Everyone has a story to tell.

But not everyone has the skills to tell a story.

​

Playing the role of companion to Tempest Webster should have been an easy gig for Gillian Locke. A whole month spent on the infamous Webster coastal island known as The Devil’s Sanctuary is exactly the break she needs. It’s private and remote, the perfect place to spend a few weeks.

​

But like any family, the Websters have skeletons in their closets. With whispers of unethical practices and the ghosts of their dirty deeds locked away to rot, the last thing this once great literary family needs is for more of their sins to see the light of day. Being cancelled by society was hard enough the first time. They couldn’t possibly survive a second round.

And they certainly don’t want the world to figure out the truth.

​

Like birds, weeds often flock together.

​

Sawyer Webster is no exception. Plagued by his family’s bad behavior, their scandals have hindered his own writing career. The only thing working in his favor is that humans easily forget, yet just as the Websters’ misdeeds are becoming yesterday’s news, Gillian Locke arrives on The Devil’s Sanctuary. The infuriating woman is determined to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong, all while planting herself firmly under his skin. Wanting her far away from his family, Sawyer will do whatever it takes to get Gillian off the island.

Before someone ends up dead.
