Theresa DaLayne

Maya knows she's doing the right thing by moving to Alaska with her parents, but that doesn't mean she has to be happy about it. Forced to give up a scholarship to a prestigious art school, she relocates to a Podunk town with one college the size of her high school cafeteria, all to help hold her family together after the death of her little sister. But a fresh start can only do so much. Jake doesn't like handouts and he certainly doesn't need any distractions. Working on a salmon boat in Kodiak, Alaska is the only way to pay for his mother's surgery back in the lower forty-eight. Juggling college courses and constant worry about his mother's health, Jake couldn't imagine anything else fitting into his life. That is, until he meets Maya, the sexy Californian artist who tints his world in technicolor. But when Maya's family starts to crumble and Jake's mom takes a turn for the worse, will they drag each other down, or can they find what they were missing all along? In this new adult romance, Theresa DaLayne paints a swoon-worthy story about life under the midnight sun, following your heart, and learning to live on the edge.

Tales of Myth and Legend Retold

Lore

Their empires have fallen, but their mythology lives on... Zanya Coreandero is a seventeen-year-old orphan with only a single friend and no hope for a normal life. Diagnosed with anxiety and night terrors, no one believes her cuts and bruises are a result of an evil entity, and not a brutal case of self-harm. With the only home she's ever known being the isolated institution-where breakfast is a handful of medications, the psychiatry sessions are mandatory, and her every move is watched-the only relief is her red-haired roommate named Tara, who's more like a little sister than her best friend. Free will is strong, but destiny is stronger... When Zanya is kidnapped, she meets a group of gifted Mayan descendants, each with a unique ability. Gone from a nameless castaway to the only hope of mankind, Zanya is forced to make a grueling decision: bond with an enchanted stone and save humanity from rising underworld forces, or watch helplessly as Earth falls victim to a familiar dark deity from her dreams. This time, he's playing for keeps. A wicked secret hides behind a handsome face... When Arwan, a dark-eyed timebender, takes interest in Zanya's mission, it's unclear if his intention is to help, or if he's on a hell-bent mission for revenge. Wary of falling for another guy with major secrets and a tainted past, Zanya fights to keep her distance. If only her heart gave her a choice.
