In 1939 Maine, appearances are everything—and the powerful Orwell family has spent generations ensuring that no scandal escapes its carefully guarded walls.

When a police raid exposes Oliver Orwell’s forbidden relationship with another man, his father, Virgil, acts swiftly to protect the family name. Oliver is sent to the Golden House, an exclusive private psychiatric hospital where discretion is guaranteed and its celebrated director, Dr. Ira Golden, promises to cure what society condemns. Behind the institution’s elegant gates, however, compassion masks cruelty, treatment becomes punishment, and patients who resist are stripped of their dignity and control.

Oliver soon learns that survival depends upon concealing his true thoughts from the doctors determined to remake him. Isolated, betrayed, and subjected to increasingly dangerous treatments, he clings to the hope that his father will recognize the terrible mistake he has made.

Then Oliver’s mother, Anna, is admitted to the same institution.

Fragile after years of disappointment and loneliness, Anna initially seems to improve under Ira Golden’s personal attention. She begins painting again and finds comfort in the doctor’s apparent understanding. But Ira’s interest in her gradually moves beyond the boundaries of medicine. As his fascination deepens into obsession, Anna becomes caught between the physician she has learned to trust and the son who fears that trust will destroy her.

After Oliver leaves the Golden House, he cannot leave its horrors behind. When Anna suddenly vanishes, Ira insists that she escaped. The evidence supports his account, yet Oliver knows his mother would never have disappeared without saying goodbye. Determined to uncover the truth, he must challenge a respected doctor, penetrate an institution protected by wealth and reputation, and confront the father whose choices placed them both in danger.

Former patients are afraid to speak, employees have reasons to remain silent, and every clue seems to lead back to corridors the hospital would prefer forgotten. The closer Oliver comes to understanding what happened, the more dangerous the secrets surrounding Ira Golden become.

As Europe moves toward war, the Orwell family begins to unravel beneath the weight of its secrets. Oliver’s search forces him to decide whether preserving his family’s legacy is worth surrendering the truth—or himself.

Atmospheric and unsettling, The Golden House is a historical psychological thriller about obsession, identity, betrayal, and the courage required to resist those who disguise control as compassion.

Darcy Clark never expected to give up her dreams to save the family business. But when a hit-and-run accident leaves her mother in a special-care facility, Darcy puts her own plans on hold to help her father keep their struggling landscaping company afloat. Romance is the last thing on her mind. Especially when someone begins sabotaging their jobs and threatening the business they’ve worked so hard to save.

Darcy is handed an unexpected opportunity: a major city-park landscaping project. The town hires at-risk students from her former high school to help. Their teacher, Andy Fitzpatrick, volunteers to supervise his students, and sparks fly the moment he and Darcy meet.

Andy is steady, patient, and far too young for her. Worse, he’s the pastor’s son. Darcy knows a relationship with him could complicate everything, but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the attraction between them. For the first time in years, Darcy dares to imagine a future that includes more than work and family obligations.

But someone has other plans.

When the city-park project is sabotaged just days before the deadline, Darcy suspects one of Andy’s troubled students. Andy refuses to believe the boy is responsible and sets out to prove Darcy wrong. As they work together to uncover the truth, their growing attraction becomes impossible to deny.

Then Darcy’s old boyfriend reveals a shocking secret—one that connects Andy to the hit-and-run accident that changed her family’s life forever. The man stealing her heart may hold the key to the mystery surrounding her mother’s accident.

Now Darcy must decide whom to trust.

Can she uncover the truth before it destroys everything she’s worked to save—or will the secrets of the past cost her the love she never expected to find?

Haunted by the dead. Trapped in the past. And running out of time.

Some people tell themselves white lies to protect their ego. I do it to protect my soul. I’m Kat and I’ve had to actively disbelieve in ghosts since one tried to possess me when I was nine. Disbelieving keeps me safe…

Until my junior year, when my favorite professor asks me to work with my handsome rival Evan to help solve a century-old murder mystery—an opulent wedding night gone horribly wrong. A bloody turret room, a missing bride and groom, hints of a haunting, and whispers of a curse.

I refuse to spend my summer working with Evan at a haunted castle. I won’t risk the ghosts invading my life again. But a single photograph of the wedding party seals my fate. The ghost that saved me and the ghost that tried to possess me were living, breathing bridesmaids at that doomed wedding.

