Sinossi

In this sophisticated novel of suspense, a killer with a taste for literature lurks in the shadows of Oxford University . . . After a student is found decapitated in the cupola of the Sheldonian Theatre and a cryptic note in an unknown language is discovered, DS Kate Stewart and her partner turn to medievalist Dr. Jonathan Reynolds. He identifies the note as a passage from Beowulf and explains that the murder replicates a killing in the epic poem. Then a second, equally grisly murder escalates the situation. The victim is Tom, Jonathan’s former student and stalker. Horrified, Jonathan identifies the crime’s literary connection to another early English poem. Is the killer obsessed with medieval times—or with Jonathan? When another death suggests that a serial killer is working his way through the English Literature syllabus, both the police and the scholar are drawn into a baffling mystery . . .

    Loving the Don's brother was never part of Andrew's job description. 
    As the right-hand man to Chicago's most feared crime boss, Andrew De Vries knows the rules: family first, business second, no secrets. Too bad he's breaking all three by falling for Shiloh—his best friend's younger brother and the one man who could get them both killed. 
    When Shiloh's company becomes the target of a brutal attack and he's taken hostage, Andrew faces an impossible choice. He can keep their forbidden relationship hidden and watch the love of his life disappear forever, or risk everything—including a bullet from his best friend—to save him. 
    But in the unforgiving world of the mafia, some secrets are worth dying for... and some betrayals can never be forgiven. 
    Will Andrew's confession of love be enough to save them both, or will it be the last words he ever speaks?

    The nightmare is over. Or so I keep telling myself. Bruised and battered, we'd narrowly escaped with our lives. I should be grateful. Grateful that my captors are in custody. Grateful that the chilling, roller-coaster of events, actually brought Nick and me closer. Grateful that we’ve finally taken a step toward something more than friendship. And I am, grateful. 
    But life isn’t simple. 
    Relationships need work. 
    And peace of mind is elusive in the face of unbearable guilt. 
    Because I’m the one who unravelled the puzzle. The one responsible for sending a young man back to a life he thought he’d escaped forever. Until I know he’s safe; until I’ve done everything I can to fix what happened, there will be no pretending I’ve done my bit. No leaving it up to the authorities. I can’t forget and move on. Not in my job. Not in my life. And certainly not in my fledgling romance with Nick Fisher who stormed into my heart with a truckload of his own issues. 
    The fate of a young man isn't the only thing at stake. The quest for truth will push us to our limits. And the biggest question of all—do Nick and I have what it takes to survive the answers. 
      
      
    Author’s note: This story features discussion of the death of a spouse who is not a main character and references to domestic and sexual abuse. ‘The Question of Us’ is the second book in a romantic suspense series following the same couple. There are no relationship cliffhangers.

    A young single dad. An older man. An impossible love story. 
    Milo 
    I lost everyone I’ve ever loved, but there’s one person I’m determined to keep. The baby I was left with when tragedy struck once more. 
    Now my life is all about surviving. I don’t have time to date, or relationships. 
    That is until Ellis, the sexy, older, and kind primary school teacher who’s currently living rent free in my head with no intention of moving out, gives me the second job I desperately need. 
    But why would he want a guy from the wrong side of town, who’s barely paying the bills and comes with a plus one? 
    Ellis 
    Moving to Stillwater was the fresh start I needed after having my heart stomped on and my career practically destroyed. 
    Despite my family’s best efforts, I’m determined that nothing shall break through the walls I’ve built around myself. No more relationships. 
    That is until I meet the much younger grocery store cashier with the warm brown eyes, and accidentally give him a job. 
    As I get to know Milo, brick by brick that wall is coming down and no matter how much I resist I’m starting to run out of excuses as to why I shouldn’t give in. 
    But why would he want anything with someone much older when he could have anyone else? 
    Breakthrough is book 3 in Ana Ashley’s series, Dads of Stillwater. This story contains an age gap, a sweet nine-month-old baby everyone will coo about, all the feels and Ana Ashley’s usual happy ever after.
