  Escaping her abusive past, a woman settles in a small town and finds herself pursued by two men—and protected by a mysterious wolf. 
   
   
    
  A veterinarian by training and a gifted healer by nature, Julie Hastings escapes to rural South Dakota, hoping to escape past traumas and start over. What she finds instead are two men who suddenly rival for her attention: one the overprotective chief of police, the other a powerful member of the Sioux Indian nation. Each man longs to help Julie find the peace she desperately needs—a serenity that is shattered when a brutal murder rocks the neighborhood. Trusting people is not in Julie's nature, so when a mysterious wolf befriends her, she leans into his protective animal instincts. Until the shocking truth about her beastly protector shakes her to the core, shattering everything she once understood about love.

  In the sleepy, scenic Southern Highlands of New South Wales, a beautiful young woman goes missing.  
   
  Six years later, recently divorced historian Rose McHugh leaves the city to start a new life in the Highlands and finds a roll of film buried in her back garden. On it are photos of the missing woman. Against the advice of an enigmatic detective, she uses her powers of persuasion and her knack for deciphering clues to pursue the case. As Rose searches through tangled secrets and hidden places haunted by the past, she realises there is a killer at large. As she makes new friends, and dangerous enemies, Rose closes in on a suspect-but will she solve the mystery too late to save herself?  
   
  Set in the atmospheric villages and forests of the Southern Highlands, Echo Lake is a compulsive read that will keep you guessing until the very end. 
   
  'As cosy as it is compulsive, Sauers brings the eerie beauty of winter in the Southern Highlands to life. A highly recommended, vivid read!' JACQUELINE BUBLITZ, author of Leave the Girls Behind 
   
  'Not just a whodunnit, Echo Lake also contemplates what makes for a good life, reminds the reader of the importance of historical truth and throws in a ghost story for good measure.' MARYROSE CUSKELLY, author of The Cane 
   
  'Move over Miss Marple. With its indefatigable heroine, mist-shrouded setting, cast of quirky characters and as many trips to the pub as there are mysteries to solve, Echo Lake is cosy crime at its dynamic, atmospheric best - and Sauers is certainly a writer to watch.' ANNA DOWNES, author of The Shadow House 
   
  'Full of atmosphere; the very landscape echoes both freedom and foreboding. Rose McHugh, middle-aged and newly single, is a convincing, compelling and intelligent protagonist who stumbles onto a mystery and won't let it go.' VIKKI PETRAITIS, author of The Unbelieved
