Jennifer Hartmann Synopses: Claws and Feathers is a standalone novel by Jennifer Hartmann. Abigail Stone has endured more loss than most people face in a lifetime. Orphaned at sixteen, estranged from her only sibling, and betrayed by the man she once loved, she arrives in the small town of Crow’s Peak hoping for a fresh start. She wants distance from her past and a chance to rebuild her life.

She is not expecting to be abducted on her first night in town.

Cooper McAllister, a local cop, is reluctantly helping at his father’s bar when he notices the new girl with violet eyes. There is something haunted in her expression, something that makes him wonder whether she has had a bad day or an entire life shaped by hardship. When Abigail disappears that same night, Cooper realizes the truth far sooner than he ever imagined.

Finding her is only the beginning. Saving her means uncovering the secrets she has spent years trying to bury, a task that proves far more complicated than he expects. As danger closes in, Cooper is forced to stay close to Abigail, and the connection between them grows stronger with every step.

Her life is at risk, and so are their hearts.

Still Beating is a standalone novel by Jennifer Hartmann. Cora expects nothing more than a hangover or a questionable morning after when she attends her sister’s birthday party. She does not expect her wallet to be stolen, leaving her stranded and forced to rely on Dean, the man who has been her nemesis for fifteen years. And she certainly does not expect to wake up shackled in a madman’s basement.

Dean is chained beside her, just as trapped and just as confused. After years of teasing, insults, and relentless rivalry, the two of them now have no choice but to work together if they want to survive.

What they do not know is that their abductor has a plan for them, one that will twist the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and something far more dangerous, and bind them together with more than chains.

Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann is a standalone novel. Oliver Lynch disappeared one summer night, leaving Sydney Neville with grief, unanswered questions, and a wound that never fully healed. For twenty‑two years she has lived with the ache of his absence, carrying the memory of the boy who vanished without a trace.

Now Oliver has returned. He is no longer the carefree boy next door, but a man shaped by years of captivity, struggling to reclaim a life that was stolen from him. Sydney and Oliver share a bond rooted in childhood and marked by tragedy, a connection that resurfaces the moment they see each other again.

As they confront buried pain, long‑hidden secrets, and the fragile hope of rediscovery, both must face a difficult truth. Healing is possible, but only if they have the courage to ask whether love can mend what has been broken.
