Unhinged
A Leap Year's Day wedding proposal is the happiest day of Olivia and Elliot's life. But will their happiness be short lived?
When Olivia drives home to tell Aunt Kim, she met a guy and they are getting married, she's attacked before she delivers her good news.
Lying in the hospital with amnesia, she believes she's eighteen-years-old again, and Elliot does not exist to her.
After not hearing from Olivia, Elliot finds he knows very little about the woman he loves. A private person raised by her single aunt, Olivia shared very little about her life before college at Iowa State. With no social media, when she doesn't answer the phone, he has no other way to reach her. If only he knew Aunt Kim's full name. He hires a private investigator to find his fiancé in the large metropolis of Kansas City.
Rage builds within him with the news of her assault.
A week passes. Seeing Olivia in her hospital bed, missing four years of her life, breaks Elliot's heart. It's hard to see his fiancé believe she's in love with her high school sweetheart. Especially when the guy is a close family friend and visits her daily. Anger further festers as Elliot attempts to help Olivia remember the past four years, cope with her assault, heal from her physical injuries, and spend time daily with Olivia's ex.
Will Olivia regain her memory? Will Elliot learn to control is rage?

Book five in The Locals is officially live, y'all… and this one's been a long time coming.

Perfect for readers who love found family stories, small-town charm with a little grit, and a slow burn that pays off in full.

Haley Rhoades’s writing is another bucket-list item coming to fruition, just like meeting Stephen Tyler and skydiving. As she continues to write romance and young adult books, she plans to complete her remaining bucket-list items, including ghost-hunting, storm-chasing, and bungee jumping. She is a Netflix-binging, Converse-wearing, avidly-reading, traveling geek.
A team player, Haley thrived as her spouse’s career moved the family of four eight times to three states. One move occurred eleven days after a C-section. Now with two adult sons, Haley copes with her newly emptied nest by writing and spoiling Nala, her Pomsky. A fly on the wall might laugh as she talks aloud to her fur-baby all day long.
Haley’s under five-foot, fun-size stature houses a full-size attitude. Her uber-competitiveness in all things entertains, frustrates, and challenges family and friends. Not one to shy away from a dare, she faces the consequences of a lost bet no matter the humiliation. Her fierce loyalty extends from family, to friends, to sports teams.
Haley’s guilty pleasures are Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Her other loves include all things peanut butter, Star Wars, mathematics, and travel. Past day jobs vary tremendously from an elementary special-education para-professional, to a YMCA sports director, to a retail store accounting department, and finally a high school mathematics teacher.
Haley resides with her husband and fur-baby in the Des Moines area. This Missouri-born girl enjoys the diversity the Midwest offers.
