It is set on an imaginary island called Nepenthe, located off the coast of Italy in the Tyrrhenian Sea, a thinly fictionalized description of Capri's residents and visitors. The narrative concerns twelve days during which Thomas Heard, a bishop returning to England from his diocese in Africa, yields his moral vigor to various influences.

    Don’t miss this totally unputdownable psychological crime thriller, guaranteed to have readers up all night turning the pages! Perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden, Daniel Hurst and Lisa Jewell. 
    Would you invite a stranger in? 
    When Megan loses her beloved husband in a tragic car accident, she feels like it’s her own life that has ended. She feels too young to be a widow. Walking around the house that had been their home – so quiet without him – nothing feels the same. 
    But at his funeral, she sees a person she doesn’t know. The heavily-pregnant young woman introduces herself as Emily, her husband’s estranged sister. She explains how she’s been searching for her brother for years, but – as she bursts into noisy sobs – she knows she’s too late now. 
    Megan finds herself taking pity on the sister-in-law she’d never met. And quickly Emily becomes more and more a part of her life, even moving into the spare room of her house. 
    It feels less empty than before, which at first is comforting to Megan. But – even when it’s a relative of the man you loved more than anyone – can you trust a stranger?Readers are loving The Sister in Law:

    In Sector 4, clean air is a luxury, but magic is a toxic waste. 
    Sutton is a Scrubber. In the subterranean bowels of a city powered by volatile "Aetherium," her life is worth less than the hazmat suit she wears. Her job is simple: mop up the lethal magical spills that leak from the upper levels, keep her head down, and don't ask questions. 
    Gage is a Conduit. Isolated in a lead-lined penthouse, he isn't just a man; he is a living nuclear reactor, genetically modified to filter the city's raw energy. He is unstable, dangerously powerful, and lethal to anyone who gets too close. A single touch from him doesn't just burn—it obliterates. 
    When a containment breach forces Sutton into Gage's high-security quarters, she expects to find a monster. Instead, she finds a man broken by his own power, starving for a connection he can never have. 
    Assigned to be his personal cleaner, Sutton enters a terrifying game of forced proximity. Separated only by a layer of glass and reinforced synthetic fabric, the heat between them rises faster than the radiation levels. But as Sutton scrubs away the toxins, she uncovers a conspiracy in the waste logs: Gage isn't leaking energy by accident. The Corporation is poisoning him. 
    Now, Sutton has to make a choice that violates every safety protocol in the book: keep her distance and survive, or strip off the suit to save the weapon of mass destruction who is falling in love with her. 
    He is the city's power source. She is the only one who can handle the fallout.
