Vienna didn't know anyone in Mooreville except her real estate broker, Dean Moore. But his emails didn't tell her how sexy he was. Or the instant attraction she'd feel when they finally met.

Felix Carrington helps run the family's wedding venue business as the in-house wedding photographer for Carrington Farm. His personal passion? Taking unexpected shots of his local environment.

These five compelling short stories from North of Nelson, Volume 2 will captivate even the most jaded listener with frankness and audacity. Moore holds nothing back, no subject is out of bounds, and no apologies are given as he exposes stories of incest, lust, love, and hate.

It’s been eight years since the five siblings became orphans and since twins Sebastian and Tamara stepped up to look after their younger brothers and sister with the help of their aunt, Maddie. Seb and Tam gave up their teenage years to make sure the family stayed together, but that’s been hard and they’ve grown apart. Seb is silent and stoic; Tam, on the other hand, wants to kick over the traces and catch up on the life she missed out on.

But this isn't just any search for long-lost ancestry: Charlie's father is the sole survivor of a tragic accident that killed every other child on the small island where he grew up, and Charlie's one achievement is the film she made that tells his story.