Now, I need to face the ghosts and figure out our connection. Evan thinks this is just a school project, but he’s wrong. While exploring the turret room, we stumble upon the castle’s greatest secret when we slip through a magic portal and wake up with our souls trapped inside the bodies of two wedding guests in 1886. Which changes everything.

With only each other to rely on, we race to stop the wedding-night murders and find a way back to our own time—and our own bodies—before our souls disappear forever.


If you’re seeking a gothic mystery filled with the paranormal to keep you reading beyond your bedtime, a heart-pounding twist ending, an irresistible slow-burn romance, and a race through time you won’t forget, join Kat on her thrilling adventure!

Confidence is Action - Self-help book by Tricia Conyers

What if the reason you don’t feel confident isn’t because you lack confidence—but because you’ve been waiting for confidence to come first?

Confidence Is Action: Become Your Most Brilliant, Brave, and Bold Self challenges one of the most common assumptions about confidence: that you need to feel ready, certain, or fearless before you act. Instead, Tricia Conyers shows that confidence is built through what you do, especially when fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty are still present.

Drawing on practical tools, research, and the honest experiences of women navigating real moments of doubt and growth, Confidence Is Action explores the patterns that keep women waiting, hesitating, overthinking, and playing smaller than they are capable of. It then offers a different way forward: taking purposeful action and using the evidence created by those actions to strengthen confidence over time.

At the heart of the book is the Confidence Wheel®, a practical framework built around three dimensions of confidence: Brilliant, Brave, and Bold. Readers are invited to recognise their strengths and expertise, act even when they don’t have certainty, and use their voice to advocate for themselves and what matters to them.

This is not a book about eliminating fear or pretending self-doubt doesn’t exist. It is for women who want to speak up, pursue meaningful goals, navigate change, take opportunities, trust what they know, and stop waiting to feel completely ready.

Whether the next step is personal or professional, Confidence Is Action offers a practical reminder: you don’t have to find confidence before you move forward. You build it by moving.

Martin County Sheriff Detective Marcus Brubaker, worn down by fatigue and personal grief, is jolted awake by his ringing phone. Outside his condo, blue-white lightning flashes across the midnight sky, followed by thunder that shakes Fairmont, Minnesota, to its core. Brubaker drives into the atmospheric hell to investigate a brutal hit-and-run murder that leaves the victim’s face unrecognizable. Local obstetrician Bradley Ferguson was hit and dragged while changing a flat tire on his Jeep Wrangler in a deluge of rain. His lifeless body lies in the muddy water covering a rural Martin County highway. Brubaker recognized the Jeep’s vanity license plate, DRSTORK. A streak of green paint on a lug wrench leads to the murder weapon, a 1955 Studebaker truck found nearby. Evidence points toward Trevor Jacobi as the culprit behind the steering wheel of the death mobile. He is missing with a four-hour head start. A second victim, Jacobi’s elderly father, Earl Jacobi, is found dead in the truck registered in his name. Brubaker now has two murder inquiries. His probes uncover layered family dynamics, revealing abuse and estrangement. Leadership conflicts within the Sheriff’s Department hinder progress. The chase for Jacobi extends from Minnesota to Florida, revealing his aggressive tendencies and criminal schemes, including money laundering, illegal immigrant shakedowns, and offshore drug trafficking, plus a missing million dollars linked to Jacobi’s Cuban-American boss. Brubaker and Tampa police clash over jurisdictional authority once Jacobi is captured. The case deepens with the suspected double murder-for-hire of a Tampa Civil Rights advocate and the Cuban-American’s wife. All evidence points to Jacobi and his former boss, who has fled to Cuba. A vulnerable, unreliable witness to Jacobi’s crime spree is murdered along with two officers escorting him to protective custody. Brubaker relies heavily on Corporal Linda Michaels, whose friendship, training, and instincts support him. Their bond is both professional and emotional. She is in love with Brubaker. He wavers, nostalgically unable to let go of old memories. The investigation climaxes with violent clashes against hired thugs from Florida attempting to recover stolen cash. Michaels’s marksmanship saves Brubaker’s life at one point. Ultimately, it comes down to Brubaker and Jacobi in a fight to the death, leaving the detective injured and needing hospital care. Jacobi is worse for wear, requiring multiple surgeries, lying in pain and agony behind steel bars, wearing Brubaker’s handcuffs.
