SWEET AND DEADLY
Six months ago Catherine Linton's parents died in a car crash. Now, she's returning to her hometown -Lowfield, Mississippi - because she doesn't believe it was an accident. She wants answers, and when she starts asking questions they lead her to the dead, badly beaten, body of one of her father's long-term colleagues. She was right: there are secrets being kept in Lowfield. But if she keeps investigating, the town where she grew up might also send her to her grave . . .

SECRET RAGE

Her career as a New York City model may be over, but she plans to go back to college and train up to become a writer. But the women of Knolls are not safe. There's a violent attack at her college - and then another. As Nickie is unwillingly swept up in what becomes a string of brutal crimes, she must take matters of justice into her own hands if she is to keep hold of her new, promising life . . .
