Tru Parker didn’t know how ideal her life was until everything normal and safe evaporated in an instant. With her mother gone and nightmares plaguing her sleep, it takes the iron will of her best friend to help her fit in again at school. But that’s hard to do when supernaturals start popping up all around her and she learns that one of them killed her mother. Even worse, she realizes she might not be human herself. 

Zander Hughes doesn’t know exactly why he came to Scotts Valley, but when he sees Tru for the first time, he suspects that she’s the reason. Their connection is instant and electrifying. He may not be like anyone in his supernatural family, but he knows that what he feels for Tru is impossible for someone like himself—unless everything he’d been taught was wrong. Despite their mutual distrust, when danger comes for Tru, he will do everything in his power to protect her.

Unlikely alliances form around Tru, and together they work to debunk supernatural lore and decipher a prophecy that places Zander and herself at the center of it.

The True Nature Series

DAD WAITED IN THE car outside the entrance to the rec center while I dashed inside. Kids streamed into the building, goggles and swim caps in hand, their mothers toting large bags. The automatic doors slid open and the smell of chlorine washed over me like a friendly hello. I smiled in relief to see the very person I was looking for behind the front desk and called out a greeting. He looked up from the computer. 


"Well, if it isn't Tru Parker," he smiled as I walked up to the counter. "How's school?" Maverick was a cute mix of Irish and Filipino, with brown hair and gray eyes. A smattering of freckles dusted his cheeks and his eyes tilted just enough to make him look like he was smiling even when he wasn't. He was a little taller than me with wide, muscled shoulders.
