Someplace Extraordinary
A woman driven by a lifelong compulsion to run finds herself stranded on a fractured Saskatchewan ranch, where the volatile family she’s drawn into — and the young woman she tries to save — force her to confront the past she’s spent her life escaping.
Someplace Extraordinary is a character‑driven psychological suspense about identity, belonging, and the fault lines we pretend aren’t there.
High‑flyer executive Kathryn Dunnegan intends to stay with rancher Garrett Albright only long enough to recover from her injuries. Instead, she becomes entangled in the family’s shifting emotional currents — especially those surrounding Deirdre, a fragile yet volatile young woman whose history and fierce loyalty mirror the wounds Kathryn shares only with those closest to her.
When a violent figure from Deirdre’s past resurfaces, the ranch’s fault lines crack open, exposing a danger Kate never saw coming. A tragic act of sacrifice forces her to confront the past she’s tried so hard to erase — and to claim the name, and the self, she’s spent her life running from.
Polishing
The Beekeeper's Wife
After a fire destroys their home and kills her husband, the beekeeper’s wife learns that a security box was found beneath their bedroom floorboards — a hidden cache of secrets that may have been what cost Austin his life. As strange and dangerous events press in, Claire Prescott’s trauma‑linked panic attacks surge. She struggles to know who to trust — least of all Austin’s best friend, a cop who suddenly feels more threatening than familiar.
Claire Prescott suffers from trauma‑linked panic attacks that have shaped her entire adult life — a legacy of her mother’s and grandmother’s relentless cruelty. Mundane triggers send her spiralling into complete psychological collapse. She prefers isolation to becoming the town Freak. After one too many public episodes, she retreats fully onto BeezNeez, the Prescotts’ bee farm and gift shop, refusing to step beyond the property line.
When her husband Austin dies suddenly, Claire’s fragile stability shatters. Days later, a secret box found in the ashes of their burned home pulls her into a mystery she never asked for. An absurd bequeathment letter drags her to a public auction, where three quilts tucked inside an old trunk hint at a past she never knew.
Soon after, strangers begin prowling the grounds at night. A daytime home invasion leaves her shaken and exposed. As danger closes in, Claire’s only lifelines are Olivia, her steadfast friend, and Emile, the seasoned apiarist who refuses to let her face the threat alone.
Letters, three quilts, and an unexpected stranger become the unlikely forces that push Claire toward the truth — and toward reclaiming control before everything unravels.
