Young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are addicted to the Internet. No surprise there. It’s easy for parents and teachers, politicians and pundits to brush off Internet addiction as a harmless, inevitable consequence of the digital age, a small price to pay for carrying the information super-highway around in our pockets. But what if I told you that young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are stuck in a feedback loop of digital sexual stimulation, addicted not just to the Internet but to pornography and social media?

Dale and Deloris Justen have searched for weeks for the perfect place for a long delayed honeymoon. When the messages start showing up in Deloris' business emails, the one she uses only for her book sales under the name of Deloris Blue, she wondered if the last name had something to do with the fantastic offers and coupons for the Bonnie Blue Lakeside Lodge. She never considered for a second the final decision to go there was anyone's but her own.

The train ride was going to be the first trip the twins had ever taken. Tilley and Faith Hall had just met their absentee father, Tillis Grasdon, a few weeks before; now they are going to live with him and his mother, Agnes. They have their new clothes in new suitcases, for their life of extreme poverty had never afforded them anything new until now. With promises of the finest schools and a better life in Roanoke, Virginia, they leave their mother, Marcie Hall, and Wilmington, NC, behind them.

Life at Paradise Plantation is full of hazards in 1886, just as expected on any working ranch. This is why Tilley decided to move to Charleston and study medicine, thus following in the footsteps of her uncle Grayson Clark. Then, just when it seems her life is charmed, she breaks her leg riding a stubborn stallion, so her plans are suddenly out of reach. That is, unless her twin, Faith, can be persuaded to go with her. Then Faith agrees to take classes for Tilley, who is bucking authority in her classes.

Freya Swenson is being pulled from the sea. As the rough hands lift her aboard, she looks around. The realization hits her. It is him, the man in her yearlong nightmare. He has her now, and like a fool she delivered herself right to him. A year ago, she was planning a future--her own fleet of merchant ships and her dreams to sail the seas like her father had taught her. Then the nightmares began after her mother's death. A man so vile that she would elect death rather than ever be handed over to him.

Tilley and Faith Hall are living with their grandmother Agnes Grasdon on the plantation they now owned near Smith Mountain in Bedford County, Virginia. Agnes had obtained the massive mansion and over a thousand acres for back taxes, giving her granddaughters the love and security they had never had in their young lives. As Marcie Hall is dying, she is taking a secret to her grave: She had signed over guardianship of her twins to Judge Joe and Beth Blackwell, the last people Agnes Grasdon would want her grandchildren raised by. Once again, Marcie's bad decision will cost her daughters.

It would be just another beautiful day in the Deep South, if you were not a slave. Off in the distance, the Whip-poor-will is softly singing, lying to everyone, like all is right with the world. How can it be so happy when a child is lying naked in the hay, while its very young mother, covered in blood, is worried she will be killed for having him? What if Madam Tibbs found her child, the very blonde heir to Tibb's Plantation? The hanging trees in the woods are calling her name, "Lucinda, come float from my branches, sweetmeat, for you girl, have blasphemed God and your Master Tibbs."

Justene Bell always wanted to travel, to escape the valley she had existed in for many years. Her spiritual mother, Odesa Freewoman Bell expects the same sacrifices from this girl, the one she had stolen as her own daughter. Together they claim the Bell House, for in the backyard lies a horrible family secret.

Willowdean is in the warmth of her cave, dressing in furs for today as she must hunt, although the blizzard is still raging across the valley. This is her domain, her wonderful valley of Natitta.

When Ava the Dragon's Daughter finds an orphaned fae burned and covered in wood ashes in a swine pen, she quickly takes in the baby as her own. Each day Fae's powers emerge letting Ava know that her adopted daughter is no ordinary fairy. Swenson Castle is the place Fae is destined to live, for there, under Freya's army's protection, she will live to inherit her powers to defeat her many enemies.

Freya's Army is growing in Norway and at her North American base in Virginia as Millison's five brothers go there to live as their father abandons them. Leah's daughter Shay has adjusted to her new life in Norway finally, after a rough first year of adjusting to life as an immortal. The family business is expanding, and it adds new challenges to the already hectic Swenson castle. All the while everyone is aware to be "careful what they ask for".
