Synopsis Book 1- The Waiting Booth:
A
missing boy, government agents, an interdimensional portal... Mia has
one goal for her senior year at Whispering Woods High-find her missing
older brother. But when her science project reveals a portal into
another dimension, she learns that travelers are moving in and out of
her woods in the most alarming way and government agents Regulus and
Arizona are policing their immigration. Mia's drawn to the mysterious,
aloof Regulus, but it's no time for a crush. She needs to find out what
they know about her brother, while the agents fight to save the world
from viral contamination. But when Regulus reveals that he knows Mia's
secrets, she begins to wonder if there's more going on than she
thought...and if she was wrong to trust him…
Synopsis Book 2- Whisper of Memory:
Weapons training and winter formals...a deadly combination.
All Mia ever wanted was to fit in at Whispering Woods High. But being a portal-finder who dates a guy from another dimension sort of makes it hard. Mia's brother disappeared over a year ago, and agents from the IIA began policing people's movements through dimensions. She'd trusted Dr. Bleeker from the local university when he'd told her the IIA were the bad guys. But even a girl with an extraordinary ability to sense things can make mistakes.
Now two people are dead, and as a portal gatekeeper for the IIA, Mia needs to find Dr. Bleeker before he hurts anyone else. And her boyfriend Regulus, an Agent for the IIA, carries secrets of his own. Between learning about weaponry, finding the perfect dress for the winter formal, and catching bad guys, who has time to fit in?

Synopsis Book 3- Watcher of Worlds:
Senior year should bring fun, friends, and happiness. Not portals, treachery, and murder.
Seventeen-year-old Mia Taylor, gatekeeper to an interdimensional portal, wants nothing more than to heal from her romance gone wrong. Illegally falling for her co-worker Regulus had been a huge mistake. But when Regulus goes rogue to hunt down a murderer, Mia must forget her broken heart and use her unique abilities to save him. Traveling across dimensions, she enters a strange and hostile world where a rebel faction holds the key to their escape. Her gift of synesthesia is in high demand, and a secret organization of the otherworldly kind has her in their sights. But sabotage and murder may be the least of her worries. Her ex-boyfriend wants a relationship. Her dad wants her to act normal. Her friends want her to stop moping. Who knew faking happy would be the easiest part of senior year?

The doorbell rang. I leaped off the barstool and
hurtled for the door, desperate to relieve the boredom. I flung open the door,
not really surprised that the person in front of me would be able to show up at
the last minute on Christmas Eve night. The wind blew the door open wide and I
hugged my arms around my body.
My ex-boyfriend Regulus stood staring me.
His dark hair curled along the edge of his cream
wool turtleneck and a shy smile teased one corner of his mouth. He held a brown
box tucked under his arm and had one hand shoved into his jeans pocket.
I knew I was only a synesthete and couldn’t make
time stop, but I’d swear the clock hands stood still. In the moment we stood
silent, a boa constrictor of jealousy wrapped around my throat.
Was Regulus attracted to that girl Arizona had
mentioned? Had he kissed her? Was he dating her?
Arizona shoved him out of the doorway. “Dude, I’m
freezing here.” Arizona maneuvered around Regulus’s still body in the doorway.
He leaned forward and gave me a hug. Although I generally avoid the touchy
feely stuff, I let Arizona give me a friendly squeeze.
“Look what I brought,” Arizona said, holding a piece
of mistletoe high in the air.
“In your dreams,” I said and shoved his arm with a
laugh.
Dad stood framed in the kitchen doorway. He smiled
at Arizona, then looked at Regulus. “Son, come on in.” My stomach twisted when
I heard him say ‘son.’ He hadn’t done that before. I didn’t think Dad had cared
very much for Regulus while we dated.
I stepped back from the door, embarrassed at the
ogling that I’d vowed to never do again with Regulus. Biscuit, who had been
glued to Dad’s side begging for food in the kitchen, ran to the door to greet
our visitors. He ran circles around them in that happy dog way.
“I’m glad you both could come. At such short notice
and everything.” Arizona travelled across the family room, peering around
corners. Regulus’s direct stare sent tingly warmth to my face.
“Where is the Christmas tree?” Arizona scouted ahead.
“No tree.” I answered. “We didn’t do that this year.”
Dad came forward and took Arizona’s coat and held
out his hand for Regulus’s. “It’s my fault. Mia said she didn’t care whether we
had one or not, so we didn’t.”
Arizona looked like a kid who’d lost his best
friend. “I thought everyone put one up at Christmas. I was looking forward to
it.” He flopped into Dad’s recliner.
Dad gave me a look. His face said that he thought
Arizona was a single digit on the IQ scale. I grinned.
