Domestic Suspense

When Rachel and her husband Adam move to Maple Cottage in remote Cheshire, it should be the fulfilment of their dream to start a family. Haunted by her past and challenged by events around her, Rachel finds that her home is not the sanctuary she envisaged—and neither is her marriage. Adam’s temper rages when he discovers he is infertile. She seeks solace in the arms of her gardener and falls pregnant. Dreams become reality—and a garden grows, but as every gardener knows, even the most beautiful plants can be poisonous.

Richard Kelly was at the top of his game as a world-renowned neurosurgeon, until his ex-wife's betrayal sent his life into a tailspin. Desperately seeking to escape his demons, he sets off to a remote island in the South, only to be confronted with a familiar face from his past. But this chance encounter plunges him into a bigger predicament than he could have ever imagined.

The darkest secrets hide in plain sight. When Freya Thorne finds a woman’s body on the beach, she is swept back into the nightmare of the past. She knows the similarities to her daughter’s tragic death cannot be coincidence, but nobody will believe her.

It’s happening again—people are disappearing. And just like before, the finger is pointed at Becca. She knows how it looks … and that she’s being set up. Someone is following her. Sneaking into her house. Planting evidence to make her look guilty. The problem is, she has no idea why. The bigger problem is, no one believes her. And time is running out.

Becca would like nothing better than to put the past behind her and focus on making Redemption her home. But what do you do when the past refuses to stay buried? Becca still can't remember the night sixteen-year-old Jessica disappeared from a party, never to be seen again. Which is bad enough (especially since she was supposedly the last person to see Jessica alive), but it's not the worst … Strange events are making Becca think there's a link between what happened to Jessica fifteen years ago and the darkness happening now.

Years later, she builds a new life by burying that terrible moment deep in the past. Until another mentally unstable woman is found with her dead newborn ... and she says her "real" baby was taken by a shadowy figure.
