Written by Eleanor Wells

   Allison Carmichael doesn't remember anything before the bright light, much less how she came to be in a soothing white room with nothing but a train ticket to an unknown destination. Through encounters with Bennett Klein and Victoria Shears, a Hollywood couple she idolized, Allison learns that she was the lead singer of a band on the brink of massive fame. As her memories return, she undergoes a liminal journey through her past and the choices that led her to a hospital room, barely clinging to life. Will she stay in this world between life and death? Or will she catch the train to the Great Beyond and whatever awaits? "Our Lifelong Dreams" is a captivating, bite-sized story of life, death, and unmet expectations.

Inspired by the worlds of The Legend of the Flying Dutchman and Beauty and the Beast, this action-packed fantasy filled with searing romance, outlawed magic, and seafaring danger.

Fenna Terrigan never expected to leave her seaside village. She was too quiet, too gentle, and far too kind to take on life outside of the bookshop she works at. But when her brother shows up on her doorstep begging for aid with a pirate captain hot on his tail, Fenna will do anything to protect him.

Devlin Cato is the captain of a cursed ship and can step foot on land for one day every seven years. Once again, he’s found himself using it to chase a deserter across the continent. His hunt is short-lived when Fenna agrees to take on her brother’s twenty-five-year debt in exchange for leaving her smoldering city to heal.

As Fenna spends more time aboard The Phantom Night with the ship’s mysterious and seductive captain, she soon finds herself caught between loyalty to her brother and her fiery passion for Devlin Cato. But the path to ending the curse isn’t as easy as it seems when Fenna’s dark secret is discovered, a secret that threatens the very foundation of the continent’s stability and one that anyone would be willing to kill for.
