Sinopsis

Across the golden glory of the sky floated the insistent call of the muezzin just as Damaris, followed closely by Wellington, her bulldog, turned out of the narrow street into the Khan el-Khalili. Shrill and sweet, from far and near it came, calling the faithful to prayer, impelling merchants to leave their wares, buyers their purchases, gossips their chatter, and to turn in the direction of Mecca and offer their praise to Allah, who is God. As the entire male population of the native quarter knelt, the girl drew back beneath an awning of many colours which shaded silken goods from the rays of the sun, whilst curious eyes peeped down upon her from behind the shelter of the masharabeyeh, the harem lattice of finely-carved wood.

A tragic love triangle between a beautiful English girl, an English gentleman, and a half-English, half-Egyptian plays out among the ruins and under the desert stars of 1920s era Egypt. The saga ends, as all love triangles must, in tragedy upon the desert sands.

Angie is so relieved that she ignores her usual buzz-kill tendencies, and agrees to have a drink with Mr. Sexy Salvation . . . 
     
     
     
    But things don't stop at just a drink. Or even a hot make-out session.

    They say time heals all wounds, but some cut too deep—or so I thought. 
     
    I've built a life I love and am proud of in Sandcastle Cove, running the bar, keeping things simple, and enjoying my single life. I don't need anyone, especially not Parker—the boy who shattered my heart and left me to pick up the pieces after we lost everything. 
     
    Then he walks back into town. But he's no longer that scared, reckless seventeen-year-old; now he's a man—steady, confident, and determined to make amends. He says he's here to stay and ready to fight for us. 
     
    But what does he expect? That I'll just hand him my heart again? Forgiving him feels impossible. Trusting him? Even harder. Yet every time our eyes meet, it reminds me of what we once had, and my walls crack a little more, making me wonder if it's worth risking my heart again.

    Who doesn't love a second chance? 
     
    When empty nester Mallory Farrell inherits her grandmother's run-down tourist shop in Seaport, Oregon, it seems the only sensible thing to do is to sell it. But when her former secret crush, Grayson Matthews, wants to buy the property in order to complete his plans to redevelop the funky town's business district into a soulless, cookie-cutter outdoor mall, Mallory digs in her heels and decides to renovate the property herself. 
     
    With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home décor shop called Romancing the Home—all while trying to ignore the depressing and decrepit apartment she's living in on the second floor. When the shop catches the eye of a popular renovation TV show producer, Mallory is thrilled—until it becomes clear that her apartment is to be part of the segment as well. 
     
    She's tempted to abandon her dreams and the town under a cloud of shame. But perhaps there's more to Grayson than meets the eye. Can he swallow his pride, change his plans, and help Mallory romance her own home—and possibly her life?

    Eighteen months after Hillary suffered a personal tragedy, she is throwing herself into her work to try to get over it. 
     
    Former soldier Gareth Proctor joins her team and finds himself quickly growing to enjoy his new environment. 
     
    The first cold case he works on is the murder of Andrew Feeley. 
     
    In 2012, this twenty-one-year-old was found dead in the woods near his home, killed by a single stab wound to the chest from his own knife. 
     
    Andrew was extremely unpopular. He was a drug dealer, pimp and bully. His stepdad was one of the main suspects, as they hated each other and often came to blows. Other suspects include Toby Truman and his mother Debbie. Andrew was responsible for getting Toby hooked on drugs. 
     
    Given Andrew’s criminal background, his murder is thought to be drug-related. 
     
    But Hillary’s not buying it — she knows it’s personal. And a search of the Feeleys’ garden turns up some chilling evidence.
