What makes a family? For seventeen years, Hailey Cormier has known exactly who she is: Jack Cormier's perfect daughter. Driven by fear of her father leaving like her mother did when she was four, Hailey pushes herself to excel at everything she does. At the age of twenty-nine, Sarah Kincaid is still haunted by her past. Dragged from town to town all her life by a mother whose idea of love was a backhand or turning a blind eye to her creepy boyfriends, Sarah has never felt worthy of anyone's love or kindness. Until Sarah meets Jack. Within months, they are married. But can Sarah-fragile and afraid to believe her life has finally turned around-and Hailey-an angry and distrustful teenager who sees her dad's new wife as an adversary-learn to accept each other and become the family that Jack so desperately needs? The Trees Have Buds is a poignant and heart-rending journey of two women who struggle to shed their past, learn to trust, and define the true meaning of family.

When the truth is better left unsaid . . . Bradley Knighton fled to Vancouver nearly twenty years ago. It was the only way to forget the girl he let get away. Cassandra Knighton hates her husband. He stole her heart and then wasted her best years. But she stayed with him to protect a lie. Brought together to mourn the death of the family matriarch, old sibling rivalries will resurface, painful memories will reopen tender wounds, and new realities will force every member of the Knighton family to re-examine choices that were made all those years ago. But it’s that one slip of the tongue by Cassandra during a heated argument that will dig deepest and expose a secret she’d vowed to take to her grave, a truth so unforgivable that it could destroy everyone she loves. The Little Lies We Hide explores the decisions we make, the secrets we keep, and the regrets we package into convenient little lies that we learn to live with – because doing otherwise would be worse.
