Solstice Dayton starts a new life in Key West after escaping a psychiatric ward, but a ruthless anthropologist and modern-day pirates have other plans for her singer era.
She mostly just wants to survive high school, sing on the beach, and pretend the horrible accident that killed her mother never happened. Easy, right? Not even close. Her memory of life before the island is hazy, her new puppy is the only thing keeping her sane, and her quiet life on a boat keeps getting wrecked by pirates, villains, and one very inconvenient treasure map everyone wants.
Then there’s the boy who helped her escape a psychiatric hospital, who is now free and very much interested in picking up where they left off. Add in a missing grandma, a secret underwater cavern, a singing gig at a surf shop, and a whole lot of trouble waiting under the waves, and Solstice’s life is officially a disaster.
Just when she starts making waves with her music on the beach and in bars, a fight at karaoke reminds her she’s not just a singer, she’s also a dancer with a killer kick. But Key West doesn’t stay sunny for long. When a hurricane slams the island and leaves everything in ruins, Solstice’s hidden cavern is exposed, and outside forces close in to steal what she’s been hiding.
If you love YA dystopian fantasy, slow-burn romance, pirate adventure, treasure hunts, and strong heroines, this sun-soaked, storm-battered, genre-bending series is for you. Fans of Scooby-Doo, She’s All That, and Clive Cussler will ride the wave in The Sunbeams Haven series, a young adult sea adventure where surfing, singing, and treasure hunting all share the same deck.
The perfect wave is out there, but so is rough water.
Solstice Dayton starts a new life in Key West after escaping a psychiatric ward, becoming a singing treasure hunter, but her long-lost boyfriend returns, stirring up old wounds.
At the edge of darkness, one girl finds the light.
Solstice Dayton fights modern-day pirates searching for her ancestral home in the rubble off Key West in the wake of a hurricane, while two men emerge from her past determined to control her future.
The darkest storms form behind the bluest skies.
Solstice Dayton reconciles with her past, but it’s not enough to quiet the storm in her heart when Key West is threatened by an old enemy.
