The Hush left one man alive in every hundred. Under the Accords, a fertile man belongs to the state, and a woman who hides one is breaking federal law.

High above Evergreen, in the mountain counties that never quite got round to enforcing the Accords, one man keeps a lamp burning in his window. One by one, the women who see it climb the hill.

Will the lamp bring them in — and once it has, can the house keep them?

The first book of The Lamp in the Window: a slow-burning, frankly adult romance of a found family, for readers 18+.

The house on the mountain has become a household. Now it must reach beyond the hill — into a world of registries, shortages and quiet foreign power — and come home with what it went for.

Can the household hold together when the world below starts paying attention?

Book Two of The Lamp in the Window: frankly adult romance for readers 18+.

Winter has closed over the household on the mountain. Below the hill the Accords have drawn closer — checkpoints, lists, a grid that cannot be trusted — and someone has already come to test the house.

Now it must leave the hill again — farther this time, into a city holding its breath, for something that will not keep if they wait.

Can the household hold through the dark, and come home to the lamp?

Book Three of The Lamp in the Window: frankly adult romance for readers 18+.

Spring has come to the household on the mountain. The lamp still burns, and the man who lit it has quietly begun to give each woman in the house the adventure she had stopped letting herself imagine — a stage, a road, a quest, a night she thought the Hush had cancelled.

But joy is a dangerous gift in a watched world. Not everything the house hopes for will keep, and below the hill someone has started writing down the cars.

Can the household hold on to its joy — and to one another — through what it cannot keep?

Book Four of The Lamp in the Window: frankly adult romance for readers 18+.

Winter has come back to the household on the mountain, and with it a date that no one wants to count. On Christmas Eve each woman in the house ties a wish to the great stair on a green ribbon — and this year, the house means to grant them.

But the world below the hill keeps files of its own. In a stolen catalogue lies the trail of a collector who has never been named, and the counties have started making lists.

Can the household make its wishes come true — and still protect itself?

Book Five of The Lamp in the Window: frankly adult romance for readers 18+.

Snow lies on the mountain, and in it, by the mailbox at the foot of the drive, someone has left the footprints of a man who stood a long time and watched the house.

It is the year the household has waited for: a child is coming, and every week of it is counted. But the world below the hill has learned where the lamp burns, and it is no longer content to look.

When hiding has stopped working, can a house that was built to be hidden choose to be seen?

Book Six of The Lamp in the Window: frankly adult romance for readers 18+.

A boy is born at dawn in the house above Evergreen, and in a world with almost no men left, a living son is worth more than anyone can safely say.

Then a letter comes from the far north, from a yard at the end of the world where a ship has waited through the silent years. The house’s engineer is called to finish her, and the only road home is the old sea road.

Can the household bring its ship through the storm, and come home to the lamp?

Book Seven of The Lamp in the Window: frankly adult romance for readers 18+.

Winter has settled on the household on the mountain, and a road that has been waiting for years is finally taken. The lamp still burns in the east window. The house sends its own out into a wide, emptied country, and keeps the fire for their return.

But the world below the hill does not sleep. A winter storm takes the lines down, and what the house has been quietly keeping has to be kept alive without them.

Can the household hold the road, and the house, and still come home to the lamp?
