They thought they could leave their past behind. But murder doesn’t retire.
Retired cops Rita and Rhonda Knight are eager to leave their crime-fighting past behind them and retire to the sleepy little town of Clovedale Falls. With the annual Pumpkin Festival right around the corner, the pair work day and night to get their bakery ready so they can finally say goodbye to solving crime.

But their dreams of a quiet new life are shattered when a strangely familiar man is found dead next door – and the twin sisters are quickly plunged into a murder investigation that will push them to their limits. As the newest arrivals in the town, all eyes are on them… and they have no idea who they can trust.

Are they one late-night hayride away from tumbling back into a very bad idea?

Olivia Minelli needs a one-way ticket out of Pine Harbour. It’s too small for both her and her ex-husband. So when a new job falls into her lap, she grabs it with both hands. When this contract is complete, she’ll have enough money saved up to leave town for good. Which means settling some unresolved business with the only man she’s ever truly loved, once and for all.

Rafe Minelli knows he won’t get a second chance at what he once had with his ex-wife. The demands of his double career—as a police officer and military reservist—were a dealbreaker when they were together. And he’s thrilled for her new opportunity. But with it comes a ticking clock that forces both of them to address the smouldering embers of a connection that just won’t go away.

Love does not advertise. Love counts no wrongs.

But when a young woman needs to escape an ogre, she’ll take an ad to find a man she can adore.
Verity Carr wants a new life in a new town far from her old home and the vile threat to her body and soul. She comes from a fine family, has a good education and a bold ambition to become a portrait artist. She’s ready to live her life with a man who will value her. A husband she can can respect and in time, hopefully love. Yet valiant though she is, she questions if she can escape her past and the one who will not let her go.

Can a gentleman to whom great wrong was done, build a new life with a true wife and leave the past behind?

Nobody is ever above suspicion in the ‘wilderness of mirrors’ that is the world of intelligence, but when a senior officer goes bad it still hurts. When that senior officer can’t be identified, it hurts even more. Conventional detective work to unmask him is going to be too slow, and probably unreliable, so an alternative strategy has to be formulated. With the security of Britain’s most secret computer system at stake, and trust a commodity in short supply, a deception operation is set in train to flush out the traitor. Paul Richter, an unemployed ex-Naval aviator, is the unwitting and ultimately expendable bait in the trap. But as the net closes around the traitor in France, a female Russian intelligence officer flees Moscow and the evidence she brings points the finger of suspicion in a very different direction.
