Sinossi

Dear Judy:Your letter is here. I have read it twice, and with amazement. Do I understand that Jervis has given you, for a Christmas present, the making over of the John Grier Home into a model institution, and that you have chosen me to disburse the money? Me—I, Sallie McBride, the head of an orphan asylum! My poor people, have you lost your senses, or have you become addicted to the use of opium, and is this the raving of two fevered imaginations? I am exactly as well fitted to take care of one hundred children as to become the curator of a zoo.

    A BEGINNING. 
    Morgan Travers was little more than a favored intern at a top medical research facility with a bright future ahead of her. She laughed, she worked, she lived, and she’d at last earned the coveted favor of her mentor, Dr. Xi. Morgan was a nobody, but she was going places. Until one choice destroyed everything: her career, her life, her nation. In one horror-filled moment, Morgan Travers became an infamous curse on everyone’s lips. 
    A REPEAL. 
    Locked in the darkness until her hair begins to gray, a mysterious offer interrupts Morgan’s sealed fate. If she agrees, she could undo the nightmare, restore order to a land destroyed, and exact revenge on those who had betrayed her. The question is: where is the line and will she be willing to cross it? 
    The thrilling conclusion to the Walking Shadows series unveils the mysterious, dark origins of its dystopian world at last.

    The pulse-pounding, psychological thriller, from the international top ten bestselling author of The Sleepover and The Summer House  
    How well do you really know your husband? 
    Two years ago, my whole world was ripped apart when my husband and best friend were killed in a car accident in Norfolk. Since then, I've struggled to come to terms with my overwhelming grief and to understand why they were together in Charlie’s car that fateful day. 
    I know I can’t carry on with my reclusive lifestyle, hiding away, alone in this big house. I have to find a way to start living again. 
    Following a friend’s advice, I sign up to a reputable dating site, IntoYou. She tells me it’s the perfect way to meet someone, and when I quickly get a match, I believe she is right. I am surprised how easy this is. 
    But it seems I have a lot to learn. Anyone can hide behind a computer screen, using the sinister mask of anonymity. It seems by exposing myself I've attracted the wrong kind of attention. 
    Strange things start to happen in my life and shocking secrets come to light. Evil is watching me and it is connected to my past. Will I see the danger before it’s too late? 
    The thrilling read for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell.

    Revenge isn’t always sweet, but it sure can be satisfying... 
    Sig never wanted to return to Manning Grove since it didn’t hold any good memories. Growing up a part of the Blood Fury MC ended up being a disaster and screwed up his life, which led to him spending most of it in and out of jail. But now he’s not only back, he’s sitting at the table as VP next to Trip, his half-brother who has resurrected the MC from the ashes. 
    Still bitter about what went down twenty years ago, he’s now trying to move past it and stay out of jail for good. Until he finds a beaten and abused woman running through the woods, trying to escape her captors. Now all he can think about is revenge on the Shirley Clan, a group of sovereign citizens who follow no laws but their own. And if he isn’t careful, he might end up right back where he vowed to never go again. Behind bars. 
    Note: Blood & Bones: Sig is the second book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It’s recommended to read this series in order. Please check my website at www.jeannestjames for any content warnings.
