddie Graves and Nick Winters. The only thing standing in the way of their happiness is stubbornness and doubt.

When death returns to Blackstone Bay, Maddie’s special abilities have her chasing another mystery. Nick is going along for the ride, even though he’s afraid for her safety. He knows what he wants, and he’s ready to claim the life he’s always yearned for. He just has to muster the courage to tell Maddie how he feels.

Grave Delight
2015
When you find the light, you finally get to embrace delight.
Nick Winters and Maddie Graves are officially a couple – and more importantly, they’re officially happy. They’re finally on the road to forever.
When a body washes up on the Lake Michigan shoreline, though, the couple finds themselves embroiled in another mystery – and the stakes are high.
Local teenager Hayley Walker was missing two weeks before her body was discovered, although her autopsy indicates she’s only been dead for twenty-four hours. Because of the age of the victim – and the way her body was discarded – the death rocks the community.
Between a suspicious boyfriend, legends of a local “pervert” running around the docks and a mysterious older fisherman, the couple have their pick of suspects. That’s on top of the teen’s parents, who are hiding a few secrets of their own.
Nick and Maddie have love on their side, even if they’re still struggling with Marla’s machinations and Cassidy’s anger at every turn.
When the pieces finally fit together, it might be too late for Maddie. Can Nick get to her in time, and can this couple give peace to a restless soul before it’s too late?

The former lady of the house, Rose Denton, still haunts the property - and she's not the only one. There's also a pesky poltergeist on the hunt.

When things come to a head, Maddie is in danger again - and this time the enemy was one she didn't see coming.
Can Nick solve the mystery in time to save Maddie? And can a long-tortured soul finally find rest?

Maddie Graves and Nick Winters are looking forward … to marriage and forever. Before that happens, they have to look to the past and overcome another obstacle.
Todd Winthrop, the man who tried killing Maddie when she first returned to town, is up for trial. Maddie and Nick have been called to testify, but before that happens, they have to solve an eerily similar murder.
Shelby Capshaw was blonde, young, and her body was discovered close to Nick and Maddie’s house. She’s killed in the exact manner Todd’s previous victim died, which could be enough to cause reasonable doubt.
Nick is determined to make sure Todd gets what’s coming to him, and that includes a life behind bars. Before that happens, Shelby’s murder needs to be solved and another killer must be removed from the street.
The working theory is that the killer has ties to Todd and is trying to influence the outcome of his trial. Nick doesn’t have enough leads to point him in the right direction, though. He’s going to need a little help from his psychic girlfriend.
Nick and Maddie are a determined team. That doesn’t mean death won’t come stalking and tear them apart.

A local man is shot and killed in his own house, his wife present and accounted for at the time of the murder. She denies doing the deed, but since her husband was cheating on her – and with more than one person – suspicion follows her at every turn … especially since she was the only one in the house at the time.
Maddie is convinced that the whole story isn’t being told, that a piece of the puzzle is missing. Nick values her opinion, but he also recognizes that Maddie’s soft heart often takes control of her practical brain. Still, he admits things don’t add up and he’s unwilling to look away until he has all the answers.
It’s a race to happily ever after. Maddie and Nick are looking forward to the future. The past has a few tasks left for them to solve, though.
Forever and always are here, as long as death doesn’t part them at the last second.
