To be born Gaian is to be born gifted. That wasn't always true, but as more infants were born with special talents of the mind, what was once considered abnormal became the majority. The ungifted were sent to Thalassa, an island chain off the coast of the mainland. These orphans grew up in a vassal kingdom forced to pay dues to its overseers. In Severance, the first book of The Sovereign, a Thalassan soldier and orphan gets wind of a plot against his island home and wages war against its oppressors. A captain's daughter fights for a love across the cultural divide. An assassin's need for power takes him on a bloody journey throughout both lands. And a princess tells the biggest lie in her nation's history, protecting her family's right to rule. With alternating perspectives of war and tragedy, love and loss, secrets, lies, and counterplots - the fight for a nation's independence starts here.

Severance

Marine Corps wife Olivia Mills is optimistic as she heads toward her husband's first deployment. She has nursing school to keep her occupied, a best friend to go through it with, and total faith in her husband. What could go wrong? Lance Corporal Matthew Mills wasn't sure he'd see combat in Afghanistan. A normal day at work takes a turn for the worse, and suddenly everything he knows is slipping away. As he recovers from his physical injuries, he realizes that some wounds take much longer to heal. He needs to come to terms with what happened before he loses himself – and the love of his life – for good. Can Olivia and Matt's love withstand the weight of PTSD? Away From You is the second book in the Back To You series, but can also be read as a standalone.

Away from You

All Ellie wants is to have a normal life. She pictures a white picket fence, a stable and loyal husband, and eventually a couple of kids. She doesn't date just anybody. She has relationships with guys like Ward Cleaver. Her best friend Spencer, on the other hand, is famous for being quite the opposite. That's why they'll always be 'just friends.' But maybe when it comes to love, what looks good on paper just isn't good enough... Spencer knows what Ellie wants for herself. In fact, he thinks she deserves every bit of it. She sure as hell deserves more than what he can offer her. But as he gets ready to leave for Marine Corps Recruit Training, he starts to think about exactly what he'll be leaving behind. As the weeks of training drag on, he can't help but think that if it weren't for the shadows of his past, he would make her his future.
