Summary

Good things come to those who wait. That’s what Annie’s always believed.
 
It’s why, when her fiancé Keith launched his nanotech company, Annie set aside law school to help. It’s why she went all-in, trusting the company’s success to make her degree moot. Law school was for her mother anyway. After Rebirth goes public, she and Keith will be rich enough to do whatever they want … like working on her award-winning student screenplay — the real dream she gave up to grow the business.
 
But with the finish line in sight (and creative dreams dancing in Annie’s head), Keith starts to act suspiciously. He’s been spending a lot of time with his attractive lawyer, working late nights. After all the lean years and sacrifices, it’s just not fair. Keith would never cheat, would he? But if not, why is he acting like a cheater?
 
Annie isn’t usually vengeful, but her hand’s been forced. She faces a decision: Should she let Keith play her like a sucker, or should she be strong like the heroine of her screenplay? Should she sit by like a chump … or make a deal with Rebirth’s competitors to get what she deserves?
 
In the heat of an affair, nothing is what it seems — and Hell hath no fury like an artist scorned.

Night was almost upon her, but the chill in the air wasn’t just a physical one. Although the stones were supposed to protect her family and the village, she’d always found the place creepy. It was as though silently standing among them were a thousand ghosts watching her, waiting for her to join them…

When Carole Templeton falls to her death at the cliff edge beside the ancient stone where her father died, locals fear the legend of the blood stone has returned with a vengeance.

Dr Harrison Lane, head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, arrives in Yorkshire and finds a community living in fear of the ancient tribal curse and the myth of a 17th century vampire. But when he sets out to uncover the truth behind the superstition, his findings unnerve him. The legend of the blood stone may not be just a myth but something much more sinister, and the Templeton family curse may be more real than anyone could have imagined. With his personal life preying on his mind, Harrison begins to experience dread for the first time, struggling to connect the threads of the case.

As the sun sets on the stone circle and the shadows of the night creep in, Harrison must unravel the truth behind the curse and stop the killer before it's too late…
