Dead to Me
Spring 1935.
On London's Hampstead Heath, two girls meet by chance: well-mannered and smartly dressed Verity and dishevelled and grubby Ruby. Somehow, the mismatched pair form an instant friendship strong enough to survive their parent's disapproval.
When war engulfs the country - sending Ruby to Devon while Verity struggles to find a new beginning under a shadow from her past - the girls are convinced they will always be there for each other. Until the day one breaks the other's heart . . .
Can Verity and Ruby find a way back to each other before it's too late?
Gypsy
Tragedy sent her on a journey far from home . . .
Fifteen-year-old Beth's life is shattered when she and her brother Sam are orphaned. Believing that only in America can they make a fresh start, brother and sister leave Liverpool and embark on the greatest adventure of their lives.
In New York, Beth's talent with the fiddle earns her the friendship of gamblers, chancers and other rogues. Dodging trouble across America, Beth and her friends head for the Klondike river in search of gold. But how far must Beth go to find happiness?
And will her travels lead this gypsy to a place she can ever call home?
Stolen
A woman washes up on a Sussex beach, barely alive.
She's wearing an old-fashioned dress and her hair has been hacked off. There are signs she has been bound by her wrists and ankles. She doesn't know how she ended up there, or even her own name.
The police are baffled and when the doctors examine her, they make a shocking discovery: She has recently given birth.
Who is she? And where is her baby?
A Lesser Evil
She defied her parents and married for love . . .
Following her heart, Fifi moves with Dan to London where they rent a seedy flat in Dale Street, Kennington. Though Fifi must now become acquainted with squalor, she is soon drawn into the goings on behind the shabby front doors of her new neighbours. But it is the Muckles, at number 11, who are the street's focus.
Rumours of criminal depravity and shocking behaviour are rife. So when Fifi steps in to help their youngest child, she risks the wrath of this frightening family.
Suddenly, not only her marriage and her family, but the lives of all the inhabitants of Dale Street are at the mercy of the immoral Muckles . . .
Forgive Me
Eva's life was secure, until the death of her mother changed everything. When Eva Patterson makes the devastating discovery of her mother, Flora, dead in the bath, she finds a note:
'Forgive Me'.
And then everything changes. For when Flora leaves Eva a London artist's studio in her will, she finds her mother had a secret past. In the studio's attic are Flora's paintings and diaries, and Eva learns her mother was a popular artist in the swinging sixties. Eva's hunt for answers uncovers clues to a shocking crime which led Flora to hide her past.
But will discovering the truth destroy Eva's belief in everything she holds dear?
And will this journey lead her and those she loves into danger?

Will she succumb to the dark forces of this most brutal of wars?
