According to ancient rhymes, the islanders of Ansar and Skarle are children of the volcano, born of fire and destined to be lovers. After the eruption, the prophecies are forgotten as all are forced to flee. Nobody cares about silly nursery rhymes now, certainly not Jalob. When shy medic Jalob Baleine heads to war, it isn't for romance. She only wants to help refugees who have no home or allies. Because they are kin. Jalob was born under the same glowering volcano, on an idyllic island surrounded by dolphins. Like the refugees, she fled the lava and secretly cherishes the old ways. She falls asleep, ignoring the pull of tides, and dreams of a loving touch. Who doesn't? And sure, maybe Jalob hasn't felt whole for years, but war isn't the time for fantasies. She keeps to herself and hopes someone else will sort the war out. One woman can't heal the world. After all, she has enough to do, what with tending the sick and her supervisor, Susan, always on her back. Then Jalob meets stroppy violinist, Corail Esplash. After an explosive introduction, they're forced to spend time together. Stress makes them long for a reprise, and a fragile line dances between love and hate. Inevitably, the young women exchange island stories. Corail is head-strong and rude, a typical Ansar who loves to tease and be chased. And Jalob—strong, loyal, from Skarle—has such fast legs… Could the old rhymes about destiny be right? Ah, fate. Death and war are relentless enemies, and difficult choices lie ahead. Can a shy girl rekindle the power of a dead volcano and harness the ocean? One woman can't heal the world, but maybe Jalob is the only one who can save Corail.

Kraken monsters come from the sea. Don't they? Devora Kraken seems to have everything under control and all she could ask for. Like the neighbourhood tunnels, where she can hang out with monsters and mermaids both. If sometimes it's not clear which is which, that's only normal—right? Anyway, Devi has plenty else to keep her busy, including a good cop, bad cop set of family members. And if all of that isn't enough, there's even a cute girl at the new school across town trying to get Devi's attention! From the deep waters of the past, something wakes up and marches through Mainland. One terrible night, blood is spilt, and gangs gather in the woods. Devi's cousin, Jon, leaves for the speak-and-listen trials, and nothing will be the same again. Devi sets off on a journey of discovery that will take her from her home in Exer City across Mainland and into Craw. It won't be easy—her brother Korl refuses to talk about the past, or why Jon left. He won't speak of the gun under the bed or the pile of mermaid figurines. Korl refuses to talk about anything! What's a monster anyway? Who better than Devora Kraken to find out? Book two of The Volcano Chronicles

The rules for ex-undercover cops are clear: No girlfriend, no sex, no snuggles—too risky for everyone concerned. After a year of spying on gangsters, tough Charlie couldn't agree more. She doesn't want a girlfriend or a relationship; she only needs power tools and a job in her brother's bike shop. Still, it's difficult to leave the past behind. Charlie feels bad about betraying the gangster's trust. Guilt comes with the job. So what? When a gorgeous gin artist becomes a neighbour, wanting to help is natural. Fix the fridge—yeah. Sexual attraction? Nope. Girlfriend? Double nope. All that matters is following the rules: No girlfriend, no sex, no sharing. Repeat. Rose loves summer flowers, gin, pretty clothes, and butch lesbians. Owning a cocktail shop is a dream come true, even if the responsibility is tricky for one person to bear. If only she had friends and family! A caring friend would be extremely welcome to fix the fridge and put up the shelves. It's strange how Charlie smells of wild ginger and Rose of sweet rhubarb, like an award-winning gin. Rose has secrets, too, about the past. She doesn't intend to cuddle up with Charlie. It's just that the heart wants what the heart wants. Repeat, repeat, repeat. One thing is certain… When wild ginger gets in the rhubarb, nothing can stop it.
