Strategic Book Publishing is thrilled to announce the launch of Denise Ann Stock’s captivating fourth novel in her acclaimed series, “Summer (With Collateral Damage),” where two harrowing threats – one from nature and one man-made – conjoin to forge a heart-stopping narrative.
In this thrilling new release, we journey back with the Connor Family, this time meeting Alyse Johnson, an attorney with a quiet beachfront life that is about to be shaken to its core. Alyse, alongside her friends in the Connor family, resolves to endure a daunting Category 4 hurricane by barricading themselves in their upscale beach properties. Little do they know, a tempest of another kind—in the form of relentless burglars—sweeps through their abandoned neighborhood, revealing that their greatest test may not be the storm outside but the emerging threat from within. The stormy darkness, while obscuring, lays bare the most vivid of human strengths and frailties.
Lynn Eddy, VP of Acquisitions at Strategic Book Publishing, warns future readers: “Heartpounding terror is in store not only for the characters in the book, but for readers as well. Be ready to get scared.”

About the Book
In the luminous world of Alyse Johnson, the tranquility of a privileged beachside existence is mercilessly shattered. This summer, the calm of the Jacksonville Beach is obliterated not just by the cataclysmic fury of a Category 4 hurricane but also by intruders who ruthlessly exploit the chaos, invading the once-peaceful community Alyse calls home.
Locked within the sturdy walls alongside the steadfast Connor family, Alyse isn’t just fighting against the brutal elements outside. As the storm ravages her surroundings, an internal storm of emotions also unfurls as she grapples with turbulent feelings towards Christian, her best friend’s brother and the one person she should stay away from.
Two tempests, external and internal, intertwine to forge a tale where the palpitations of the heart echo the howling of the wind and where every creak and whisper may signify either a clandestine romance or lurking danger.
Will Alyse navigate through these intertwining storms to find peace amidst chaos and love amidst fear?
