Hooked

Colleen Charles

I get up on the wrong side of the bed . . . every single day. 
 
 
 
They call me grumpy. A downer. Maybe even negative. But when your fiancée shatters your life into a million pieces it can take a while to heal. 
 
 
 
Enter Gwenivere. She's ethereal, hypnotic, and completely stunning. Everything that I'm not. The night she slips into the empty chair next to me during a night out with the team feels like the shutters being thrown open in a blackened room. 
 
 
 
Her heat pierces my tough outer shell just like a ray of light. And as I swallow her sunshine, she draws me to her. The closer I get, the more I want to claim her as mine. But she's not looking for a knight in shining armor . . . she has her own thing going on. Helping people. Healing people. 
 
 
 
They say my heart is broken, and that I don't believe in second chances. But deep down—I do. I want to trust and let her see the real me underneath the gruff exterior. 
 
 
 
I don't want my sweet Gwen to pay for the sins of the past. And if I let her in—let myself fall again—her soft vulnerability might be exactly what stitches me back together. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

The Gathering

Rachel Lynch

I've waited twenty years to kill you...

Two decades ago, something terrible happened. The survivors scattered. The guilty walked free. Now Ada MacGullach is returning to Castle Brora – her beloved Scottish Highland retreat – to renew her vows with her husband Del in front of their closest friends and family. Nestled among fifteen-thousand acres of ancient moorland and mist-shrouded forest, it should be the perfect celebration: old friends, fine whisky and years of marriage honoured in style.

But old friends carry old secrets. And not everyone who turns up has been invited.

Someone has travelled many miles to be here, carrying a twenty-year grudge and a hunger for vengeance that time has sharpened. As the Highland mist rolls in and cuts Brora off from the rest of the world, Ada will begin to understand that the people closest to her are not who she thought they were.

But then again, neither is she…

A darkly addictive thriller for fans of The Hunting Party and Big Little Lies – a story of dangerous marriages, hidden secrets and a weekend celebration that becomes something sinister. Once you start, there's no leaving early!

The Burning of Rosemont Abbey

Naomi Stephens

Everyone in Wilbeth Green has something to hide, but she's about to uncover their secrets.

1956: In a quiet English village, the smoldering ruins of Rosemont Abbey have set the residents' tongues wagging, and everyone is quick to accuse troublemaker Paul Everly of the crime of arson. Paul has vanished without a trace, leaving only his plucky twin sister, Louisa, certain of his innocence. Fueling her conviction is an inexplicable connection--she felt her twin's death an hour before the abbey went up in flames.

Armed with nothing but her wit and her keen sense of intuition, Louisa embarks on her own investigation, challenging the dubious townspeople and the disdain of her aunt and uncle. Even Inspector Malcolm Sinclair, once Paul's closest friend, warns Louisa to abandon her pursuit. But Louisa is determined to solve a murder no one else believes was committed, even if it means unraveling secrets that could shake Wilbeth Green to its core.

"A thrilling and beautifully written tale from start to finish, filled with a strong sense of time, deft characterization, and more than enough twists to keep one guessing. Readers will be as hard-pressed as I was to put this one down once they begin."--ANNA LEE HUBER, USA Today bestselling author

"An English murder mystery set in the 1950s, plus a friends (and sometimes enemies)-to-more romance? Naomi Stephens is an author to watch!"--JULIE KLASSEN, bestselling author
