The Regret Series
The first book, The Worst Regret, begins in Vermont in 1986 where Nice, must decide what rules to follow. The rules of love or the rules of duty in her relationships with her clients and her family. The next book in the series takes place on Womyn’s Land in New Mexico, six years later, where some of the characters from the first book now reside. Another book in the series takes place on the street-performing avenues of Honolulu in the 2010s. The stories are interconnected by parents, children, lovers, straight, gay, trans, lesbian, and bi-, struggling through the lies that have constrained them from becoming their best selves. There is love and hate, failure and triumph, and, of course, lots of regrets…so many regrets.
The Worst Regret
She built her life around protecting other people’s children. It’s how Nice Collins lives with the worst mistake she ever made.
Vermont, 1986. SRS Family caseworker, Nice keeps her world small and controlled—until her runaway brother reappears after ten years, dragging the past with him.
Then a routine investigation into a girl’s broken arm on a remote farm puts her in the path of the formidable Figgy Harrington. The community whispers cult. Nice’s boss sees opportunity. But the more time she spends at the farm, the less certain she becomes about what the real danger is—and who needs protecting from whom.
Caught between her growing feelings for Figgy, her ailing brother, a mother pressing her to come home, and a boss willing to destroy lives to make his case, Nice must decide who to trust, what to believe, and what she’s willing to risk if she’s wrong.
A gripping small-town lesbian suspense set against the paranoia and prejudice of the 1980s—where there is no right answer, only working out what you can live with.
