After the owner of a security company is murdered, his sharp-edged wife\u2014known only as Diamond\u2014abandons everything: her home, her friends, her career in special ops. She rebuilds as Ashlyn Hale in the sleepy English village of Lower Foxford, where she meets Luke, a handsome local who makes her realize just how lonely she has become. But even in the English countryside, the dark side of life tracks Diamond down, and when the unthinkable strikes she must race against time to save the people she has come to care about. Elise Noble opens the Blackwood Security series with the romantic thriller that earns its specific energy from its morally grey heroine and the dark humor that runs through everything. 🖤<\/p>\n

Noble develops the Lower Foxford community with the affectionate English village atmosphere that makes the contrast between Diamond’s interior world and her exterior circumstances genuinely funny. 🔍<\/p>\n

Noble is one of indie romantic suspense’s most commercially successful authors, with a massive devoted following that has pursued the Blackwood Security series across eighteen volumes and counting for the combination of action-forward plotting, genuinely witty prose, and the specific pleasures of morally complex female protagonists who are fully capable of handling themselves.

Long before James Bond, John P.

Marquand’s Mr. Moto is one of fiction’s most distinctively drawn intelligence operatives\u2014courteous, cultured, multilingual, and capable of lethal efficiency, operating in the morally complex space between the interests of nations with genuine philosophical intelligence about what those interests actually mean. The pre-war Asian setting gives all three novels their specific atmospheric charge: Shanghai’s international quarter, Peking’s art world, Honolulu’s shadow economy all rendered with the specificity of a writer who understood that setting is not backdrop but substance. 🔍<\/p>\n

First serialized in the Saturday Evening Post, the Mr. Moto novels were the inspiration for eight films starring Peter Lorre\u2014a casting that shaped how generations imagined the character.
