Termination Dust
Book 2 of The Tundra Secrets Series
Coming February 1, 2027
Any day now, termination dust will tint the Alaskan mountaintops white to signal the coming cold.
For Mae, it’s a chilling countdown. She has spent a decade running from the cold and calculating Rocky Cooper, and now hides in the wilderness with her young daughter.
Beyond the mountains a storm is brewing. Rocky’s adult children, Jesse and Jeremiah, hunt for the truth about their vanished mother. When they unearth a decades-old murder and a tangle of mistaken identities, old wounds threaten to expose Mae.
As long-buried secrets surface and false identities unravel, Jesse and Jeremiah are forced to confront a legacy of abuse and betrayal – and may be Mae’s best chance at survival.
Winter is approaching. But as the darkness envelopes Alaska, it might be time to bring the truth to light.
Untamed horses, buried secrets, and a woman who won’t back down.
Secrets hiding on the tundra…
A woman with a fierce will to prove herself and nothing to lose, Bunny O’Kelly doesn’t arrive in Alaska so much as storms into it.
It’s 1984, and cut out of her family’s farm, she is determined to make her own way.
She talks herself onto Buck Miller’s horse ranch in the Alaskan wilderness, but the welcome is cold, the work is brutal, and a resentful ranch hand only makes things worse.
That all changes when Bunny lifts a tarp in the garage to find a beat-up truck.
Two years earlier, Buck’s daughter Katie was killed in an accident. Everyone has moved on. But Bunny learned to trust her instincts long ago, and something won’t let her leave this alone.
As the story moves deftly between 1982 and 1984, the truth of what happened to Katie begins to surface. And with it comes a danger that is still very much alive.
In Alaska, secrets have a way of staying buried… until someone stubborn enough begins to dig.
Funny, heart-wrenching, and hopeful.
Their final road trip: Four states, three sisters, two dogs, one disappointing roadside attraction, and far too many secrets . . .
Molly Casey has been living her life at full speed, but it’s about to slow down. With terminal cancer, she has one goal—get her estranged sisters talking. Her plan hinges on getting them to agree to a do-over of the last road trip their family took before everything fell apart. So, she hides her prognosis and asks them to drive her back to Seattle.
Penelope Casey, a lawyer who lives to work, and Scottie Dunn, a kennel owner whose deepest connections are with her dogs, haven’t set eyes on each other in decades. The last thing they want is to be trapped in a car together for days on end. But when their sister calls, they reluctantly hit the road for her sake.
Unfortunately, Molly’s plan to bridge the chasm between her sisters only deepens the rift as decades of misunderstandings, resentments, and secrets—a devastating accident, a withheld letter, a lineage laced with lies— spill out like dirty laundry from an overstuffed suitcase.
When Molly’s health worsens, and she can’t keep the truth about her condition hidden much longer, Penny and Scottie are forced to choose between holding on to the pain of the past or leaving it in the rearview mirror before it’s too late.
Told through heartache, laughter, and moments of unexpected tenderness, Roadside Sisters is a powerful story about sisterhood, forgiveness, and healing.
