Summary

From the sun-soaked shores of Jamaica to the shadowy streets of London, The Jamaican High Commissioner unfolds a pulse-pounding tale of deception and danger.
 
Mason Smith, a distinguished officer of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, is handpicked for a mission that defies logic — arrest the revered Jamaican High Commissioner on charges of murder. But the cold, foggy streets of London conceal more than just secrets; they harbour a deadly conspiracy that threatens to engulf Mason.
 
Enter Alexis Morgan — a stunning British-Moroccan beauty with piercing eyes and a lethal skill set. Sensual, enigmatic, and utterly ruthless, Alexis is no ordinary woman. She’s a trained assassin working for Greycorp, a shadowy multinational with deep roots in the global sugar trade. Her target? Robinson — the lead negotiator of the high-stakes ACP/EU sugar talks. He knows too much, and Greycorp will stop at nothing to silence him.
 
As Mason and Alexis's paths collide, betrayal lurks in every alley, danger dances with desire, and the line between friend and foe blurs. Time is running out, and Mason must untangle a web of lies before London becomes his final resting place.

    Mallory refuses to let Pete into her life, but Pete can’t get her out of his mind. Pete will have to come to terms with what he’s willing to give up for her, and Mallory will have to decide if trusting him is worth the risk of him breaking her heart all over again.

    Laura lives alone in a cabin deep within the forest, making her living translating medical documents and tutoring the children of affluent locals. She spends her days climbing the mountains outside her door and roaming the woods, and soon begins a relationship with a waiter some years her junior, which brings new rhythms to her life. But late one night there is a knock on the door, and on the other side stands someone from her past who has finally found her. 
     
     
     
    As the mystery surrounding why she is there comes into focus, Laura is plagued by a fever, and starts to experience flashbacks to her youth, along with an eerie second sight that seems to lift the veil on reality while making astonishing new connections with the natural world around her. In beguiling, lyrical prose we begin to see how Laura's past informs her present and is a shackle she is desperately trying to shed. Before long though the villagers grow wary of the woman in the cabin and of her increasingly odd behavior, and a few decide to take matters into their own hands; to free themselves from the malevolent forces of the strega who lives amongst them.
