Sinopsis

Step into a world where trust is a currency, but betrayal is the price paid for it. The Price of Deception: Dark Tales of Scams and Betrayal is a chilling collection of 35 short stories that explore the terrifying consequences of lies, manipulations, and deceit. Each story takes you on a heart-pounding journey through the lives of those who believed in the promises of others—only to learn too late that those promises were nothing but traps set by the most sinister of minds.In these dark and twisted tales, no one is safe from the lure of easy riches, false hope, or false love. Whether it’s an elderly widow tricked into giving away her fortune in the name of “love,” or a man scammed into an “eternal life” investment that leads to eternal torment, the characters in this book face the terrible fallout of their misplaced trust. From financial frauds to spiritual hoaxes, the scammer’s game is one of manipulation, and the victims’ lives are forever changed by the deceit.Every story in this collection paints a haunting picture of vulnerability and greed. A call from a fake relative turns into a nightmare as a widow realizes she’s been scammed out of her life savings, while a young woman posing as a friend weasels her way into an elderly man’s heart—and bank account—only to disappear when he is most vulnerable. With each tale, you will find yourself gripped by the desperation and fear of those caught in a web of lies.The Price of Deception doesn't just explore scams of money, but also scams of the heart, the mind, and even the soul. The stories delve into emotional, psychological, and even supernatural betrayals, leaving you questioning the very nature of trust. Can you trust anyone, or are we all just one step away from becoming a victim of deception?With vivid descriptions and nerve-wracking suspense, each short story brings a new perspective on the devastating impact of scams. As the characters spiral further into their dark predicaments, readers are taken on a journey that explores the consequences of falling for manipulative promises.If you’ve ever wondered about the darkness that lies beneath seemingly innocent offers or the price of believing in a lie, The Price of Deception: Dark Tales of Scams and Betrayal will open your eyes to a world where trust is easily shattered, and no one can escape the devastating consequences of their own actions. Prepare for a thrilling ride through the darkest corners of human nature—where betrayal is only the beginning, and the true cost is far worse than you could ever imagine.

    In the Wild Fields 
    One year ago, Lucy Wild vanished without a trace after a school dance in Crawford's Mill, Missouri, a close-knit farming town where secrets run as deep as the riverbanks. Despite the town's whispered suspicions and hushed accusations, her body was never found—until now. Discovered near the Tarkio River on the other side of the cornfield, her remains bring grief back to the surface and reignite questions that were never truly answered. 
    Griffin Cole never intended to return to Crawford's Mill, a place haunted by his troubled youth and a strict father he could never please. But when his struggling newspaper in St. Joseph needs compelling stories to survive, he's sent back to cover the discovery of Hope's body on the anniversary of her disappearance. He claims to be working on a podcast to get people to open up, but he's really there to find the truth. 
    For Griffin, the return is more complicated than just an assignment. He once loved Judith Dixon, now Judith Wild—the grieving mother whose pain is only rivaled by the secrets she guards. Their past was intense and complicated, marked by rivalry with her now-husband, Clayton Wild III, heir to the largest corn farm in the area. Clayton is determined to protect his family's name, even if it means burying the truth. 
    As Griffin digs deeper, he finds himself drawn back into the tangled history of Crawford's Mill, where the Wild family's influence touches everything and old loyalties collide with buried lies. Teaming up with a young deputy who secretly questions the sheriff's quick closure of the case, Griffin starts to unravel the dark undercurrents that led to Lucy's death.

    With just two days before Christmas, young Liam Byrne is caught in the act of burgling the wealthy Marchmont family home. Liam's wife Shannon is devastated: with no money, no hope, no husband - and their baby due any day. But from gaol, Liam claims he was set-up. As heavy snow blankets Cherringham, can Jack and Sarah do the impossible - find the real culprit and free Liam in time?
    
    Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby.
