About this eBook

"I'm a work in progress, just like everyone else."

Although the Dea Vitae cult has been evicted from Thalia Island, Lara and her grandfather’s eco-utopia are still in peril. Rupert’s ongoing lymphoma treatment in Vancouver deposits Lara at Thalia’s helm—with no idea how to navigate the rough waters. And though Finan is back after two tense weeks of silence, the sting of his unscheduled departure lingers.


Beyond the grind of running her own “planet," Lara must contend with the reappearance of Jacinta Ramirez, a fugitive Clarke Innovations has been shielding for years. Jacinta unveils disturbing secrets that reshape the history Lara’s been fed about her late mother’s past—and how much that past threatens to derail their cumulative future.


When stress sends Lara to the bottom of a whisky bottle, Finan reminds her that slipping into old habits won’t fix what’s broken. As she tries to pull herself together, a tragedy brings her and Finan close again, but with a series of cryptic clues arriving on Thalia, the mystery of the cult, and its sought-after treasure, deepens.


Lara and Finan must work with investigators, and a few unsavory players, to dismantle the sinister machinations of Dea Vitae before it destroys their blossoming romance, and the sanctity of Thalia Island herself.

"Despite the tempest rolling around everything else, I am, in this moment, incredibly grateful for the safe harbor that is Finan Rowleigh." A storm is coming and it will whirl you around in a maelstrom of emotions that leave you gasping. ***Obligatory cliffhanger (and possible trigger) warning. Don't say no one told you. You've been warned*** Raw, emotional, and gripping with an intricately complex mystery that will keep you guessing and questioning who can be trusted. "Having him near makes me stronger. Makes me feel less alone, like there's one person left on this planet I can trust." Planet Lara is the MUST-READ series of 2021. Taking the best of women's fiction and romantic suspense to create something wholly unique: Enviromance. So shove whatever book you're currently reading back onto your to-be-read pile and pick this up NOW! Seriously, Netflix, Hulu, your move, because this is your next smash hit. I absolutely adore Lara's character arc and how Eliza Gordon has infused the series with heart, humor, a little bit of heat, hope, and all the messy, complicated emotions of REAL characters and REAL relationships. Gordon will have you laughing, crying, screaming in frustration, and engaging your mind as you challenge yourself to unravel the mystery of evils plaguing Lara Clarke and Thalia Island. NOTE ***It's CLEARLY stated in MULTIPLE places (the book itself, the blurb, the author's website) that book 1 and 2 end in cliffhangers. So don't be angry or shocked. It's not a surprise. So sit back and enjoy the Planet Lara series like your favorite episodic summer drama. Welcome to Planet Lara (Planet Lara, book 1) ends in a mild cliffhanger. Like a rolling hill leading you into book 2. Tempest (Planet Lara, book 2) by comparison, is like a sheer drop off. So if your heart can't take the emotional burden, stock up on book 1 and 2 as you wait for Sanctuary (Planet Lara, book 3) coming December 14, 2021 and prepare to binge read!***
