Read Homecoming NOW!

Who says you can’t go home again?

For years, Kara Ballard Torrington has kept her distance from the town in Maine where she was raised and the boisterous, often-troubled Ballard family. She’s made a whole new life for herself on Gansett Island that is upended by a phone call in which she learns that two of her brothers have been accused of murder. When her parents ask her husband, celebrated attorney Dan Torrington, to come help them, Kara is forced to confront the drama she left behind in Maine as well as a whole new set of issues that have arisen in her absence. As Dan works to free her brothers, Kara confronts some of the unfinished business she left behind in Maine. 

One of our favorite couples from the Gansett Island Series takes a fraught journey to Kara’s hometown, where their bond becomes even stronger as they face these new challenges together—with a goal of returning home to Gansett before their baby is born.

For more about Dan & Kara’s story, make sure you’ve read Dan & Kara: A Downeast Prequel. 

Preorder Illustrious to Read in April!

On the eve of their 50th anniversary celebration they face the first serious threat to their vaunted marriage….

Max Godfrey and Stella Flynn are Hollywood royalty, but their successful careers in film and music mean far less to them than their marriage, their four children and twelve grandchildren. Family is what matters to Max and Stella, and they’re looking forward to a weekend of anniversary celebrations, Christmas in Utah and a get-away with family and friends to Mexico when a blast from Max’s past threatens to undo everything. A tell-all Hollywood memoir jeopardizes all they hold dear in a way neither of them would’ve thought possible.

Their son, superstar actor Flynn Godfrey, and his colleagues at Quantum Productions, all of them family to Max and Stella, go into battle mode to protect a couple beloved around the world, but especially to those closest to them. 

Six years after FAMOUS concluded the Quantum Series, ILLUSTRIOUS brings us back to Hollywood to revisit the couples and characters we fell in love with as they face their biggest threat yet. But this found family has never met a challenge they couldn’t rise to, and this time is no different. We’ll also be introduced to a new set of characters who’ll headline a new series starting later in 2025!

Buckle up. Quantum’s back!

READ State of Alert TODAY!

     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Great characters, awesome storylines, an extremely difficult book to put down after the first pages. Lots of laughs, a few tears on occasion but just the most enjoyable read.” Amazon reviewer

The first couple is on full alert, deflecting new threats from near and far…

Lieutenant Sam Holland has seen just about everything as a D.C. homicide detective, but she’s never been asked to lie to her closest colleagues and her husband—until now. With national security on the line, Sam makes a deal with the devil that quickly comes back to haunt her as she assists in a baffling case that leads right back to the Oval Office, where her husband is mourning the loss of his trusted aide, Navy Lieutenant Juan Rodriguez. 

For President Nick Cappuano, the betrayal cuts deep. The military advisers he inherited from the Nelson administration plotted to remove him from office, and now, the young man who warned him of their deceit is dead. But nothing is as it appears, and with the NCIS building a case against the disgraced Joint Chiefs, Nick is forced to carry on with the duties of his office while wondering who’s coming for him next.

Sam no sooner gets one situation under control when another murder victim requires her full attention. A woman tied to an earlier cold case is found dead in her home in a case that’ll have Sam and her team digging deep into the past to find a ruthless killer while wondering if they should be looking much closer to home for the person who wanted her dead.

As if they didn’t have enough to worry about, a new threat to their happy family has them considering drastic measures to protect the ones they love the most. While storms rage all around them, Sam and Nick take refuge in each other and find the strength they need to carry on.
