  After setting up a small sewing studio in quaint Hideaway Grove, Abbey Chandler is focused on finding crafty, creative ideas to build up her clientele. But murder can be bad for business … 
   
  Some of the independent shops in this sleepy town are barely hanging on financially—and that includes Sarah’s Sweets, Abbey’s aunt’s bakery. The shop’s advantage—aside from the deliciousness of its products—is the fact that it’s the only bakery in the area. But it looks like that’s about to change. The second wife of a wealthy businessman wants her own bakery—and money is no object.

Abbey’s doing her best to stay optimistic and stitch some custom tote bags for the attendees, but she’s also concerned with patching up Aunt Sarah’s good reputation. And when it comes to sorting through the possible motives of the victim’s family members and associates, she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve …

  The untold love story of a Roman couple destined to shape an empire—before history wrote their names. 
  In the heart of ancient Rome, where marble statues guard their secrets and the Senate chambers echo with whispered plots, intrigue weaves through every corner. Kyra, a young medica, arrives in Rome for an arranged marriage to a man aligned with her father's enemy. Her journey leads her to the heart of a web of mystery and espionage, where shadows cling to every cobblestone, casting a Gothic pall over her steps. Amidst this maze of secrets, forbidden attractions, and dangerous ambitions, the Tower of Malatha beckons—a refuge or a trap. 
  As the sun sets over the Eternal City, the Tower of Malatha stands sentinel. Its stones harbour more than mere echoes; they cradle the fate of souls entwined by ambition, love, and treachery. Will they ascend to greatness or plunge into the abyss? 
  Note: This is Book 1 of a documentary historical quadrilogy with mystery, espionage, romance, and gothic elements, based on the author's extensive research, travel to ancient sites, and consultation of over two hundred ancient and contemporary scholarly sources. The author is a qualifying physician and holds a master's degree in classical archaeology, achieving full grades for their thesis. 
  Step into the world of Ancient Rome—a story of power, intrigue, and legacy. Please note: This audiobook is temporarily autonarrated due to time and budget constraints. As a medical student, I hope to personally narrate my books in the future. Thank you for supporting independent authors. 
  This story presents historical figures within their time period, grounded in research rather than religious themes. Suitable for general audiences.
