Don't trust ANYONE…

​

When a young woman makes a distressing middle-of-the-night call to 911, apparently running for her life in a quiet, exclusive beachside neighbourhood, miles from her home, everything suggests a domestic incident.

​

Except no one has seen her since, and something doesn't sit right with the officers at Hampstead County PD. With multiple suspects and witnesses throwing up startling inconsistencies, and interference from the top threatening the integrity of the investigation, lead detective Casey Wray is thrust into an increasingly puzzling case that looks like it's going to have only one ending…

And then the first body appears…

Every family has its secrets. Mine has a body count.

‘Terrific . . . suspense fans won’t want to miss this chiller.’ Publishers Weekly

Please note, this book was previously published as Mosaic and The Cursed Girls.

Today, my sister marries the man of her dreams. Spellbound, I watch as she descends the winding stairs of our family home. A vision in white. My best friend and I trail behind in matching bridesmaids gowns — so alike you can barely tell us apart.

It was the perfect day. Until someone struck a match — and murdered my best friend. She burned to death not long after my sister said, ‘I do’.

Her biggest mistake?

​

Looking at me like she didn’t already belong to me.

​

Aria Quinn walked into my world like she had a choice.

​

She doesn’t.

​

Not after the way I’ve seen her—
the curve of her body, the heat in her eyes… the way she reacts when I step too close.

I want my hands on her.

Want to see how far I can push before she gives in… or begs me not to stop.

I should’ve stayed away.

​

Instead, I took her.

Now she’s in my house.
Sleeping under my roof.
Close enough that I could have her whenever I decide.

​

And every man in this city suddenly thinks they can use her against me.

​

Touch her.

Try.

See what happens.

​

She’s not a weakness.

She’s mine.

​

And I don’t share what belongs to me.

​

Even if taking her starts a war I can’t stop.

On a trip to the New York Aquarium with her third-grade class, a teacher discovers a dead body: "One of the world's shrewdest and most amusing detectives" (The New York Times).
 
For the third graders at Jefferson School, a field trip is always a treat. But one day at the New York Aquarium, they get much more excitement than they bargained for. A pickpocket sprints past, stolen purse in hand, and is making his way to the exit when their teacher, the prim Hildegarde Withers, knocks him down with her umbrella. By the time the police and the security guards finish arguing about what to do with Chicago Lew, he has escaped, and Miss Withers has found something far more interesting: a murdered stockbroker floating in the penguin tank.
 
With the help of Detective Oscar Piper, this no-nonsense spinster embarks on her first of many adventures. The mystery is baffling, the killer dangerous, but for a woman who can control a gaggle of noisy third graders, murder isn't frightening at all.

From the author of the internationally bestselling novel, WHEN THE WORLD FELL SILENT, comes a breathtaking tale of secrets, betrayal, and the enduring power of friendship.

​

As the ‘unsinkable' ship strikes the iceberg, amidst the chaos and icy waters, lives are changed forever. In the face of impending doom, what dreams will Hannah and Lou decide are worth saving, and at what cost?

This evocative historical fiction will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, this is a poignant tale of love, choice, and survival against the odds.

He ruined my husband's funeral. Now he's coaching my son.

​

I should hate him for what he did.

Ricky Dalton. Jake's best friend. Trashed at the memorial. Arrested in the parking lot.

Ordered to do two hundred hours, at my rink.

Jake's legacy. My rink.

​

Rule one: do the work. Rule two: stay away from my son.

​

Ricky Dalton breaks both.

​

That stupid grin. The way he ties Lucas's skates. Looks at my boy like he'd bleed for him.

Then he starts noticing the woman I had forgotten I am. His hand on my back. I forgot what warmth feels like.

​

I kiss him first. Jake's jersey watching from the wall. I want his weight in my bed. To wake up next to someone and feel wanted again.

​

I thought this part of me died with Jake. I'm falling anyway.

​

But Lucas has already lost one father.

​

Last time I let someone in, I had to bury him.

If I choose Ricky, I betray the man I buried.

If I don't, I lose myself a second time.

“Molly Fieldmore is starving to death, and she is being terribly polite about it.”

​

For nearly a year now, she has been quietly giving her food to her invalid mother. She mends shirts for threepence apiece. She smiles at the neighbours who pretend not to notice how thin her wrists have become. And every single morning, she tells herself she is perfectly fine, until one grey November afternoon, on a muddy lane three miles from home, her body finally decides it has had enough.

​

The man who finds her in the road is the last person in Hertfordshire she would have chosen.

​

Adrian, the Duke of Thornfield, has not spoken a kind word to anyone in ten years. He doesn't entertain. He doesn't visit. He certainly doesn't rescue chattering young women who wake up in his guest chamber and tell him his eyes look like weather. But Molly Fieldmore weighs nothing in his arms, and her quiet bravery, the smile she offers from the mud, the apology she makes for the inconvenience of fainting, lodges itself somewhere behind his ribs and refuses to leave.

​

He cannot stop riding past her cottage.

“No one had truly looked at Josephine Woode in years, and the man who finally did was the one they all called cruel.”

​

For eight long years, Josephine has been a governess, raising other people's children, wearing the grey dress that lets the world look right through her. She has trained herself to want nothing she cannot earn, and to ask for nothing at all.

​

Then, across a windy churchyard one Sunday morning, the Duke of Blackmere meets her eyes and does not look away.

​

Jack Harrod is the most hated man in the county. The papers say he tore down a village out of cruelty. The drawing rooms say worse. He has never once defended himself, because the truth he carries is too heavy to hand to strangers. He has lived alone for so long that he has forgotten what it feels like to be looked at without fear, and a governess in a grey dress, who looks back at him as though he were simply a man, undoes something in him he thought was permanently fixed.
