Jumping from a burning building, fleeing from a nightmarish cult to trying to find my footing in college — life's been a whirlwind.

Together, we're wading through a maze of secrets, fear, and the burning question: Can we really trust each other? Delve into the gripping tale of "Trust Me, Trust Me Not," a standalone adventure in the "Fear and Love in Gavert City" series. It's New Adult romantic suspense at its best — a poignant dance of resilience, trust, love, and the ghosts we carry with us. Join us on this roller-coaster ride through campus and heartbeats. Leaping from a blazing building? Done. Ditching the horrors of a cult led by my twisted stepdad? Check. Starting fresh in college? Easier said than done.

Then there's Hunter Harrington, part firefighter-hero, part campus enigma. He yanked me out of those flames, yet now he's fanning different kinds of sparks. Burdened by guilt and scars deeper than skin, our worlds crash into one another in a mess of plagiarism accusations. It feels like fate, but with each secret he harbors, trust becomes a fragile thing. Every day it's a tug-of-war between a hopeful future and a haunting past. And with danger dogging our every step, can Hunter and I really trust each other? Is love worth the risk when we're both targets for whoever wants to drag us back? Dive in into this suspenseful New Adult romance, "Trust Me, Trust Me Not," perfect for fans of heart-stopping suspense and emotional love stories, but be warned: my journey's a roller-coaster.

Dale Bayle wakes up with a whole new, quickly expanding range of life questions: 'Why and how, this morning, am I able to jump instantaneously from place to place?' Then: 'Why (and how) am I, today, able to float--in the air?!' Plus: 'Who is that dead man there in my bed? And if that's really me... What happens next? And what in creation is keeping me here? Must be a reason, then.' Glad for that! But just like life, he fears, this doesn't look easy. 'This is so strange. Feel so tentative...' (Who wouldn't?) 'Still, this is amazing!' Here goes...

Most of Richard Dorson's thirty years as folklorist have been spent collecting tales and legends in the remote backcountry, far from the centers of population. For this book he extended his search for folk traditions to one of the most heavily industrialized sections of the United States. Can folklore be found, he wondered, in the Calumet Region of northwest Indiana? Does it exist among the steelworkers, ethnic groups, and blacks in Gary, Whiting, East Chicago, and Hammond? In his usual entertaining style, Dorson shows that a rich and varied folklore exists in the Region. Although it differs from that of rural people, it is equally vital. Much of this urban lore finds expression in conversational anecdotes and stories that deal with pressing issues: the flight from the inner city, crime in the streets, working conditions in the steel mills, the maintenance of ethnic identity, the place of blacks in a predominantly white society. The folklore reveals strongly held attitudes such as the loathing of industrial work, resistance to assimilation, and black adoption of middle-class-white values. Miliworkers and mill executives, housewives, ethnic performers, storekeepers, and preachers tell their stories about the Region. The concerns that occupy them affect city dwellers throughout the United States. Land of the Millrats, though it depicts a special place, speaks for much of America.

Who was shooting in Crilly Woods on that fateful August day? Emma’s twin brother, Anthony, is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to his sister, and in the course of his investigations makes a terrible mistake, one that will change all their lives forever. The Outsider: sometimes those who love us most hardly know us at all. REVIEWS “A wonderfully realised evocation of a tragedy within a tight-knit Irish rural community in an age where to be different was to be ostracised. Highly recommended.” – Irish Independent. “Hunt excels at excavating the petty passions of village life … deftly blurs the lines between justice and revenge and propels her tale into the realms of true tragedy.” – Irish Times. “Masterful” – Sunday Times. “It is a finely honed piece of writing. Five stars” – Crime Fiction Lover
