Precious Amber

James C Fuller

Sinossi

I watched her from afar ever since she was born. I knew from the moment my eyes spied her that she was the one: the one I needed, the one I had searched for so very long. My careful planning and sacrifices would all be worth it when she was finally mine. She would not disappoint me like the others, for she is Precious.
 
Betrayed, confused and utterly alone, six-year-old Amber Rose struggles against her kidnapper. A man she once called a friend is now her deranged keeper. Stripped of any normality and locked in a room, Amber struggles in a physical and psychological war with her kidnapper, as the abuse and manipulation for control begin.
 
The case of Amber Rose hits too close to home for Police Captain Charles Milton, bringing out an obsessive need to bring Amber home - no matter the cost. But will his determination be enough to find her in time?

Watch Your Back

Terri Parlato

Amid the depths of a bleak Boston winter a recently married couple find their lives and their relationship unraveling, in this brilliantly twisting domestic thriller from a new master of suspense. 
 
Accidents happen, no matter how careful or well-intentioned you are. Psychiatrist Eve Thayer frequently reassures her patients of that fact. There are even times when accidents have good consequences—like when Eve met her now-husband, Nathan, at his collision shop after another car ran her off the road. 
 
After a whirlwind courtship, Nathan and Eve have settled into domestic life. They have a lovely home on a quiet street, a beautiful baby girl, and even the perfect babysitter to care for her. And yet, something isn’t quite right. 
 
The stress in Eva’s life is mounting, both professionally and personally. Though the clinic where she works has been remodeled since its notorious days as an institution for the criminally insane, she feels increasingly uneasy there. And in her own neighborhood, a break-in at a nearby empty house hasn’t helped, either. 
 
Detective Rita Myers hasn’t yet figured out whether Eve is a target or a suspect, but every disturbing discovery in this usually peaceful neighborhood seems to revolve around her. Only as a deadly ice storm crashes through does it become clear just how far from perfect Eve and Nathan’s lives really are. And as the cracks  
in the surface come to light, so do the sinister secrets that lie beneath …
